大觀臺 緣起 ―李楨과 曺植의 관계를 중심으로―

Abstract

This is a bibliographical study on the history of Daegwan-dae, the relic of Lee Jeong in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnamdo province. As the place has deep relationships with the last years of Lee Jeong and Jo Shik, this paper also discusses this issue. The neighborhood of Guam-ri is the place where Lee was born and his family had lived for three generations. The name Daegwan-dae does not appear in Lee's writings, but it always appears as Jeonggwan-dae in the collection of his works. Jeonggwan-dae was not only a pavilion to appreciate the scenery around but also served as Lee's study. Daegwan-dae is the name that Lee Hwang changed it to for him later. It is said that Lee, in his last years, built Guam-jeongsa in his native place and spent the life of a scholar with his disciples, refusing the government posts. But before that, he had promised to Jo Shik to go into Mt. Jiri and live with Jo, and he actually built a tile-roofed house near Sancheon-jae in 1661. The breach of friendship between the two by the case of Ha Jongak's second wife occurred in their latest years and its psychological shock was great for each. It is not clear that Lee really made up his mind to quit his official career and go into Mt. Giri to live with Jo, but it was, at least, after the end of the friendship with Jo that he arranged to build Guam-jeongsa on his native place. Gugae-seowon today is succeeding Guam-jeongsa. The so-called schoolhouse was a small structure which had been built instead of Gugae-seowon after its demolition. Therefore, it is a nonsense that it is to be considered today as the site of Guam-jeongsa.
