Jiseonjeong Pavilion, Cheongju

Jiseonjeong Pavilion is a Joseon-period pavilion built in 1610, the second year of King Gwanghaegun, by Oh Myeong-rip after he gave up his official post and retired to his home village. He named it "Jiseonjeong" after his own pen name, and used the pavilion to lecture and train his students. It was rebuilt in 1704, the thirtieth year of King Sukjong, and repaired in 1738, the fourteenth year of King Yeongjo, and again in 1802, the second year of King Sunjo. Later, during the reign of Emperor Gojong (r. 1863–1907), a surrounding wall and a middle gate were added. The building has three bays across the front and two bays along the side, and is an elaborate hip-and-gable-roofed structure, its side profile forming the shape of the Chinese character 八 (eight). It now holds a wooden plaque written by Song Si-yeol, under his pen name Uam, and another bearing the name "Jiseonjeong" written by Kwon Sang-ha. Nearby stands Wolsongjeong Pavilion, built in the same period by Oh Yu-rip.
