황시간에 대한 연구는 아직 학계에 소개된 바 없다. 따라서 본고에서의 그의 생애와 교유관계, 그리고 시에 대한 일부분을 소개하고자 한다. 황시간은 상주(현 문경) 출신의 인물로, 방村 黃喜의 7세손이다. 장수황씨가 상주 대도리에 정착한 이후 황시간에 이르러 굳건한 자리매김을 한다. 특히 그는 시에 일장을 보였는데, 당시 사람들은 우복 정경세의 부와 함께 ``黃詩鄭賦``라 병칭되었다. 또한 그는 蒼石 李埈, 愚伏 鄭經世, 沙西 全湜과 함께 商山四老로 일컬어졌다. 이 외에 교유한 인물로는 月澗 李□, 月峯 高仁繼, 泰村 高尙顔 등이 있다. 황시간은 전원적, 은일적 삶을 추구한 인물이다. 비록 67세의 만년에 벼슬길에 올라 형조정랑의 벼슬을 지내기도 하였으나, 이는 선비라면 누구나 한번 쯤 조정에 나아가 자신의 정치적 이상을 펼쳐보려는 욕구에서 비롯된 것이지, 삶의 궁극적 목표는 아니었다. 그래서 그는 삼가현감을 마지막으로 5년간의 벼슬살이를 마감하고 결국 전원의 보금자리를 찾게 된다. 이런 그의 족적을 바탕으로 본고에서는 그의 시를 크게 네 가지로 분류하여 고찰하였다. 첫째, 부귀명예를 추구하지 않고 가난을 편안히 여기면서 만족할 줄 아는 安貧守道의 삶을 추적해 보았다. 둘째, 그는 역사의 최대 혼란기였던 壬亂과 丙亂을 모두 체험하였다. 이때의 애한을 사실적이며 생동감 있게 그리고 있다. 셋째, 황시간은 벼슬에 대한 갈망이 내재된 그였기에 추천의 의한 벼슬을 마다하지 않고 벼슬길에 올랐다. 그러나 5년간의 관직생활에서의 지향점이자 목표는 고향으로의 회귀였다. 이때의 심정을 노래한 작품을 중심으로 규명해 보았다. 마지막으로 그가 전원으로 돌아온 이후에 새롭게 맛보는 흥취를 추적해 보았다.

The study on Hwang Si-gan has not been reported to the academia yet. Thus, this paper introduces his life, and companionship, also a part of his poems. Hwang Si-gan was from Sangju (present Mungyeong), and was the seventh generation of Hwang Hui(黃喜), whose honored name is Bang Chon (방村). Since after Jangsu Hwang`s clan settled down in Daedor-ri, Sangju, the clan members firmly positioned at the town by the time of Hwang Si-gan. In particular, he showed his talent in writing poems, and the people in those days classed him with Jeong Gyeong-se, also known as his pen name, Ubok, as two greatest poets: Hwang had a distinguished talent in writing poems and Jeong in writing rhythm prose(黃詩鄭賦, pronounced "Hwangsi, Jeongbu"). Also, Hwang Si-gan was called a member of ``Sangsan Sano`` (商山四老, Four sages in the Mountain, Sangsan) together with Lee Jun(李埈), also known as pen name, Changseok(蒼石); Jeong Gyeong-se (鄭經世), aka Ubok(愚伏); and Jeon Sik (全湜), aka Saseo (沙西). In addition to them, he used to associate with Lee Jeon (李□), aka Wolgan(月澗); Go In-gye (高仁繼), aka Wolbong (月峯), and Go Sang-an(高尙顔), aka Taechon (泰村). Hwang Si-gan was a person who pursued pastoral and secluded life. Even though he entered the government service in his later years, at the age of 67, and promoted to Hyeongjo Jeongnang (刑曹 正郞, a section chief of the Ministry of Punishments), his career in the government post merely resulted from a scholar`s desire to join the conference in the royal court to follow his political ideals, which was usually grown from the classical scholars in those days, his government position was not the ultimate goal of his life. So, he ended his career as government official for five years by quitting the magistrate post of Samga county in the last place, and, eventually, he returned to his home where he could enjoy his pastoral life. Based on his traces as such, this paper investigated his poems by dividing it largely into four categories. First, the paper traced such lifestyle as; not seeking the wealth and honors, but live at your ease even under the state of being poor knowing how to satisfy yourself, in short, Anbinsudo(安貧守道, in literal sense, satisfying with what you have and keeping focused on the righteous path) Second, he had experienced both Japanese invasion of 1592 and the Manchu war of 1636, so then he depicted such hard life in his poems, joy and sorrow, during the years of war in a realistic and vivid manner. Third, Hwang Si-gan had a desire to serve as a government official, so that he entered the government service following the recommendation. Meanwhile, however, the point of his public service career for five years and the goal thereof was returning home. This paper studied his works with a focus on the poems that expressed his feeling and heart in those moments. Lastly, the paper analyzed his life after returning hometown, which he was yearning for even in his dreams, through his poetic pieces
