Yi San Tomb

To the left of the southern entrance to Maisan Provincial Park stands a rock face inscribed with the characters 'Jupildae'; above it lies the site of Hwangdan, a platform that served as the assembly point for the Honam Righteous Army Alliance for the Righteous Cause in 1907, and below it stands a shrine called Isanmyo. Jupildae is said to be the place where King Taejo Yi Seong-gye rested while returning in triumph after defeating Japanese pirates. Isanmyo was built by the disciples of Song Byeong-seon (pen name Yeonjae) — a fellow disciple of Choe Ik-hyeon (pen name Myeonam) and a teacher of Emperor Gojong — after they formed the Chinchin-gye (a gathering of Yeonjae's disciples) and the Hyeonhyeon-gye (a gathering of Myeonam's disciples); it houses Hoedeokjeon, Yeonggwangsa, Yeongmosa, and the Monument to National Restoration, among other structures. This is a verified site where the righteous army rose at the end of the Joseon period to defend national sovereignty; below the site of the Righteous Alliance, a shrine was built at a location associated with the founding legend of King Taejo of Joseon, gathering the spirit tablets of anti-Japanese righteous army fighters and traces commemorating them, giving it great value for designation and preservation.
