Abstract

This study contemplates the utopian landscape recognized by the scholars with twenty three pieces of 'travel record'. Consequently, five key words - Mureungdowon(武陵桃源), Byeolcheonji(別天地), Dongcheon(洞天), Chonghakdong, Eungeoji(hermitage) - are chosen for comprehending the utopia and their landscape characteristics are organised as follows. Mureungdowon in Jirisan Mountain which the scholars dreamed of is a flatland with the full energy for local vegetation and domestic animals in the mysterious and deep gorge. This utopia eventually reflects the rural landscape. Byeolcheonji is a utopia combining the concept of a fairyland and beautiful scenery. The scholars also used the term 'Dongcheon' for naming the enclosed landform which is suitable for seclusion and defining the some areas of beautiful scenery. Cheonghakdong, which is set only in Jirisan Mountain, has been formed by the stone scenery of gorges and Buril waterfalls around the whole area of Burilam Hermitage, the vegetation scenery of pine trees and bamboos with the legend of Choi Chiwon and his engraved inscription on a rock. Adding to the utopia passed down, the scholars perceived the village with geographical features with back to the mountain and facing the water, the river practising the trade, the flatland enclosed by bamboo forests, the vegetation mainly consisting of fruit trees and beautiful scenery as the utopia realized on earth. It is equivalent to the world of human beings laboring appropriately and living in Mother Nature. As mentioned above, this study has significance for apprehending the relevance between the culture of strolling in the mountains by the scholars of Joseon Dynasty and the fairyland and explaining the various traditional utopias from the inherited concepts from China to the naturalized realistic utopia.

본 연구는 지리산 유람록 23편을 대상으로 하여 문인들이 인식한 이상향의 경관을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 문장 속에 묘사된 '무릉도원(武陵桃源)', '별천지(別天地)', '동천(洞天)', '청학동', 그리고 '은거지'라는 다섯 가지 키워드를 지리산 이상향의 유형으로 이해하고, 이들의 경관 특성을 다음과 같이 정리하였다. 문인들이 꿈꾼 지리산의 '무릉도원'은 신비감을 주는 깊은 산속, 협곡 안에 마련된 넓고 평평한 터, 감나무와 밤나무 등 향토식생, 닭과 소 등 생리(生利)를 만족시키는 토속경관이 반영된 이상향이다. '별유천지(別有天地)'의 '별천지'는 선경(仙境)과 승경 개념이 결합된 이상향이다. 또한 문인들은 은일에 적합한 위요된 지형 구조를 가진 곳에 이름을 붙이거나 일정한 영역의 승경지를 한정하는 개념으로 '동천'을 사용하였다. 지리산에 설정된 '청학동'은 불일암 일대 협곡과 불일폭포로 이루어진 수석(水石)경관, 소나무와 대나무 등 식생경관을 토대로 하여 최치원의 설화와 바위글씨로 전승되었다. 문인들은 지리산에서 배산임수형 지세, 교역 가능한 하천, 대숲으로 위요된 평평한 토지, 유실수 위주의 식생, 아름다운 산수를 갖춘 마을을 지상에 실현된 이상향으로 인지하였다. 이것은 대자연 안에서 적당하게 노동하며 사는 인간 세상의 모습과 같다. 살펴본 바와 같이 본 연구는 조선시대 문인들의 유산(遊山) 문화와 이상향의 관련성, 그리고 선계(仙界)로 인식한 지리산의 여건을 파악하고, 중국에서 전래된 개념부터 토착화된 현실적 이상향까지 다양한 전통적 이상향을 설명하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.
