This study aims to examine one aspect of cultural life in Hyangchon Salim(ancient country village in Korea) through the Gasa enjoyed mainly in Jeong. The Gasa was created and enjoyed by Salim(learned men in early Chosun dynasty) in the 16th century in the Hyangchon. But the dichotomous structure that separates the political realty from nature in the existing study may not correctly recognize the reality of cultural life in Hyangchon society. The dichotomous structure of political reality and nature come to the to question in that Hyangchon was a space separated from the center and Salim manages their own cultural life. To solve this problem, this study aims to identify the aspects of cultural life by Hyangchon Salim focusing on Jeong through Gasa <Myeonang Jeongga> and <Seongsan Byeolgok>.
