조선시대 ‘문화공간-영남’에 대한 한문학적 독해

Abstract

This study focused on delving into how to read Yeongnam in terms of Chinese literature based on the recognition of the region as a cultural space during the Joseon period. The cultural space of Yeongnam can be mainly divided into natural and artificial space. While natural space was centered around mountains and rivers, artificial space was presented in various components including towns and villages with scenic pavilions playing the representative role. During Joseon, scholars of Yeongnam created climbing and boating culture in those spaces and developed the pavilion culture of the region by building many pavilions including the Yeongnam Pavilion and using the pavilions to give the commandments of Buddhism and hold poetry parties. In Yeongnam, cultural space was usually organized in five ways, which include granting Confucian ideology to natural space, creating Jipgyeong (集景) around artificial space, creating a space of Wayu(臥遊) and self-reflection based on the ideology of Sung-Confucianism, inheriting the culture of cherishing the memories of ancient sages and succeeding their play culture, and commemorating one-time facts in various ways. They were found universally throughout Joseon, but those organization methods of cultural space were especially further manifested in the Yeongnam region. In Yeongnam, the scholars organized cultural space in such various ways and created their fusion life culture centered around literature, paintings, cultivation of the mind, and play.
