Yuhoedang Hall Gigungjae Hall (Bu)

Yuhoedang Hall and Gigungjae Hall are a building named after the pen name of Gwon I-jin (1668–1734) and its attached ritual hall, set in a secluded spot on the southern foot of Bomunsan Mountain. The name 'Yuhoe', expressing the wish always to hold a filial heart yearning deeply for one's parents, is taken from a line in a poem by the Ming-dynasty Chinese scholar Jeon Mokje: 'waking at dawn, unable to sleep, thinking of two people.' Yuhoedang Hall is a building of four bays across the front and two bays deep, standing behind a small pond called Hwalsudam; it has a wooden-floored veranda with railings along the front and both sides, and ondol (heated) rooms flank the broad central wooden-floored hall. Gigungjae Hall, the ritual hall used for ancestral rites, is an L-shaped building rebuilt in the 1920s, with an inner room, a side room and a kitchen arranged around a broad wooden-floored hall. On this site also stand Samgeunjeongsa, the mourning hut Gwon I-jin built to keep watch over his father's grave, and Jangpangak, where the collection of his writings is kept.
