The purpose of this study is to show Da-seuck(다석) and his Sip those were never introduced to the academic world of Korean literature yet. Daseuck who kept company with Yook-dang(육당) and Chun-won(춘원) was a great philosopher of religion. He had ranged over world wide philosophy and founded his own angle of view to God. He had written diary in which many Sijo Poems more than 2,200 were written for 20 years from 1955 to 1974. The special features of his Sijo and the historical meanings are: First, Daseuck had written the most numerous Sijo Poems in number. Second, one of the special features of his Sijo is that most of his Sijo Poems contains his own ideas of God that is caused by his religious belief and his angle of view to Sijo. Third, his poetic words are too difficult to understand because he had used Korean old language that he understand them peculiarly.
