ABSTRACT

This paper examines the cultural landscape of Jaha-dong, north of Gwanaksan Mountain, focusing on Shin Wi, the owner of Jaha-dong. The four valleys in the east, west, north, and south under the Yeonjudae of the summit of Gwanaksan Mountain were known as Jaha-dong; this paper considers Bukjadong, commonly called Jaha-dong. The humanities landscape of Jaha-dong began at the end of the 17th century when the brothers Shin Yeo-seok and Shin Yeo-cheol, of the Pyeongsan Shin Clan, managed Irodang and Ilganjeong. After their descendant Shin Wi inherited Jaha Sanjang, the place was reborn as a meaningful space around the 19th century. When he was young, Shin Wi called his friend Seo Young-bo to write poems together, and Seo Young-bo recorded the humanities landscape of Jaha-dong as beautiful prose. Along with literary works, this paper reconstructed this space by mobilizing data such as paintings by Jeong Soo-young in 1796, cadastral maps prepared in 1912, 1/50,000 maps measured in 1913, and photos taken in the 1950s or 60s. At the same time, the details and contents of the bust and monument of Shin Wi, which were created in the College of Humanities of Seoul National University, were introduced so that Jaha-dong could be remembered as a space with a humanities landscape.
