Dosanseowon Confucian Academy Nongunjeongsa Temple, Andong

Nongunjeongsa Temple of Dosanseowon Confucian Academy in Andong is the very birthplace where Yeongnam scholars, who went on to play major roles in Joseon's scholarly world and political life, studied in their youth directly under the teaching of Toegye; it is a historic site whose original form survives well. In its architectural form, Nongunjeongsa is regarded as an outstanding example of an educational facility built in the dotomari style, a traditional house form modelled on the shape of a weaver's warp beam. Its plan takes the shape of the Chinese character "工" (gong), with a central main section and, at the front and rear ends, a wooden-floored room and a storage space. The dotomari style of Nongunjeongsa was based on the design of the monk-craftsman Beopyeon, who was responsible for building the Dosan Seodang, and it was completed by his disciple Jeongil.
