18세기 용산강(龍山江) 일대의 유상지(遊賞地)와 시회(詩會)

Abstract

This study aims to introduce the sightseeing place (遊賞地) built around the Yongsan river, and clarify the characteristics of the literati as a social association space in the 18th century. The target places include Eupcheongru (挹淸樓) Saga (四家; 4 masters) frequently visited during the period of King Yongjo (英祖朝) who represented Noron in the 18th century, and Yongsan Lee's family (李氏) Wonrim (園林) and Hwanwoljeong (喚月亭) which Chae Je‐gong (蔡濟恭) and Geunki Namin (the Southerners close to the capital) were sightseeing in. Yongsan river refers to Han river flowing in Yongsan and Noryangjin areas. There were many sightseeing places (遊賞地) in the Yongsan river area, and the literati, who visited there, relieved the frustration of living in a walled city by enjoying the refined pursuits in places not far from the capital city. Saga (四家) during the period of King Yongjo (英祖朝) wrote poems while traveling around Yongsan river and Eupcheongru several times. They valued the secrets of nature (天機) in poems, and even when writing poems, they tried to create them naturally without any traces of effort. Scenic beauties at Eupcheongru provided them with a natural space of writing poems (作詩), allowing them to create poems that match their poetics. Eupcheongru was a space of social association for Saga (四家) during the period of King Yongjo (英祖朝), and a space where beautiful literary art (文藝美) could be emitted. Chae Je‐gong and Geunki Namin (the Southerners close to the capital) composed poems and made social associations while looking for sightseeing places close to the capital city. Among them, they often visited Yongsan Lee’s family Wonrim and Hwanwoljeong. Although they enjoyed a separate atmosphere in the social association space, it was characterized that they did not show an attitude of deviation. The poetry club space was used as a place to enjoy the refined pursuits and as a space to share their own culture and knowledge, strengthening the bond. As such, the places around Yongsan river, which were actively utilized as the poetry club space of the literati in the 18th century, can be said to be spaces where their taste for literature was expanded and communicated.
