Abstract:

This paper presents an annotated translation and hermeneutic interpretation of a garden record in Seo Yugu’s nineteenth-century Korean encyclopedia Treatises on Rural Living (Imwon gyeongje ji 林園經濟志). This particular garden record is about a fantasy garden called To-Become Garden (Jangchwiwon 將就園). The translation, historical annotations, and hermeneutic interpretation presented in this paper help define the concept of a fantasy garden in East Asian architecture and uncover the Taoist hermitage in the humanistic, social, and environmental context of premodern Korea, at a time when Korea was experiencing a philosophical shift from traditional Neo-Confucianism to the emerging social movement of “practical learning” (Sirhak). This paper demonstrates that Seo’s encyclopedic composition of garden theories mixes his cultural perception of Korean mountain landscapes, his life experience of a practical hermitage, and his fantasy of a Taoist paradise. A comparison is drawn between Seo’s philosophy of life and Western critical philosophy at the dawn of modernity.

摘要：

本文提出一种注释翻译和花园记录的诠释学解释在徐裕固族19世纪的韩国百科全书农村生活著作（Imwon gyeongje姬林园经济志）。这个特别的花园记录是关于一个名为 To-Become Garden ( Jangchwiwon将就园）。本文提出的翻译、历史注释和诠释学解释有助于定义东亚建筑中幻想花园的概念，并在韩国正在经历的时代，在前现代韩国的人文、社会和环境背景下揭示道教隐居地。从传统的新儒家到新兴的“实践学习”（Sirhak）社会运动的哲学转变。本文展示了徐的园林理论百科全书式的构成，融合了他对韩国山地景观的文化认知、他对实际隐居的生活体验以及他对道家天堂的幻想。将徐的人生哲学与现代性初期的西方批判哲学进行比较。
