  • Understanding Architectural Heritage of Dosan Seowon and Assessing Its Spatial Significance
    Understanding Architectural Heritage of Dosan Seowon and Ecological Assessing its Spatial Significance / Yoo,Y.C Josefina B.A Kim,G Understanding Architectural Heritage of Dosan Seowon and Assessing its Spatial Significance 도산서원의 건축 문화유산에 대한 이해와 공간적 의미의 평가 * ** *** Yoo, Yeong Chan Josefina B. Alfonso Kim, Gon 유 영 찬 호세피나 비 알폰소 김 곤 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Abstract Dosan Seowon, one of the earliest and most prestigious private Confucian academies in Korea, is an example of a heritage property citizens wish to sustain for the benefit of future generations. It is recognized of its contribution to the Korean society and as an architectural and historical interest. This study conducts architectural and cultural research about Dosan Seowon by scrutinizing its evidential, historical, aesthetic and spatial values. By doing so, it is possible to recognize how appreciated qualities are vulnerable to harm through only understanding their heritage values without practical management solutions. That understanding should then provide the basis for developing and implementing management strategies (including maintenance, cyclical renewal and repair) that will best sustain the heritage values in a physical aspect. The conclusion suggests that communication about Dosan Seowon among those who are concerened is significant. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Keywords : Dosan Seowon, spatial values, heritage values, historical importance, management strategies 키워드 : 도산서원, 공간가치, 문화유산, 역사적 중요성, 관리기법 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.

  • 17. the EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Jang Dong-Pyo South Korea
    17. THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Jang Dong-Pyo South Korea today is known for its highly educated populace, with a liter- acy rate of ninety-nine percent. Its success at creating a modern educa- tional system is credited as a major factor behind its rapid industrial development. Nine years of schooling are compulsory, but over ninety percent of students continue their education. Competition is very intense to get into the top colleges. Students have to spend years preparing for the entrance exams, attending cram schools until late in the evening virtually every day of the week. This is routinely called ‘examination hell.’ Year after year, students subject themselves to such a pressure-filled, grueling sched- ule because they know that an elite college degree is the surest path to success. Though today’s educational system differs greatly from that of the Joseon period, what they have in common is the fact that educational attainment was the key to gaining status and power. At the beginning of the Joseon period, when Neo-Confucianism replaced Buddhism as the ruling ideology, the government undertook a reorganization of the educational system. The objective was to promote its new ideology and to assist the creation of a new social order based on Neo-Confucian principles. Mainly limited to the yangban class, education was meant to produce officials who were skilled at classical Chinese and thoroughly versed in the Confucian classics. It was not until the mid- Joseon period, when the adoption of Neo-Confucianism became com- plete, that a full educational system was established. Rather than a completely publicly funded system, there developed a dual structure of state and private schools.

    Confucianism in Korea Confucianism Comes to Korea Confucianism entered Korea around the same time as Buddhism (4th century). Korea was divided into three kingdoms (see map). Koguryo King Sosurim created a Confucian university in 372 C.E. Neo-Confucianism Flourishes During Joseon (Choson) Dynasty (1392 – 1910 C.E.) Among all the dynasties, Chinese and foreign, the long- lived Joseon was undoubtedly the most thoroughly Confucianized. The Confucian aristocrats (Yangban) ruled the court politics with an elite culture of Neo- Confucianism.

However, due to widespread corruption in the Koryo Kingdom, Chosŏn leaders made a concerted effort to eliminate Buddhism and replace it with Neo-Confucianism. The philosophy of Confucianism became so completely ingrained into Korean life as to change not only political leadership, but the social structure of the kingdom and the culture itself.

  • Andong's Dosan Seowon Confucian Academy
    Andong’s Dosan Seowon Confucian Academy Andong is a center of traditional Korean culture. One of its most celebrated sites is the Dosan Seowon, or Dosan Confucian Academy. The city of Andong in North Gyeongsang Province is famous as one of Korea’s cultural centers. Well-known for its conservative tastes and preservation of folk culture, Andong is high on the list of many travelers’ must-see sites. And one of my favorite places in Andong is the Dosan Seowon (도산서원), or Dosan Confucian Academy (original name: Dosan Seodang). Constructed in 1574 during the 7th year of King Seonjo’s (선조왕) reign, the school was built to enshrine the memorial tablet of Yi Hwang (이황). Yi is one of Korea’s most celebrated philosophers. And if you’ve been to Korea, you’ve no doubt seen his likeness, because that’s him on the ubiquitous 1,000-won ($0.72) note. Yi Hwang (pen name Toegye) is regarded as one of Korea’s foremost intellectuals. Most Koreans see his face every day on the 1,000-won note. The Dosan Seowon was built in his honor. Despite the historic and cultural nature of the academy, which is Korea’s largest and most famous, it’s somewhat remarkable that it still exists. The school, which in its day was the center of the Yeongnam School of Neo-Confucianism, was one of only 47 so-called “lucky” academies that escaped the widespread destruction of such schools during the rule ofHeungseon Daewongun (흥선대원군), the father of Korea’s emperor, Gojong.
