A Comparative Study of the Features of Reclusive Design in China's Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and Korea's Yunjeong Gotaek

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: The classical gardens of China and South Korea, rich in traditional cultural
connotations, provide a respite from the emptiness and anxiety brought by modern society. This is
closely tied to the involvement of scholarly hermits, who represented the learned and morally
cultivated class in the ancient garden constructions of both countries. Studying the spatial
characteristics of these hermitage gardens is important for modern spatial design. Purpose：This
research compares representative residential hermitage gardens in China and South Korea - the
Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yin Zheng Ancient Residence. It identifies the similarities
and differences in their spatial features and the reasons behind these variations.It also explores the
potential applications of these characteristics in contemporary spatial design. Methods: The study
begins with a literature review to define the concept of hermitage gardens. It then proceeds with
on-site and documentary research of the Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yunjeong Gotaek,
analyzing and comparing the spatial attributes of these two gardens. Results: Both gardens reflect
the hermitage philosophies of "Moderate Reclusion" and "Confucian Hermitage," chosen for their
locations in scenic, tranquil, and harmonious settings. However, their relationships with urban
areas differ; both prioritize the creation of spaces that are secluded yet connected. Conclusion:
Analyzing and comparing their reclusive cultural characteristics deepens and refines the
understanding of Chinese garden art theory and hermit culture. It also provides a theoretical
foundation for further exploring their revitalization and promoting creative transformation and
innovative development in Eastern classical garden art.
