Keywords:Neo-Confucianism, Confucian tradition

The history of introducing Korean Confucianism began with the nobility of the period of the Three states. It began with the study of ethical examples that emphasized social morality. In the Goryeo Dynasty(918∼1392), Exegetics developed with an emphasis on interpreting the meaning of the scriptures.Afterwards, a new study, the Neo-Confucianism, was introduced as an alternative to Exegetics, and developed into a study that revealed the basic principles of human mind and truth, and further developed into an idea that served as the basis for the founding of Joseon by the rising nobility.

At the root of these studies were the desire to gain peace of mind through the acquisition of truth and the methodological presentation of it. One of the methodologies for these truths is the crater that awakens the truth through things. This concept includes not only the objects around us but also the extended nature and universe around us. The chinese Confucius said that it was Jija-Yosu and Inza-Yosan. It is a word that expresses the metaphor of truth that does not change like a mountain, flowing with life without rest like water.

The concept of Yosan-Yosu was organized systematically by the runners of Songdae, and as a place for practical experience of truth, we chose to live with nature. Zhuzi opened Muijeongsa in his hometown of Mui-mountain to discuss his studies, and wrote Muigugokdoga, which sang his academic achievements and pledges projected on the landscape of the surrounding by the Nine-Valley.

The influence of a runner who advocated theology in the social norms and the governing ideology of the Joseon Dynasty based on the Neo-Confucian theory served as a code of conduct for the Confucian-scholars, which made them take "schoolers" for granted. In other words, learning Zhuzi's writings and doing such actions was an act of trying to prove himself to be in a sense of consciousness and to be in the process of study. It made a number of Muigugokdo and Gugokga, and left a trace in nature.

This study was performed from May to October in 2019 to confirm 'Gugok', which has been oralized, destroyed or well preserved in the field of 'Gugok' in Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do areas. There are 24 places of Gugok in the Chungcheong-do area that have been handed down in the region. However the number of Gugok that were confirmed this time is 6 places. including Galeun-Gugok, Seonyu-Gugok, Hwayang-Gugok, Yongsan-Gugok, Gapsa-Gugok and Bongnae-Gugok. Three places of Gugok in Jeolla-do have been handed down, and there are two places of Gugok that were confirmed this time: Cheongryu-Gugok and Yongho-Gugok.

Gugok is relatively clearly shown by the setters, and often the Gugok is set up by the moorings around the living area where they live. However, as time passed, there were not many corners that retained their old appearance due to changes in mountain streams due to changes in natural and artificial conditions, river maintenance and road extension projects, and destruction of landscapes due to urbanization.

The study of Gugok, which began with Confucian tradition and established itself as a culture for nature, has been conducted in various fields. In the early days, it began as a field of Korean poetry and Chinese literature and Confucianism, and expanded to the fields of scenic beauty, geography, topography, and landscape architecture. Although research on the thoughts of Gugok's setters is occupied, much research has not been conducted on the identification of its location and the place where it is passed down. Therefore, this study was carried out to verify the reality through the on-site confirmation survey on the curves of Chungcheong-do region and Jeolla-do region, and it is meaningful to provide basic data on the verification of the curves of other researchers in the future.
