About the lecture:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Kim will discuss pictorial themes in Korean art which illustrate the extent to which Confucian ideals and ethical codes permeated every aspect of Korean Joseon dynasty society.<\/p>\n

Korea\u2019s last dynasty, Joseon (1392-1910), lasted over 500 years despite\u00a0Mongol, Japanese, and Manchu invasions. From its beginning Joseon rulers\u00a0adopted Neo-Confucianism as the dynasty\u2019s guiding philosophy. At the core of\u00a0Neo-Confucian teachings were the ethical standards and moral values commonly\u00a0known as the \u201cThree Bonds and Five Relationships\u201d (Samgang Oryun). The\u00a0virtues advocated in the \u201cThree Bonds and Five Relationships\u201d profoundly\u00a0influenced the behaviors and attitudes of the people. Pictorial themes such as\u00a0King Jeongjo\u2019s Journey to Hwaseong (Hwaseong Neungheang-do), Scholar\u2019s Accoutrements (Chaekgeori), and Painting of Eight Ideographs (Munja-do) will\u00a0be discussed to illustrate the extent to which the Confucian ideal of ethical codes\u00a0had permeated every aspect of Joseon society including its visual culture.<\/p>\n
