A literary painting is a painting drawn not as a means of livelihood but as a means of cultivation and character development. The first literary painting was six paintings by Gae-ji during the period of Dongjin (東晉, 317~420), and its origin can be found in paintings that contain lessons on women's morality and etiquette. Its origin can also be found in paintings such as Gosin, Hwang Jeong-gyeong, Mibul, and Yi Gong-rin, starting with Wang Yu of the Tang Dynasty (唐代, 618~907) in China and reaching the Northern Song (北宋, 960~1127). Since then, various theories of literary painting have been presented and theoretical standards have been established. In the Yuan Dynasty (元, 1271~1368), four representative painters in landscape painting such as Hwang Gong-mang, Oh Jin, Ye-chan, and Wang Mong formed and revived a standard form for literary painting.
In the late Ming Dynasty (明, 1368~1644), Yi Dong-chang became a representative form of literary painting by drawing or imitating the works of masters as they were or revealing them in writing. In particular, Yi Dong-chang emphasized the absolute superiority of literary painting by dividing successive painters into literary and professional painters. In the midst of the revival of Chinese literary painting, traditional Korean literary painting tends to be of the noble class centered on male culture under the influence of Neo-Confucianism, which was developed based on the doctrine of honoring Confucius' thoughts that occurred in ancient China. However, in modern times, the standard that a writer should be a writer has become ambiguous, and gradually deviated from Neo-Confucianism, and the subject matter, subject, form, and technique of literary painting have diversified.
Therefore, in order to transform traditional literary painting to suit modern society, research is needed to explore and recreate the soft and gentle tendency of women's culture, which has been neglected so far.
Sagongdo of the Tang Dynasty in China expresses emotional beauty through twenty-four poems. Emotional beauty is a category of beauty that divides the feelings of twenty-four poems and the poet's heart into intuitive and symbolic words. In this study, among the emotional beauty of twenty-four poems, works with momentum were selected and analyzed based on the beauty of the soft and gentle tendencies of <Jeona>, <Calm>, <Cheonggi>, <Pyoil>, <Giri>, and <Seomnong>.
Through this study, it will be possible to confirm the beauty of feminine disposition. Through this, it will be possible to explore various developments of stagnant modern Korean culture and suggest the possibility of development as contemporary art. In addition, modern Korean culture will be able to develop further when feminine disposition is discovered and masculine beauty and feminine aesthetic boundaries, which are the aesthetic categories of traditional masculine beauty, are in harmony with each other.
