江湖歌道의 硏究 : The world of an old man fishing in his retired life = A STUDY OF KANG-HO-KA-DO

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The life which the nobility of the Lee Dynasty had lived indulged in nature was a world of hermits. As it had its deep roots in private land-ownership, it was filled with extraordinary taste and luxury. But no matter how hard the nobility emphasige the manifestation of naturalism, they were virtually neither in complete seperation from reality nor in their own world of escape from that. And so, it is proper to say that the life of them had not been the complete escape from reality but the self-complacency of the wise who avoided the world. This self-complacency was inevitably led to the enjoyment of hills or streams, and aloofness without regard to reality. The idea of finding pleasures in hills and streams was attributed to consider the life with nature as a matter of course. This attitude towards nature beautifies it so-much so well and adorns even the wise people hidden in the that their great dispositions were often represented. On the other hand, as they regarded nature from the point of Chinese view, the escapism was a idiological one which came from the fact that they were unable to fulfil the complete avoidance from reality. Aloofness was also nothing but an incination to resignation to satisfy human agonies which was due to the dissatisfaction and disgust towards reality. Consequently, one's detachment to things arose in the place where one should seek for something of value to be done.
In short, indulgance in nature and aloofness over reality were the world of self-satisfying and detached ideal of those hermits who could neither deny reality, with doubts in mind nor confront with it, being in no denial of humanity.
