ABSTRACT

JeoJaDo (JeoJa-Island) is known for some songs or poems written by literatis. Besides, it is famous that best poets including Choi Kyong Chang and Baek Kwang Hoon wrote plenty of poems about JeoJa-Do as they often visited BongEunsa (Bong Eun Temple) which is just near JeoJa–Do in 16th century. Especially in 17th century, poets including Koo Yong and Heo Hwae had their beautiful villas there so that lots of poets including Lee An Nool and Kwon Pil enjoyed visiting there. Later, Kim Chang Hup and Heo Gyuk had villas there and JeoJa–Do became one of the famous attraction in vicinity of HanGang (Han River). By the way, MoRaeTop where JungRangChon (JungRang River) and Han – Gang meet is described as the location of Jeo Ja – Do in some studies and dictionaries. Until 17th century, Jeo Ja – Do was located in Sam Sung Dong and known as Moo Dong - Do (Moo Dong – Island) since there was a rock called Moo Dong - Do (Moo Dong – Rock) according to literature written in Cho Sun dynasty. Around 18th century, people recognized Jeo Ja – Do and Moo Dong – Do as difference places, considering Mu Dong – Do as some part of Jam Sil. Then, a map that showed Jeo Ja – Do located in front of Ddook island appeared in 19th century and that was similar to how people in modern times think where Jeo Ja – Do is. In early 20th century, Mu Dong – Do referred to the area where Jeo Ja – Do in Sam Sung Dong was located in prior period.
