1825 SW Broadway <br><br><b>Synopsis:</b><br>Korea’s
last dynasty, Joseon (1392-1910), lasted over 500 years despite Mongol,
Japanese, and Manchu invasions. From its beginning Joseon rulers
adopted Neo-Confucianism as the dynasty’s guiding philosophy. At the
core of Neo-Confucian teachings were the ethical standards and moral
values commonly known as the “Three Bonds and Five Relationships” (<i>Samgang Oryun</i>).
The virtues advocated in the “Three Bonds and Five Relationships”
profoundly influenced the behaviors and attitudes of the people.
Pictorial themes such as King Jeongjo’s Journey to Hwaseong (<i>Hwaseong Neungheang-do</i>), Scholar’s Accoutrements (<i>Chaekgeori</i>), and Painting of Eight Ideographs (<i>Munja-do</i>)
will be discussed to illustrate the extent to which the Confucian ideal
of ethical codes had permeated every aspect of Joseon society including
its visual culture.</span></p>
