Jeong Po, a scholar of the late Goryeo Dynasty, captures a moment of transition—moving from a sudden storm to the discovery of a safe haven. This poem is a beautiful metaphor for how we navigate the sudden "rains" of life and find our way home.

강 입구
At the Mouth of the River
◆Gang-gu (강구 / 江口): The mouth of a river, where the freshwater meets the sea. It represents a place of transition and broad horizons.

移舟逢急雨
옮길이 배주 만날봉 급할급 비우
배(를) 옮기다 급한 비(를) 만나
Moving my boat, I was caught in a sudden downpour,
◆Gip-u (급우 / 急雨): A "sudden rain" or a squall. In poetry, this often symbolizes unexpected hardships or crises in life.
倚棹望歸雲
기댈의 노도 바라볼망 돌아갈귀 구름운(중국음yún)
노(에) 기대 돌아가는 구름(을) 보네.
So I leaned on my oar and watched the returning clouds.
◆Ui-jo (의도 / 倚棹): To lean on one’s oar. This gesture signifies a moment of pause and calm reflection amidst a busy or difficult journey.
◆Gwi-un (귀운 / 歸雲): "Returning clouds." These are clouds moving back to their origin (the mountains), symbolizing a return to peace and stability.
海闊疑無地
바다해 넓을활 의심할의 없을무 땅지
바다 넓어 땅(이) 없을까 의심되더니
The sea was so vast, I doubted there was any land left,
◆Hae-hwal (해활 / 海闊): The vastness of the sea. It describes a moment of feeling overwhelmed by the scale of the world.
山明喜有村
산산 밝을명 기쁠희 있을유 마을촌(중국음cūn)

But as the mountains cleared, I rejoiced to find a village.
◆San-myeong (산명 / 山明): "The mountains brightening." This refers to the sunlight breaking through after the rain, symbolizing hope and clarity.

🌿 Background & Context: The Wisdom of the Pause

Jeong Po was a traveler and a scholar who lived during a turbulent time. In this poem, he is out on the water when a storm hits. Instead of panicking or rowing frantically, he simply stops and leans on his oar. By observing the "returning clouds," he finds his inner center. This calm allows him to see the landscape change from a terrifyingly endless sea to a welcoming village.

💡 Commentary: Hope After the Storm

1. Composure in Crisis The first half of the poem teaches us composure. When "sudden rain" hits our lives, our instinct is to rush. But the poet shows us the wisdom of "leaning on the oar"—taking a breath and observing the situation until the clouds begin to return.

2. From Doubt to Joy The sea was so vast that it felt like the land had disappeared (doubt). This mirrors how we feel when a problem seems too big to solve. But nature always shifts. The "brightening mountains" reveal a village (joy), reminding us that shelter and solutions are often just beyond the mist.

3. The Beauty of Perspective This poem is highly cinematic. It moves from the close-up (the oar) to the distant (the clouds), and from the vast (the sea) to the specific (the village). For your viewers, this highlights the Korean poetic tradition of finding spiritual lessons in the rhythm of the natural world.
