The National Library of Korea will hold an exhibition titled "Spring & Seeing in Literature" in the exhibition hall on the first floor of the main building from the 12th of this month until the 21st of next month. In collaboration with the National Korean Literature Museum, the exhibition introduces forty-five pieces of Joseon and modern literature, paintings, videos, and records centered on the theme of "spring." Featured works include "Sangchungok," "Dendong Eomihwajeonga," "Does Spring Come to the Stolen Fields?" and "Dosang Okjunghwa." An interactive art piece utilizing the poem "Spring Rain" by Heo Nanseolheon, No Cheonmyeong, and Park Mokwol is also presented.
The exhibition is divided into four main sections. Part 1, "Oh, Our Friends, Let's Go Play Hwajeon," introduces works from the Joseon era that enjoy the beauty of spring in fields and mountains. Part 2, "Does Spring Come to the Stolen Fields?" shows how modern literature began with the sorrow of colonization. Part 3, "The Fragrant and Pungent Scent," features the story of Chunhyang and Lee Mongryong, which began on the Dano Festival. Part 4, "Spring is Like a Cat," exhibits poems and essays that sing of spring with a modern sensibility.
