조선시대 부안 유람 기록에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

This study examined the development pattern of excursions in Buan at the time by collecting and analyzing the excursion records of Buan during the Joseon Dynasty and elucidated the fact and significance of the premodern scenic spots in the Buan region based on the literature of the times. First of all, the precedent studies related to the excursions in Buan were thoroughly investigated on a full scale. As a result of the investigation, it is a fact that no study among many precedent studies has analyzed the literature of the times to reconsider the status of various scenic spots in Buan. In that regard, this study intended to reconsider the value of scenic spots in Buan by analyzing the literature materials related to excursions in the Buan region during the Joseon Dynasty. To that end, the reliability of the study was first improved by reviewing the literature materials employed in the precedent studies. In addition, 5 excursion records of Buan, which were not identified thus far, were newly discovered, thereby resulting in deriving a total of 16 excursion records in Buan. This study defined the development pattern of the excursion records in Buan and the characteristics of each era through the 16 records. All these literature materials embodied each scenic spot variously using detailed descriptions and literary touches and depicted the real shapes of scenic spots in Buan colorfully. Next, the study analyzed the collected excursion records of Buan, thereby examining the real shapes and significance of the scenic spots in Buan. Kim Si-Seup whose pen name is Maewoldang partly played a certain role in making the excursion spots of Buan known. After Lee Jeong-Gwi's excursion, Buan became on the rise as a representative scenic spot in the Honam area. The humanistic values of Buan were established by literary figures embodying the excursion spots and have been on everyone’s lips through comparison and quality. The scenic spots in Buan were perceived not only as places of entertainment typically but also as spaces for transcendence of the reality occasionally. In reaching the 19th century, Buan was called “Sobongrae” and made its fame throughout the country as well as in the Honam area. As with this, it is possible to know that both the humanistic and historic values of Buan have been established through the excursions and records by the literary figures of the times. As a result, it has reached that the areas of Chaeseokgang River and Jeokbyeokgang River, Jigso Falls area, and Ugeumbawi Rock area in Buan have been designated as scenic spots. It was possible to confirm that Jigso Falls hardened its status as a scenic spot by competing for superiority and inferiority with the Park Yeon Falls in Songdo which is one of the three major falls in Korea as well as with the Falls in Lushan Mountain of China that appeared in a poem by LI Po (李白). Moreover, in the vicinity of Ugeumbawi Rock, the value as a scenic spot became solidified through the excursions by Kang Se-Hwang and his son, Kang Heun, in the 18th century and the creative work of a real-view landscape painting titled <Buan Yuram Do Gwon>. The excursion records mentioned thus far are worth being fully utilized as a cultural resource for local places. However, it is the current situation that the utilization of those materials is a challenge due to insufficient research based on literature materials. It is hoped that this study would help elucidate the value of scenic spots in the Buan region and develop the cultural tourism contents that require historical knowledge and understanding of regions based on literature records.
