구곡원림(九曲園林)의 양상과 경북 구곡의 문화사적 의미

Abstract

This study set out to provide specific answers to questions about the existence patterns of Gugokwonrim in Korea, the representative Gugoks of Gyeongbuk, and the meanings of these representative Gugoks of Gyeongbuk in the history of culture. The Gugokwonrim of Korea is divided into the group that followed Zhu Xi's Mui Gugok as it was and the other that did not follow it. The latter exhibited its independence in various ways. The former can be called the regular style, and the latter the irregular style. In Korea, there are diverse forms of the irregular style showing the Korean variations of Zhu Xi studies in a very realistic way. Some of the representative examples of Gugokwonrim in Gyeongbuk include Dosan Gugok of Andong, Muheul Gugok of Seongju, Gosan Chilgok of Andong, and Seonyu Gugok of Mungyeong. These Gugoks boast not only the wonderful beauty and preservation of their landscapes, but also the abundance of related literature. These Gugoks hold significance in the history of culture in the following aspects: showing Neo-Confucian communication between nature and man in the most active way, achieving a sense of unity between scenic spots and literature and between art and architecture in harmony, presenting the various forms of Gugokwonrim's Korean-style acceptance and variation, displaying the collaborative creation of Korean culture based on the layers of cultural accumulation, and creating a cultural space of rest and healing.
