18세기 堤川 義林池의 樓亭文化

Abstract

The Uirimji located in Jecheon of Chungcheonbuk-do(忠北) is the best reservoir in terms of conserving the prototype of Korean farming culture. Meanwhile, Uirimji is also a typical example of a lake-reservoir(湖池), which has both functions of a lake and a reservoir. This article is directly related to the spaces in Uirimho Lake(義林湖), which is the lake aspect of Uirimji. In fact, Uirimji already had become a famous tour spot in 18th century attracting numerous tourists. Together with this trend, various tall buildings and gazebos began to appear around Uirimho Lake. Most tall buildings and gazebos built at Uirimho Lake have the characteristics of pursuing modest tall building and gazebo culture by viewing and appreciating beautiful landscape. On the other hand, the tall buildings and gazebos at Uirimho Lake did not have the function of a cradle for poetry and song literature. Among them, Jinseob-heon Building(振屧軒) and Uirim-jeong Gazebo(義林亭) are notable by having the tales of Uirimji construction in them. In addition, Daesong-jeong Gazebo(大松亭) and Imso-jeong Gazebo(臨沼亭) have special meaning by being linked to the literary works of Kim I-man(金履萬). The location of Hongryu-jeong Gazebo(紅流亭) and Gyeongho-lu Building(鏡湖樓) are most favored locations for the construction of tall buildings and gazebos.
