동궐(東闕) 추경원(秋景苑)의 조영과 변천에 관한 고찰

Abstract

This study empirically investigated the construction and aspects of change in Chugyeongwon, which is locatedin Donggweol (東闕). In detail, this study investigated the location of the construction and range of Chugyeongwon,the background and intention of the construction, and the affiliated system and aspects of spatial changes of it. Theresearch results can be summarized as follows:First, Chugyeongwon has been assumed to be the space near Haminjeong (涵仁亭) or between Simindang (時敏堂) and Jinsudang (進修堂) in Changgyeonggung Palace. However, according to related historical materials, it is saidthat Chugyeongwon was located west of Dochongbu (都摠府) in Hyeopsangmun (協祥門) and near Sungmundang(崇文堂). Through Donggweoldohyeong (東闕圖形), evidence of the construction of Chugyeongwon can be found,which verifies such claims. According to The Plan of Changgyeonggung Palace (昌慶宮配置圖), in the form ofmodern measured drawing, Chugyeongwon today is the green space created in the south of Munjeongjeon (文政殿)and Sungmundang in Changgyeonggung Palace. Second, According to Donggweoldo (東闕圖), Chugyeongwon was a green space where trees grew on theground within the walls. No artificial facilities were constructed inside. In addition, Chugyeongwon was located ata site with an altitude higher than the surroundings. Especially, the composition forms and location characteristicsof Chugyeongwon are similar to those of the Palace Outer Garden located in Hanyang. Thus, based on thisevidence about the form and other aspects of the operation of the Palace Outer Garden, it can be inferred thatChugyeongwon was constructed for the preservation and cultivation of the geographical features inside Donggweol. Third, in the late Joseon period, Chugyeongwon was assigned to Changdeokgung Palace or ChanggyeonggungPalace in the same manner as was Donggung (東宮). Thus, it is very likely that Chugyeongwon served as a garden forthe Royal Family in the Donggung area. The west boundary of Chugyeongwon, which originally consisted of wallsand a side gate, was changed into the form in which the walls and colonnades were combined. Chugyeongwon hasbeen modified due to various acts of development since the Japanese colonial era, and in the end, it has disappearedso that no trace can be found.
