The Symbolism of Suwon's Eight Scenic Spots: A Historical and Cultural Analysis of Landscape Transformations

Suwon's eight scenic spots, with Hwaseong Fortress as their centerpiece, embody deep cultural symbolism tied to landscape transformations during the Joseon Dynasty. Originally recognized as the 16th view of Hwaseong Fortress, these spots evolved into Suwon's eight scenic landmarks, reflecting shifts in historical and cultural values. The study reveals how Jeongjo's vision for Hwaseong Fortress fostered community pride and significance, unraveling layers of history embedded in these landscapes. By analyzing landscape modifications and their cultural implications, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of the symbolic value of Suwon's heritage, offering insights into its enduring legacy.
