Jeoheon Hall Yi Seok-hyeong Tomb and Spirit-path Stele

Yi Seok-hyeong (1415–1477), pen name Jeoheon, was a civil official of the early Joseon period whose clan seat was Yeonan. His wife, of the Yeonil Jeong clan, was the great-granddaughter of the loyal Goryeo official Jeong Mong-ju. As a scholar of the Jiphyeonjeon (Hall of Worthies), Yi Seok-hyeong took part in compiling the Chipyeongyoram and the Goryeosa, and his calligraphy was said to be extraordinary. His tomb lies on the hill south of the tomb of Jeong Mong-ju, pen name Poeun. Before the round mound stand a stone table, an incense-burner stone, a jujunseok (a stone on which ritual wine was placed), and two pairs of stone civil-official figures. A tombstone of round-topped, square-based (wonsubangbu) form is also present. The spirit-path stele, erected at the entrance to the tomb grounds in 1624, is likewise of round-topped, square-based form. Its inscription was composed by Yi Jeong-gu, a descendant four generations on, written out by Sin Ik-seong, a descendant six generations on, and its seal-script title was written by Kim Sang-yong.
