On the Acceptance of Taoist Culture by Korean Scholar Seong Hyeon
The Daoist thoughts of immortality had a profound influence on the literary creation of the ancient Korea literati Seong Hyeon.Seong Hyeon not only expressed his desire to escape from the secular world by incorporating Taoist imagery into his poems,but also expressed his aspirations for immortality in his poems;he also recorded the rituals of the Taoist fasting ceremony in his novella Yongzhai Conghua,which tells stories about the battles of his family and friends against the ghosts and monsters.He wrote about Zhong Kui and Cheoyong,the gods of the guardian separately in China and North Korea,in his Xubaitang Collections.All these not only show the influence of the raveling-for-immortal poems of Cao Zhi,Li Bai,and Li He,and the novels on monsters and ghosts of Gan Bao and Pu Songling on the contents,themes,and artistic styles of Cheoyong's poems and novels,but also the spread of Taoist deities in ancient Korea and their new changes.
