Abstract

In this study, Jiji(Chorography) is defined in three meanings: Jiji as a geography approach, as a description format, and as a literature (classification name), and depending on the description format, Jiji is divided into Item Type Jiji and Description Type Jiji. The latter generally has both a general and a local version written in one Jiji book. This format existed in the Joseon Dynasty as in 󰡔Taekriji󰡕, but it has been established during the Japanese colonial period and continues to the present day. However, until the Japanese colonial period, the local version was more important than the general version, but after the liberation, the general version gradually became the center. However, since the general version is not different from systemic geography, the more it is emphasized, the more its color as a Jiji is bound to fade. It is no exaggeration to say that chorography, which describes the region itself rather than approaching a region as a subject, is the essence of geography. To promote Jiji, It is necessary to recognize Jiji research from a more academic point of view.
