Stand Yeong Head House, Cheongdo

Stand Yeong Head House, Cheongdo, is the head house of Kim Il-son, pen name Tagyeong, a leading figure of the Sarim faction in early Joseon. The complex consists of Yeongmogak, which houses Kim Il-son's collected writings, the main hall (anchae), the men's quarters (sarangchae), the servants' quarters (haengnangchae), and the bujomyo, an unmovable ancestral shrine enshrining the spirit tablets of Kim Il-son and his wife. The bujomyo was built in Baekgok, where the head house stands, in 1578, the eleventh year of King Seonjo of Joseon, when Kim Il-son was enshrined at Jagye Seowon, a Confucian academy. Later, in 1661, the second year of King Hyeonjong, when Jagye Seowon received a royal charter, the shrine's status rose from a privately maintained 'unremovable' shrine to one officially sanctioned by the state, meaning its tablets would never be removed from worship even after the usual four generations. In 1844, the tenth year of King Heonjong of Joseon, a descendant, Chang-yun, rebuilt the deteriorated bujomyo, and in 1940 it was renovated into a structure of three bays across the front and one and a half bays to the side. Kim Il-son's courtesy name was Gyeun and his pen name was Tagyeong; his clan seat was Gimhae, and he was born the third son of Kim Maeng in Topyeong-ri, also known as Baekgok village. In 1498, while compiling the Veritable Records of King Seongjong, he included 'A Lament for the Righteous Emperor,' an essay written by his teacher Kim Jong-jik, which caused controversy and led to his death in the Muo Literati Purge under Prince Yeonsan. He was exonerated after the Jungjong Restoration of 1506, and was later posthumously granted the post of Minister of Personnel and given the posthumous name Munmin.
