The purpose of this paper is to find classical novel space exploration methods that help understanding classical novels by experiencing space of works. A space is shaped in various ways through the author 's conscious experience or experience, and images of the actualized life are imaged through the works. And a Space is the foundation on which we can infer the perception of the lives and historical events of humans who have lived at a certain time. In this respect, the space exploration allows us to understand how the space of the author influenced the formation of the work, how the author's experience space was embodied in the work, and to form a consensus to understand the work. However, because the space of classical literature is often damaged or disappeared, there are many difficulties to explore. Addition, since the space of classical novels is seen to cross the boundaries of geographical geography, human geography, and imaginary geography, research on spatial exploration has never been done. This paper presents a method for exploring space in classical novels based on the research methods of space in classical literature and my researches for exploring and understanding everyday life. In this paper, we propose collecting various information related to space using the concept of archives. Understand the historical and social background of the work based on the information archived according to the main text. Then, focusing on the interrelation between space and literary works, I proposed a method of constructing a narrative that grasps the meanings shaped in the works. Based on these methods, In this paper, we present the practical possibility of exploring <Un-yeong-jeon>, <An-bing–mong-yu-rok>, and <Sim-saeng-jeon>. The space exploration of <Un-yeong-jeon> is centered on Suseongdong Valley. The space exploration of <An-bing–mong-yu-rok> is located near Ehwa-jang, which is estimated to be the present location of the creation space of the work. The space exploration of <Sim-saeng-jeon> is set up from Cheonggyecheon to Sogong-dong. Since the concept or method of classical novel space exploration has not been established, there are still a lot of problems to be solved in this paper because there are many missing points. However, the research method of this paper is aimed at understanding the conditions of the formation of classical novels. Therefore, I expect that the empirical and experiential method of exploration will be an opportunity to amplify the interest in classical novels.
