Wolacheon Stream, famous for its crescent-shaped oasis
An oasis is an oasis, but that four-story pavilion catches the eye.
The presence of that pavilion makes Wolacheon a more attractive space.
To put it in one word: The beauty of Wolacheon was completed.
name is Wolcheongak
This pavilion ‘Myeongsasan Myeongbulheojeon (鳴沙山 鳴不虛傳)’ It is famous for having a plaque written on it.
It is a gimmick in that the name (name) in Myeongbulheojeon is changed by taking the character 鳴 (ulmyeong) from Myeongsa Mountain.
Then, it can be interpreted as “The sound of Myeongsa Mountain did not spread in vain. (There is a reason why Myeongsa Mountain is famous).”
There is also an attractive gimmick like this.
The exterior is four-story and has a fancy yet old feel.
Naturally, I became curious about its history.
1907 photo
As it turns out, there is no root.
There may have been something, but it's not Wolcheon Pavilion like it is now.
1908
1926
1957
I can see something on the top left
The design is different from the current Wolcheongak.
(Honestly, that design sucks..)
In fact, Wolcheongak is now Concrete in 1993 as
It was built in the Handang architectural style to match the surrounding buildings.
But the important thing is
Created with a neat design It's done
It's harmonious, as if it was originally there with that design.
Aesthetically good too
Of course, since it has no foundation and is a concrete building, steam can leak out.
Considering only the results, when you ask, ‘Is it better to have Wolcheon Pavilion in Wolacheon or without it?’
But I think it's better to have it
Let’s imagine Wolacheon without Wolcheongak.
It just becomes a crescent-shaped puddle of water.
The presence of Wolcheongak creates cultural and aesthetic value beyond the natural scenery. Would that be an exaggeration?
Tourism is a great success even without the foundation
It is sweeping away tourists every year.
Would Myeongsa Mountain have become this famous when there was only a reservoir and no buildings?
In fact, the amount of water drawn from tourists has exceeded its limit, leading to the drying up of Wola Stream (but groundwater depletion due to the construction of Deagan Dam is also the cause).
In 2007, flood control work was carried out to artificially supply water to Wola Stream!
As a side effect, too much water was supplied, and at one point there were two puddles, like in the picture above.
Wolah Stream, which has not dried for thousands of years
Now it is completely artificial and no longer a normal natural landscape.
As a result, both the buildings and nature of Wolacheon have disappeared.
This problem When utilizing natural scenery as a tourism resource
Remember that destruction follows. I'm ordering it
In any case, Wolah Stream has become a popular tourist attraction.
A fence has been installed around Wolacheon Stream.
This lights up, creating a blue crescent moon shape at night, providing another attraction.
If this happens, tourists will go even crazier haha.
We have figured out exactly what people like and are using Wolacheon very faithfully.
Will you create and use it?
or
Will the original form be preserved?
It gives me something to think about on this issue.
then
now Korea example Let's see
He became more famous after appearing on Mr. Sunshine.
Suhongru of Cheoneunsa Temple in Jiri Mountain
The pavilion on the bridge creates a unique scenery.
In fact, the bridge part was made of concrete,
There is no information on the exact date of construction of the pavilion, Suhongru, except that it was written by Yeomjae Song Tae-hoe in the late Joseon Dynasty.
In this case, as in the case of Wolcheongak, its historical value will decline slightly.
However, not all traditional-style buildings should be evaluated solely based on historical value.
because Before questioning whether or not Suhongru has roots, it is already so beautiful.
Still, the fact that it is concrete may have taken some time, or is it for safety reasons?
Recently, between 2021 and 2022, the concrete part was dismantled and repaired in the form of the granite Hongye Bridge of a traditional temple.
(The reference for Hongyegyo Bridge was Songgwangsa Temple’s Neungheogyo Bridge, but I liked it overall.)
I think this bridge was built well.
I forgot the name.. If you know, please leave a comment.
(I think I also heard that all the willow trees have now been cut down due to a nearby maintenance project.)
ps Jeonju Namcheongyo Bridge Cheongyeonru
Historically, it is said that Namcheongyo existed during the Joseon Dynasty.
The current Namcheongyo Bridge has been recreated in modern times, and just looking at the form of Hongyegyo Bridge, it is not at all a concept of restoration to its original form.
According to the record that it was called Ohhonggyo, it is assumed that there were five Hongye.
I don't even know the exact shape
Since it was rebuilt with three red flags (in the photo, the left and right red flags are obscured by trees) and named Namcheongyo, it can be seen that the original form was clearly destroyed.
Nevertheless, the long and elegantly curved Hongye Bridge,
In addition, the magnificent Cheongyeonnu Pavilion rises in proportion to its grandeur.
I think this modern interpretation is fun
It is a hanok with a gable roof and blends in well with the surrounding hanok village.
It's nice to see the natural scenery layered from river to willow tree to Namcheongyo Bridge to the mountain behind.
And although their personalities are different, when compared to bridges of similar scale,
It is also interesting to compare it with Hwahongmun Gate in Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon or Woljeong Bridge in Gyeongju.
The sight of Hongye reflected in the water creating a huge oval is something that cannot be seen at Hwahongmun Gate or Woljeonggyo Bridge, and is thought to be unique and creative to Namcheongyo Bridge.
Gimcheon City Peace Tower
It is a recently built five-story wooden pagoda.
Although it has no historical value as it is a newly built tower that never existed before.
From an aesthetic standpoint, I personally think it’s really well built.
PS
Especially because the exterior is finished with lacquer rather than dancheong.
I like it because it’s not too flashy or overly flashy.
And since it is a high-rise wooden pagoda, I can't help but think of the 9-story wooden pagoda of Hwangnyongsa Temple.
The Peace Tower is roughly 1/2 in height and 1/4 in area.
The design is also similar (to a non-expert's perspective), so much so that it can be thought of as a miniature version of the 5th floor of Hwangnyongsa Temple.
I don't know if I actually referenced it.
Similarly, the three-story wooden pagoda of Botapsa Temple, created in modern times,
It is also interesting to compare it with the five-story wooden pagoda of Neungsa Temple, which reproduces the Baekje style.
They have different shapes
Won't these wooden pagodas become new cultural assets in about 100 years?
There was and then it was gone
Jusanji 'Floating Hermitage' in Juwangsan National Park, Cheongsong-gun
A fictional hermitage created in the movie “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring”
However, since this is a national park, it was dismantled immediately after filming due to concerns about damaging the original natural scenery.
I really like the mystery of floating on the water, the ancient colors of the hermitage, and the harmony with the willow tree.
It's such a waste that I wonder what would have happened if we had established a good supplementary plan and maintained it.
ps
According to a relatively recent article from 2019,
Cheongsong-gun In order to reconsider the reputation of Jusanji Temple, he requested the reconstruction of this water hermitage and Iljumun Gate.
On the other hand Cultural Heritage Administration In order to preserve the unique scenic value of the main mountain range, it has been rejected.
It accurately penetrates the core theme of the entire article, ‘Should we create and utilize it vs. Preserve the original form?’
Cheongsong-gun is not giving up and will continue to negotiate.
They are clashing sharply in real time.
The issue of restoring this Jusanji hermitage is
Depending on how it progresses and is decided
It could be a decisive event that changes the trend toward preserving and utilizing our country’s cultural heritage.
I think this is an issue worth paying attention to.
This is just my thoughts after watching Wolahcheon.
I added some pictures and the content got longer.
Three line summary:
1. When looking at traditional-style buildings, don’t be too obsessed with the historical roots.
2. Even if you don’t have the fundamentals, it’s okay if you create something cool and harmonious.
3. Instead, be careful not to lead to the destruction of natural scenery.
