The gardening method and prototype of the traditional pond garden of Chosen-Era was examined by field survey and analysis of 27 gardens in Korea.
The results are as follows;
1.The type of pond is almost rectangular one with small round island.
2.The location and form of the pond and the treatment of water are influenced by the philosophy of ShinSun (ShinSen) and PoongSoo (HuSui).
3.The water flows into the pond through a waterway from the North-East and flows out to a South-West direction. The reason is the influence of the philosophy of ShinSun, UmYangOHaeng (InYoGoGyo) and of PoongSoo.
4.Water front of the pond is made of a simple type embankment of stone or soil. Most of them are built by stone.
