In this essay I discuss Songsun's (宋純1493-1582) dwelling named Myonangjong (俛仰亭) through his kasa (歌辞), sijo (時調), and Chinese poems. Firstly we are lead to think his unique kasa 'Myonangjong-ga (俛仰亭歌)'. This kasa is very similar to 'Songjoga (成造歌)', and connected with geomancy (Pungsusol風水説). We can grasp from his poem the place that is surrounded by beautiful mountains, and opened to a field in front is the ideal place to dwell for Korean people at that period. Myonangjong was built at such ideal palce to dwell, and this pavillion was figured symbolically by a dragon and a crane in this poem. The dragon is old and lives in a cave, but in contrast with this dragon, blue crane is stay on a vast cloud, and is on the point of flying over a thousand miles. From this we can find that Myonangjong is in co-operation with the ideal place to dwell. Myonangjong was built after labor of ten years, but this pavillion was called 'tyoro samgon (草廬三間=simple pavillion covered with grass roof)'. As this name shows Myonangjong should be simple, and so Songsun was able to make friend with nature. When Songsun was in Myonangjong, he could melt into one with nature. And at the same time Myonangjong was also melted into one with nature, and got perfacet meaning of it. 'Myonangjong' was Songsun's pen name, and was the name of the pavillion he lived. On the other hand this name meens that his way of life is very pure so he needs not disgrace against the earth and the sky. Myonangjong (=Songsun) could realize himself in Myonangjong (=the pavillion) on the earth under the sky.
