This reserch has the signigicance for the study of Tao Yuanming and the literature of Joseon Dynasty. This thesis was mainly used the social histroy methodology,biography methodology, and accepted critique methods, such as esthetics methodology,comparative literature methodology,image study methodology.Tao Yuanming(AD365-AD427) was not solemn and quiet all the time. A kind of passion of contributing to the society ran through his whole life, from his youth, his middle age till his later years. On Tao's youth, because of the war disputes, Tao Yuanming became an offical to realize the ambitioon. However, in his thirteen years of government life, he cannot obtain his understanding from others so that he resign the offical to become an civilian. Since then, Tao Yuanming created more than one hundred and twenty poets,diction,verse and prose. It is the three quarters of works after his resigning from offical life. In his living time, his poetry had not received seriously. Since then, Zhong Rong commented Tao' s poetry on ' the poety'. After ZhongRong' s comments, people have paid more and more attention to the artistic value of Tao's poetry. Chinese ancient literati appreciated Tao's seclusion and alcohol style, and his stubbornly thrift personality.Therefore, not only in China, Tao's poetry in overseas also had the enormaous influence.China and South korea are the friendly nations which is as close as lips and tooth, and have long-term relation to closely connect with each other in the histroy. In such contacts, Tao Yuanming and his works entered to Han Pennisula. Tao's works were introduced mostly to Han Peninsula by Shu Tong's 'Zhao Ming Literary Selections'. In the 'Literary Selections',Tao'literary works were started widely to read aloud in South Korea's national studies.However, in Pre-Koryo Dynasty period, with the implementation of imperial examination system, the'Literary Selections'was as an example of general mood, was gradually disappeared; in the mid-Koryo Dynasty period, ' Deeply loves to TaoYuanming' was not reduced by the passing the' Literary Selections' time, on the contrary, because of ' the Hot of Su Shi',' the hot of Tao Yuanming ' was expanded obviously. By Shu Dongyuo' s works, Koryo literari indireactly accepted Tao Yuan ming, and alsoe closed to the Tao's spiritual and life style; In the pre-Joseon Dynasty of 'the hot of Zhu Xi'formed an honor of Tao and Zhu of literary. When literati researched the innate disposition study, they naturally were contacted by Zhu Xi's literature, that is the Tao's moral behavior, the comments of Tao's poem, and the creation of Tao's influence; In themid-Joseon Dynasty, the development of innate diposition study and the turbulent social works published the largest number of Tao Yuan ming's collections, and give great effects, achieved Tao Yuanming's prosperous time; In the late period of Joseon Dynasty, the innate disposition study was faded gradually. Along with production of the new schools, the Tao Yuanming's images were split up gradually, entering to the Tao yunaming' decline time.Joseon Dynasty period is the important time of accepting Tao Yuanming's works. In this time, literati quoted image and poem in Sijo and Casa of Tao's works to approach to Tao Yuanming's style. The authors of Sijo and Casa in Joseon Dynasty, not only in creation motive were related with Tao Yuanming, but alsohad equally with Tao Yuanming's offical experience. When the poets of Joseon Dynasty were frustrated, or resigned the government position, they usually quoted Tao' s image and poem to their own poetries to comfort themselves. They showed Tao's admiration without any reservation, at the same time, they like to use the metaphor or the simile to showing the meaning, to imitate the form of Tao's works.Joseon Dynasty poets respected Tao Yuanming as noble characters and stering integrity,distinguished and admirablefigures, expanded one-sidely a general mood of Tao's characters, dispelled one positive official of Tao's characters,thedifficulty and contradicitory of Tao's seclusion life to confuse the poet's ture features. Therefore, it has been produced the misunderstanding.The poets of Joseon Dynasty are deeply attracted the images, such as the 'Seclusion life' image, the' WuLing Haven' image, the' Wu Liu' image, the' Jiu' image and so on, showed the joyful and admired feelings for them, and created the same related images in their works.However,those images had changed, which were created by Joseon Dynasty poets. Joseon Dynasty poets has entrusted with new cultural signigicance to those images.Chinese ancient literati set a high value on Tao' s artistic style, so do Joseon Dynasty literati. Joseon Dynasty literature have its own characteristics on the artistic form, were easily accepted Tao's poetry. Joseon Dynasty poets used Tao's poetry of artistic style ' PingDanZiRan' for reference, advocated ' naturally takes its course'. Therefore ,they didn't have a spot artificial trace, it may be said that all the things naturally flows out in the chest. Joseon Dynasty poets used Tao's poetry of artistic style 'Shou Er Shi Yu'for reference, appreciated ' uninteresting' poetry, but their poems were not as dry as dust, while had deep meaning. Namely, the form of poems are dull,but the meaning of them are deep.Tao Yuanming has made an important contribution to exchanging literature in China and South Korean, at the same time, Tao's personality set a great example on korean literati and culture, and pay a positive role on dissemination of Tao yuanming and his poem in Han peninusla.
