조선시대 한성부 東村의 인문경관 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the human landscapes of ‘Dongchon’東村 in Hanseongbu漢城府, and to examine the literary activities of the writers in there in Joseon period. ‘Dongchon’ refers to the village of the foot of Nak-San駱山, the east mountain of Hanyang漢陽. It was close to downtown but still secluded. Since Goryeo, there were many houses of famous families, and it was a thriving place that was full of famous people until the former Joseon period. However, during the Imjin War壬辰倭亂(Japanese Invasion of Joseon in 1592), all the villagers left, and the village was devastated. In the latter Joseon period, in particular, Jeongjo正祖 tried to revive Dongchon in many ways, but it did not show much success, and modern wave came late as modern schools and mission base entered here. The main scenic spots in Dongchon were Heungdeokdong興德洞, Jatgol (Baekdong栢洞), Shindae申臺, Ewhajeong梨花亭, Seokyangru夕陽樓 and Joyangru朝陽樓. In Heungdeokdong, there was Heungdeoksa興德寺 Temple in the early Joseon period. It was called Songdong宋洞 since Song Si-yeol宋時烈 built his house and lived there. Meanwhile, the first foot of Naksan was called ‘Jatgol’ because there were so many pine trees. In the middle of Joseon, Songjeong松亭 was built there, and several literary writers, including Lee Jung-gui, enjoyed there. One of the best places in Dongchon was Shindae申臺(129 Dongsungdong) where Shin Gwang-han's house was located. Shindae had a lot of visitors because of its beautiful scenery. Not far from Sindae, there was a pavilion called Ewhajeong(2 Ewhadong). Ewhajeong was named by Kang Hee-an姜希顏 when Sungjong成宗 bought Choi's house and gave it to Kim Il-son. In the late Joseon, Hyomyeongseja孝明世子 especially liked here, so he visited this place several times and wrote poems. As the name implies, the pear blossoms were worth seeing here, but as the modern age came, the pavilion disappeared and Lee Seung-man’s villa was built here. Near Ewhajeong, there was the Seokyangru夕陽樓(27 Ewhadong), which had been known as the most gorgeous house in Hanyang for centuries. Seokyangru was a representative pavilion of the Daegung大宮 of Inpyeong daegun麟坪大君, Hyojong's brother. He liked people and party, so the tremendous parties were often held here. We can see the situation through Nam Gong-cheol南公轍's “Seokyangrugi 夕陽樓記”. However, Daegung大宮, where the Seokyangru was located, fell down after the death of Inpyeong daegun. Since then, Daegung was replaced by Jangsaengjeon長生殿. Inpyeongdaegun was famous for his brotherhood with his brother Hyojong. Hyojong’s house was called 'Eoigung'於義宮 and the name 'Eoidong' came from 'Eoigung'. Hyojong and Inpyeongdaegun communicated with each other between Choyangru and Seokyangru. If the representative building of Inpyeongdaegun's house, Daegung, was Seokyangru, the representative building of Hyojong’s 'Eoigung' was Choyangru. In this paper, I explained why Seokyangru and Choyangru got such a name in consideration of the topography and the origin of the name. Choyangru, like Seokyangru, was a middle-level pavilion, and it had been preserved until modern times. But they disappeared without any trace in the 1960s and 1950s. This paper specifically defines the locations of major scenic spots in Dongchon, and points out the characteristics of the scenic spots and major literary activities centered on the scenic spots. Although there were some studies on Dongchon, there was a lack of research that revealed the geopolitical features and the specific locations of scenic spots of Dongchon. I hope this paper could serve as the basis for studying literature related to Dongchon.
