This paper studies Uam`s attitude of study and sense of obligation in Uam Song Si-yel`s Sumieum(首尾吟): which consists of 134 through-composed poems. Quantitatively Sumieum made up great part of whole Uam`s poems, and to be sure these works are the most important work of Uam`s Chinese poetry. These works made a new departure of moral philosophy poetry and then brought forth various masters` poems which used Sumieum`s rhyme. 134 through-composed poems had the whole that pointed to the totality of Uam`s thought only once. Uam hated taste for poetry dealing with the wind and the moon. In sentiment-centered point of view, taste for poetry never intrude into poetry. Which seemed to lack of taste. However he didn`t neglect writing poetry. It is interesting that he especially used rhyme of So Ong`s, a poet of the Song Dynasty, poetry. He didn`t like So Ong`s poetry but he was immersed in So Ong`s poetry at a place of exile late in his life. In addition to these works, he wrote lots of poems using rhyme of So Ong`s poetry. So Ong wrote a literary style of Sumieum for the first time. After him, many moralists used this literary style because they wanted to express their philosophical ideal. Formally contents in the first line of verse was repeated at the last line of verse, and the second line of verse was standardized in a poem. This hard method has several restriction. However, unlike other writers` poems, Uam had through-composed consciousness through whole 134 poems. He extended marvellous constitution looking for his study and life, transmission of morality vein and history of generations in diachronic point of view. So to speak, he originally went on to the planning theme at each paragraph and showed form of the whole works which consisted of each parts. The first peculiarities of these poems are centralization of the theme intensified through-composed feature and emphasized argument. The second peculiarity is mopping up works of Uam`s thought consisted of his scholarship, historical consciousness, his impressions of a book and Gawnmulron; thought of things. Also this peculiarity offered very important information that we can examine entire conception of Uam`s thought. Finally these poems had effect on similar works of future generations. In conclusion, these poems were flat in literary but they were the whole of Uam`s thought that had marvellous constitution spread Song Si-yel`s mind like a panorama.
