Yi Cho-nyon (1269-1343) was a sijo writer from the Goryeo era. When his criticism of King Chunghye’s hedonistic lifestyle went unheeded, Yi composed the sijo poem “Ihwae wolbaekago” (이화에 월백하고 The Moon Shines Serenely on the White Pear Blossoms), which metaphorically expresses one’s loyalty to one’s king. This poem is considered one of the most accomplished works of literature from among Goryeo-era sijo in terms of technique and expressed perspective.

이조년(1269~1343)은 고려시대 시조작가다. 충혜왕의 방탕함을 비판한 것이 받아들여지지 않자 우의적으로 왕에 대한 지극한 충성심을 드러낸 시조 <이화에 월백하고>를 썼다. 

고려시조 중 표현기법과 정서 면에서 문학성이 가장 뛰어난 작품의 하나로 평가된다.
