Daeseongjeon Hall ‧dongmu‧seomu of Sangju Local Confucian School

Sangjuhyanggyo is architecturally significant as a building that can reveal how the buildings and layout corresponding to the functions of a Joseon-period Confucian school, and the form in which the local administrative system was institutionally expressed, changed over time and varied by region. The Dongmu (east hall) and Seomu (west hall) have a clear building history: since being rebuilt in the mid-Joseon period they have not changed location, and they largely retain the original structural style and form of that time. Their standardised, strictly ordered layout is especially notable; in scale they are second only to the Munmyo (the national Confucian shrine), and they achieve an outstanding elevational composition that takes account of the sloping terrain.
