Abstract

Utopia means ‘the space which does not exist in reality space’. Even if people live in the real world, they have dream of utopia. Although they are apparently aware of the fact that it does not exist, they have their earnest desire for the utopia. This earnest desire must reconstruct the utopia as an ideal place. Many people have made lots of utopia through all times and places. They have created the ideal place which they long for. However, a lot of similarities existed as much as the differences did. These reasons are following: the difference in recognition on utopia of the principals who created the utopia and the methodology to meet the needs of contacts between utopia and real world depending on the development of human awareness. These generalizations had always existed through all times and places and of course was the most commonly used for intellectuals in Joseon Dynasty. In this paper, we would like to investigate a glimpse of utopia that intellectuals in Joseon Dynasty were longing for. In order to achieve the goal, the object of utopia, the holy mountain, that Songkang pursued has been discussed through his literary works. In addition, the meaning of crane was examined as a vehicle to escape into the utopia. As a result, it was shown that a crane was a vehicle to connect between the real space and the utopia and to help the transformation into the holy men, Taoist hermit with miraculous powers. The intellectuals in Joseon Dynasty created their own utopia through the setting of utopia via reestablishment of experience and a vehicle to help the escape into the utopia. But the utopia that the intellectuals in Joseon Dynasty longed for always existed in their own idea and what they pursued in the real world was the ideal society to constrain the denial of the reality based on kingship politics.
