ABSTRACT

This thesis is written to reconstruct Kim Sang-heon's life in seclusion in Pungsan, and to examine the aspects of nature perception and Tao-oriented consciousness expressed in his Unlimcheosaga in Haedongyuyo. Having spent a period of chaos in which political party strife and war continued, he lived a moral life that valued loyalty and incisiveness. From the beginning of his official duties, he was politically opposed to the ruling forces, including King Gwanghae-gun, and in 1618, he went down to Pungsan to live there to avoid social turmoil and persecution of the ruling forces. He was able to forget the troubles of the world while admiring the beautiful natural scenery around Samgwijeong in Pungsan, so this place is meaningful as a space for seclusion. Not only that, this place was also a place where you could get mental comfort as a place of taste for the arts to socialize with your acquaintances. His Unlimcheosaga is about the life of a scholar who lived in nature in disappointment with the reality of the time during the reign of King Gwanghae-gun. It embodies the aspect of escaping from the troubles of the world through enjoying the natural scenery and the attitude of living to conform to fate. In addition, by denying the politically and socially chaotic reality of the time, the beautiful scenery around the Samguijeong is set as a space of surrogate satisfaction called 'the world of Taoist hermit with miraculous powers', and in reality, as if a lonely self became a Taoist hermit with miraculous powers, enjoy the beautiful scenery and give them rest and comfort.
