한국의 「소쇄원」과 자연미의 지향점 -「돌의 정원」과 「졸정원」과의 비교의 관점에서 = ‘Sosoewon’ in Korea and the Aesthetic of Nature

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

I happened to visit 'The Garden of Stone' in Japan and 'Jolchungwon' in Soju, China. Some years later, I visited 'Sosoewon' in Changsung, Chollado province. I did not mean to visit there for some academic purposes from the outset.
Later on, it occurred to me that the three gardens respectively show their own cultural characteristics of the countries. Though small and simple, 'Sosoewon' made in early 16th century seems to be regarded as a famous site representing the aesthetic characteristics of Koreans as well as the tradition of Korean 'Sonbi' culture.
This paper did not aim at the elaborate analysis or argumentation, since it was not attempted on the academic purpose at the outset. However, the advantage of this paper may be said that it was written on the basis of the writer's actual visit to the three gardens.
In conclusion, Chinese 'Jolchungwon' can be said to be made by an enormous engineering work in an attempt to make nature its own by bringing nature into its own garden. On the contrary, Korean 'Sosoewon,' as a part of nature, can be called a space of communication by becoming one with nature. This is a great difference between the Chinese and Korean gardens. On the other hand, whereas Japanese 'The Garden of Stone,' is a dry space to arouse a Zen meditation in a space where the sacred is cut off from the secular, Korean 'Sosoewon' can be called an open space for communication where any visitors are received with a warm welcome. This is also a great difference between the Japanese and Korean gardens. Korean sense of beauty deeply immersed in Taoism focuses on the unification of humans and nature, pursuing the natural beauty of life instead of the artificial landscape of annihilation found in the Japanese sense of beauty. As a result, regarding water, which informs the circulation of nature, as a living thing, this paper discusses the wisdom of our ancestors who made a wonderful space, 'Sosoewon,' in the center of which flows a mountain stream.
