Plurality and Diversity of Architectural History —In Case of Neo-Confucian World View of China and Its Reflection on the Architecture of Korea's Private Academies

摘要

In many respects, the founding of the Joseon Dynasty (1392—1910) of Korea marked the birth of a new society, which was very different in character from the preceding Goryeo era (918—1392). The new dynasty set out to do things differently in virtually all areas, from politics to economy, society, status, religion, thought, and foreign relations.
