The Nakdong River serves as the boundary between this world and nirvana and also functions as a means of communication between the two. The geography society and history society have so far understood the river solely in the sense of boundary. Raising certain issues with the practice, this study focused on the communicative functions of the river along with its roles as a boundary and interpreted them in a literary sense. It was an attempt to secure the significance of the river in the cultural history by making an approach at a new angle. The Nakdong River enabled communication between nature and man and also communication between men. Communication among people took place between Giho and Yeongnam and also between the left and right parts within the Yeongnam Province. The communication would further expand overseas in the nation`s relations with Japan. There were three major types of spatial sensibility that played important roles in it: romantic sensibility, moralistic sensibility, and social sensibility. Of them, social sensibility emerges in the absence of communication and is thus noteworthy.
