Abstract
We investigated the relationship among the spatial compositions of buildings, gardens and Churyon of Yongyong-dang. Churyon were decorative paper or wooden plaques and carved with poems, hung on the front pillars vertically. We analyzed Churyon with contents of a rhyming couplet, and with relation to arrangement in each of building, Sarangche, Sunhyangje, Nongsujung, Anche. As a consequence, Churyon hung on the outside pillar in Sarangche and Anche were characterized by the contents of administration, and hung on the inside pillar were characterized by the contents ofadmonition. And Churyon hung on Sunhyangje and Nongsujung had the contents of educational and banquet. Each of Churyon in the inner space of building, first of all, Dechung of Sarangche, Sunhyangje and Anche had the public contents of couplet. Secondly, Ondolbang, Rumaru and Rudarag had the private contents of couplet. We knew each of buildings and its inner space were characterized by the contents of couplet on Churyon.
