A study on place names in 『Ungoksisa』 Ⅱ : Focusing on Gyeongsang-do and the east coast

Ungok traveled a lot, both publicly and privately, and many place names of the time were recorded in the poems he wrote at that time. In this paper, I examined the place names that appeared on the long route that crossed Jukryeong, passed through Andong, the east coast of Gyeongbuk, and the southern Gangwon when Ungok was 40 years old. I sought to find the purpose of this trip by examining Ungok's path and the author's attitude shown in his work. While travel in northern Gangwon is largely related to public or private business, travel in the east coast of Gyeongbuk has a strong nature of sightseeing. Since he did not have a clear destination and was not constrained by a schedule, he was able to relax, so he visited all the famous places and met friends. In this article, it is revealed that the reason why Mangyangjeong(望洋亭), the most famous landmark on the east coast, did not appear in Ungok's poem is because It did not exist only during the late Goryeo period when Ungok visited, and it was estimated that Imuijeong(臨漪亭) was not a current Imuidae(臨漪臺), and that Jihyun(知峴) is the current Wahyun(瓦峴). The southernmost point of the route was Yeongdeok. He came up the east coast and headed straight from Okgye to Jeongseon without visiting Gangneung. Because he had missed Jeongseon so much that he didn't go to Gangneung and went straight to Jeongseon over Baekbokryeong. The trip to the east coast of Gyeongbuk has a strong character of aimless excursion, which may be due to the surrounding circumstances faced by Ungok around the age of 40, such as the death of his son and wife, and the gradual decline of his family. In early spring, he sees nature in which all things are revived and harmonize with each other, and he assimilates himself to it. He longs for a pure spiritual world, free from the turmoil of the world.

Abstract

Ungok traveled a lot, both publicly and privately, and many place names of the time were recorded in the poems he wrote at that time. In this paper, I examined the place names that appeared on the long route that crossed Jukryeong, passed through Andong, the east coast of Gyeongbuk, and the southern Gangwon when Ungok was 40 years old. I sought to find the purpose of this trip by examining Ungok's path and the author's attitude shown in his work. While travel in northern Gangwon is largely related to public or private business, travel in the east coast of Gyeongbuk has a strong nature of sightseeing. Since he did not have a clear destination and was not constrained by a schedule, he was able to relax, so he visited all the famous places and met friends. In this article, it is revealed that the reason why Mangyangjeong(望洋亭), the most famous landmark on the east coast, did not appear in Ungok's poem is because It did not exist only during the late Goryeo period when Ungok visited, and it was estimated that Imuijeong(臨漪亭) was not a current Imuidae(臨漪臺), and that Jihyun(知峴) is the current Wahyun(瓦峴). The southernmost point of the route was Yeongdeok. He came up the east coast and headed straight from Okgye to Jeongseon without visiting Gangneung. Because he had missed Jeongseon so much that he didn't go to Gangneung and went straight to Jeongseon over Baekbokryeong. The trip to the east coast of Gyeongbuk has a strong character of aimless excursion, which may be due to the surrounding circumstances faced by Ungok around the age of 40, such as the death of his son and wife, and the gradual decline of his family. In early spring, he sees nature in which all things are revived and harmonize with each other, and he assimilates himself to it. He longs for a pure spiritual world, free from the turmoil of the world.
