德山洞府의 문화지리적 상상력- 「神明舍圖」와 ‘덕산 문화’의 상관성 -

Abstract

This study presented an approach to Deoksandongbu in the aspect of cultural geography, being based on a hypothesis that Sinmyeongsado, which Nammyong published in Sancheongjae, was in a certain functional relation with Deoksandongbu. In the structural aspect, Ipdeokmun serves as a gate to a relationship. Open Deoksandongbu can be a state ruled by Taeiljingun. In the ideological aspect, the Confucian ideals of Yosunilwol meet the Taoist ideals of Mureungdowon. It is the same with the space of Deoksan, where there is Ipdeokmun at the boundary point based on Sinmyeongsado. Once passing through the narrow space called Deokcheonbyeori, the visitor is inside in the huge space. A unique culture was created in the structure of Gwang(廣)-Hyeop (狹)-Gwang(廣). In Deoksan, various stories related to Nammyong have been passed down. In those stories, he would enjoy a luxurious life in Deoksan, live with an unmarried woman that became a snake out of her love for him, give his friend a grave and have it returned after his death, or competed against Toigye in a Taoist magic contest. Those stories have been transmitted broadly among the people in Deoksan and formed an oral culture with a different aspect from the correlations between Sinmyeongsado and Deoksandongbu. The people focused on interest in those Nammyong stories.
