This study compares the poetic world of Heonanseolhun and Ju sook-jin, each of them representing Korea and China’s woman poets. Heonanseolhun, the most well-known woman poet of Korea in China, was first introduced to the mainland China by Ju Ji-bun, an envoy sent to Chosun in 1605, and was compared with past Chinese woman poets such as Ju Sook-jin and I I-an. However, yet, there were no discussions on the differences of the poetic inclination between Heonanseolhun and the past Chinese poets. Though Heonanseolhun and Ju Sook-jin lived in different times and places, they share something in common; they spiritualized the resentment they had to endure while experiencing discord with husband in the period Confucianism was dominant. Examining the differences and similarities of the two woman poets shown on the poetic world has confirmed that the two ladies are reaching the level of satire and complaint though their works are based on both desperate affection and resentment of traditional women. Especially, Ju Sook-jin escapes from the traditional passive image of women and criticized the ideology of Confucian even stronger than Heonan- seolhun, leaving a poem making a mockery of the times. The feature of the poetic inclination of Heonanseolhun is that she sublimated the resentment and sorrow traditional women experienced through Taoist poem and that she pursued Sungye as a place for literary imagination in order to escape from the reality filled with anguish. On the other hand, Ju Sook-jin showed active interest in history and reality through historical lyrics. This is the different literary breakthrough from the pursuit of Sungye by Heonanseolhun. In this study, I estimated that the two woman poets, who was not able to change the reality, recorded the spike of traditional woman literature by sublimating the dissatisfaction of real world to poetry through changing the time and the place.
