Yi Toegye (1501-1571) is a representative Korean Confucian. He developed Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi's studies and was self-effacing and serious about his work for his whole life. At middle age, he decided to retire and built houses in the south of Taoshan for living and studying with his friends and students. He wrote a lot of Chinese poems, believing that poetry is not merely a performance of skills but a true depiction of a higher life state. His life in Taoshan demonstrates his environmental planning, daily activities, and life philosophies. The author attempts to explore the significance of the Taoshan construction and observes how Yi's life and studies are combined with it from the aspects of landscape, self-cultivation, and the relationship among things. Taoshan actually became the space that shows Yi's personality and projects the magnificent and solemn world of li 'heavenly principle' in human world.
