Chungjeonggong Mokseoheum Burial Ground

The Chungjeonggong Mokseoheum Burial Ground is the tomb site of Mok Seo-heum, who served as Left and Right Governor of the Hanseongbu (the capital administration) under King Injo, and who was known for governing with integrity and for the benevolent guidance he gave the people. Its close connection to Seoul, together with the burial ground and its stone furnishings — which illustrate late Joseon tomb design and stone-carving practice — give it considerable value for preservation. In particular, the sindobi (神道碑, a memorial stele erected beside the path to a tomb) provides valuable evidence of the literary style of Jo Gyeong and the calligraphy of leading writers and calligraphers of the day such as Yi Jeong-yeong and Jo Wi-myeong, giving it historiographical value as a source that supplements official histories such as the Veritable Records (sillok).
