선비의 문방용품에 내재된 문화적 정체성

Abstract

The spirit of Seonbi centered on neighbors and national development was a support for the society. Since Seonbi concentrated only on studying while paying no attention to their family affairs, rooms where they usually spent time came to get characteristics as a study room. The Culture of Stationery took root in the leading group of the society during Three Kingdoms, and it spread even to the general public in the Corea Dynasty. When it comes to manufacture technology of 4 main stationery, Baekmu paper of the Sinra Dynasty was spread even to China, and paper and inkstones of the Choseon Dynasty as well as ink stick called Songyean of the Corea Dynasty were compared to treasures by Chinese scholars. The 4 main stationery (brush, paper, inkstone and ink stick) all reached a high level. Symbols or expressions implied in the 4 main stationery or other writing materials are about studying, spirit, integrity and dream. Seeing the Culture of Stationery of the Choseon Dynasty as a part of Confucian culture is a exterior view, and a insight into nature was contained in it. With a scent of nature in itself, it is precise and simple without vulgarity. Mild, order-oriented, clear and right spirit of Seonbi, seeking a poor but honest living as the most important principle, can be expressed as elegance of ume flower, scent of orchid, gloss of mum, and clearness of bamboo. The beauty of stationery in the culture of Seonbi gave birth to an elegant, clear and simple style.
