李迨(1483～1536)의 月淵亭 別墅 經營과 理想鄕

Abstract

This research was to inquire into an ideal world he seek after through an inquiry of Wolyoun-jung Byelseo(月淵亭 別墅) by a Wolyoun Lee-tae(李迨, 1483～1536) as a Confucian Scholar retired to hermitage in 16th century. The way of studying was to consider centering the literatures of a collection of Wolyoun' works and Wolyoun-jung(月淵亭) survey which compiled the records of friends who Lee-tae kept company with and of his descendents, and was proceeded by things like drawings, field investigation, interviews and so forth. As the result a conclusion as follows was drawn out. Lee-tae entered government service two times and quitted three times in his life. He went into government when a condition he could realize his ideal was given but when righteous government was hard to realize he wanted to retire and live a life to stroll about in nature. The background he retired to hermitage to run Wolyoun-jung was because he was shocked by Joguangjo(趙光祖)'s death by gimyosahwa(己卯士禍, 1519) and news of his close colleagues' homecoming and discharge, which made him live with turning a blind eye to telling right from wrong about the world. In 15 years of Joongjong(1520)'s rule, the next year he predicted gimyosahwa and went down into the country, he came to run Byelseo on a hill of Wolyoun-jung where east Milyang stream and north Milyang stream are reunited together. Especially, he recognized it as a space to understand provision of the universe and said that a life to live strolling about in nature was a life by virtuous justification. When we see scenic distinctive quality of the time appearing in Milyangsibigyungdo(密陽十二景圖) known as being drawn in 1566, we can see that Wolyoun-jung was built up of 5 thatched cottages separated from the main building of a house and surrounded with a grove of bamboos. Also we can see its both sides have dae(臺) built up with rocks. For convenience' sake, its whole area can be sectioned into an outer garden of a palace and inner one. Outer one can be sectioned into spaces like jooko(竹塢), a bamboo grove, lacebark pine(Pinus bungeana) which he planted himself and hangdan(杏亶), and Jordae(垂釣臺) where he fished in, Yeongwolgan(迎月澗), Ssangchung bridge(雙淸橋), Tackjokarm(濯足巖), Wolyounygongdae(翰林李公臺), geeam(妓巖). Inner one can be sectioned Ssanggyungdang(雙鏡堂)g and Wolyoundae(月淵臺). Ssanggyungdang was used as a living space for his rest, reading and lecture, and as a space for his friends who he kept company with to visit and stay. As Wolyoundae where was the highest place in Wolyoun-jung was a space to experience the spirit of endurance and knowledge and to complete principle of the heavens and the earth, it was used as a space for training body and spirit and at the same time a space taking a stroll to complete nature. Ssangchung bridge which connects Ssanggyungdang and Wolyoundae can be said to have a meaning as a bridge through an Ideal world. Finally, Joseon Dynasty scholars ideal world wouldn't be pursuing an admiring space for seeing a beautiful scene. To comprehend principle of nature and to fulfill the beauty of source to follow scholar's morality, scholar's proper duty, that is the royal road politics, is Joseon Dynasty scholars' purpose and at the same time Ideal world.
