Jisujeong is a bower Kim Deug-yeon builds to best of his ability from latter part of his fifties. The building is not merely for pastimes, but for his applying himself to his own study, teaching younger scholars, and carrying on his own life converted to Nature. The reason why he name his building 'Jisu' is as follows; for staying the flowing water, for making his mind clear, not only for the former purposes but for awakening others mind. In addition, it can be said that he reveals implicitly his likings for the mountain and water, and has both wisdom and benevolence. In Jisujeong and Eight famous spots in Jisujeong, he recites the surrounding scenery of his life. The contents of the two poems are the longing for the benevolent wizard's life in the mountain, but indeed his genuine message are the beauty of Nature, and the disinterested living with Nature. Jisujeong and Eight famous spots in Jisujeong, making the relationships and functions of the poet and the persona clear, result in the harmony or unison with natural phenomena. In these poems we can find out, doing away with his ambitions for success or desires for fame, devoting to Nature, his livings free from worldly life for himself to the end. It seems that Ode on Jisujeong has seven features. Firstly, it has a full length. It represents he is a talented literary man. Secondly, the effects of description are in good use. Thirdly, he uses many difficult historical allusions. Fourthly, not a matter of prestiges, his thoughts and deeds, his words and deeds are kept accord with. Fifthly, the feature of describing his feelings has in common with the former Chinese poems. Sixthly, he reveals that he is a manly man, and performs his own natural disposition. Seventhly, listing the characters he has studied and respected, he presents the orientation of his mind. Kim Deug-ueon is both a scholar and a literary man, living from the mid-sixteenth century to the early days in the seventeenth century. Of his works, there remain six hundred Chinese poems, sixty three sijios(three-verse Korean poem), one lyrics, twenty three Chinese proses. Judging from this we are not supposed to fail to notice his value in korean literary history.
