曺潤孫이 경영한 晉州 冥鴻亭의 변천과 위치 비정

Abstract

Jo Yun-Son(曺潤孫) was one of the representatives of Jinju(晉州) during the early Joseon Dynasty. He passed the national examination, entered the royal court, was favored by the king, and took on important posts. Around 1520, Jo Yun-son built Myeonghongjeong in Jinju Songgok(松谷), and it was talked about as a symbolic pavilion of Jinju. Kim Geuk-Seong(金克成) praised the beauty of the pavilion through Palyeongsi(八詠詩), and when Jeong Sa-Ryong(鄭士龍) wrote a poem about Myeonghongjeong, celebrities of the time, such as So Se-yang(蘇世讓), Sim Eon-Gwang(沈彦光), and Kim Jeong-Guk(金正國) also wrote. There are various reasons why Jo Yun-son's Myeonghongjeong gained fame. First, it is a personal achievement by Jo Yun-son. Jo Yun-son was active in the central position and was distinguished as a representative figure of Jinju. Second, the value of the pavilion is known through literary works. Eo Deuk-Gang(魚得江) built 「Myeonghongjeongsangryangmun(冥鴻亭上梁文)」" considered the best sangryangmun(上梁文) in later generations. Third, it is the unique beauty of Myeonghongjeong. It is presumed that institutional superiority and the beauty of the landscape contributed to promoting the pavilion. After Jo Yun-Son's death, Myeonghongjeong disappeared, but Ryu Se-Chang(柳世彰) inherited its cultural history. Through dreams, Ryu Se-Chang occupied Myeonghongjeong and opened the space for Munhwa Ryu Clans(文化柳氏). Later, they claimed to be the owners of Myeonghongjeong Ryu Clans(冥鴻亭柳氏). Ryu Jin-Pil(柳震必) called his pen name Hongju(鴻洲) and succeeded to a new history. During the modern transition period, Ryu Clans built a shrine to solidify its status. The current records related to the MyeongHongjeong and Ryu Se-Chang tombs provide essential clues to remembering the location of Myeong Hong-jeong during the Joseon Dynasty.
