📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What are the conditions of a land suitable for human habitation?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this geographical treatise of the Joseon era, I marveled at the author's wisdom in weaving together, beyond a mere record of land, the lives and culture of the people rooted in it. Yi Jung-hwan does not stop at reading the geomancy and the lie of the mountains; he searches fiercely for the truly ideal place where a human being can take root, weighing even the temper of the people and the conditions of livelihood. If you are seeking the place that is truly your own, where body and mind may rest, read this Taengniji.

— ONGO · Curator
"Even if the landscape is outstanding, if the people's hearts are not good, it is not a place to live long."
Yi Jung-hwan, Taekriji
"산수가 빼어나도 인심이 좋지 않으면 오래 살 곳이 못 된다."
