白雲精舍에 투영된 공간인식 변모양상

Abstract

This study tracked the history and records of Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍) located in Baegun-dong(白雲洞) in Danseong-myeon, Sancheong -gun, South Gyeongsang Province, and investigated the perception projected onto that space and the significance in the aspects of changes. Baegun-dong(白雲洞) is known as the area Nammyung Josik (南冥 曺植, 1501-1572) visited three times seeking solitude. In the late 19th century, seemingly as a trend, Confucian scholars nearby would seek the place to pay respect to Nammyung(南冥)’s spirit. Known as the three lords of Baegun-dong(白雲洞), Usan Hanyu (愚山 韓愉, 1868-1911), Damsan Ha Woosik (澹山 河祐植, 1875-1943), and Gyeje Jeong Jaeyoung (溪齋 鄭濟鎔, 1865-1907) visited Baegun-dong(白雲洞) with the intention of building the Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍). This was an expressed intention to not only continue the legacy of Nammyung(南冥)’s spirit by finding its ruins, a sacred area, and construct the academies, but also to raise the methods of Confucianism through lectures in an era filled with such confusion. Despite their will, the intentions were not fulfilled in their era, but the academies was completed by Hanyu(韓愉)’s descendants and the students of the school of Ganjae(艮齋). The motive behind building Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍) was to mourn and remember Hanyu(韓愉). For such purpose, the students had to connect with Hanyu(韓愉)’s last teacher, and be acknowledged by a writer of Jeonwu(田愚), a widely recognized scholar of the old doctrine. Specifically, they received “The Record of Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍)” from Jeonwu(田愚), and an article on the Academies from Suknog Oh Jingyoung (石農 吳震泳, 1868-1944) and Gimjae Choi Byungsim (欽齋 崔秉心, 1874-1957), the main writers of Jeonwu(田愚). These steps allowed Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍) Acad- emies to be validated by the Ganjae(艮齋) school of studies, leading to it becoming the representative base of their scholars of the Gangwu(江右) area. The scholars of Confucianism from Baegun- jungsa(白雲精舍) Academies carved wooden blocks to print the “Nammueongsindo Epitaph(南冥神道碑銘),” authored by Jeonwu (田愚) and written by Song Siyeol(宋時烈), and also created a space of remembrance by displaying portraits of Jeonwu and Hanyu(韓愉). This is how the Ganjae school(艮齋學派), which had minimum contact history with Nammyung(南冥), came to occupy the Academies; scholars of the Namin stopped showing interest in the historical sites of Nammyung(南冥) after 1926. Unlike its initial purpose to serve as a place to succeed Nammyung’s studies(南冥學), Baegunjungsa(白雲精舍) academies has become a place for Ganjae’s studies(艮齋學) to maintain Confucianism, and to remember their teachers and those before them.
