盤龜書院 建立과 盤龜臺 象徵化에 대한 小考

Abstract

In 1702, yurim (Confucian scholars) including Kim Ji in Eonyang prepared the base of Bangudae Symbolic drawings. In 1712, they founded Banguseowon enshrining three wise men (Poeun, Hweje, and Hangang) related with Bangudae, and, in 1713, the next year, enshrined mortuary tablets of the three wise men. And, in the same period of time, Jipcheongjung was constructed, and Bangudae symbolic drawings became famous, attracting increasing number of Confucian scholars. In particular, scholars living in Yangdong visited Banguseowon to pay respect to Hweje, their ancestor, and for dotongyeonwon, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery around it. Bangudae and its surroundings are still popular for its beauty and because Poeun is enshrined. Yurim of Eonyang, triggered by the fact that yurim in Wulsan had founded Gugangseowon and received the hanging board of it from the king, wanted to found a seowon to develop Eonyang and secure their status. To found the seowon, they arbitrarily connected the relationship between the three wise men and Bangudae. When the seowon was founded, Bangudae became famous. With the construction of Jipcheongjung, Bangudae became a famous spot in Eonyang. The willingness of them to connect Eonyang and Bangudae even by linking Poeun and Bangudae was derived from pure but contradictory intention of yurim of Eonyang. We need to understand their actions as a collective behavior motivated by the linkage of the local scholar group and survival of status of family statuses.
