This article addresses 'Jeokbyeok literature in Mt. Mudeung area' as 'the literary space'. 'Jeokbyeok' refers to the representative literary space in East Asia. A number of 'Jeokbyeok' remain in China, Korea and Japan. In the past, special literary spaces such as Nujeong(樓亭) and Wonrim(園林) had been built in sites of scenic beauty. It is reported that many Nujeong had been built in Dongbokhyeon(同福縣) which was in the same location of Jeokbyeok in Mt. Mudeung area. The literary works regarding natural space of Jeokbyeok and Nujeong such as Mulyeomjeong(勿染亭) are generally called 'Jeokbyeok literature'. Especially, 'Jeokbyeok in Mt. Mudeung area' in Hwasun(和順) is the most representative 'literary space' in Korea. There are plenty of cultural sites such as Nujeong and literary works. This paper is one of the studies on Jeokbyeok in Hwasun in Jeollanam-do province as the Korean representative literary space. The content is mainly concerned with Jeokbyeok literature in Mt. Mudeung area in the early Joseon Dynasty. In the early Joseon Dynasty, Sinjae Choi San-du(新齋 崔山斗) recognized Jeokbyeok in natural space as a literary space. Classical Chinese poetry by Sinjae(新齋), Seokcheon Yim Eok-ryeong(石川 林億齡), and Jebong Go Gyeong-myeong(霽峯 高敬命) illustrates the beauty of Jeokbyeok. <Yuseoseokrok>(遊瑞石錄) by Jebong Go Gyeong-myeong(霽峯 高敬命) or <Yujeokbyeokgi>(遊赤壁記) by Hakbong Kim Seong-il(鶴峰 金誠一) is the typical prose in the early Joseon Dynasty. Every piece of the literary works represents the beauty of Jeokbyeok. However, many pieces show the Confucian(儒家的) academic attitude rather than the secluded spiritual world.
