Chwibaekjeong Pavilion

Chwibaekjeong Pavilion is an auxiliary building of Mihoseowon, a Confucian academy founded in 1701, the 27th year of King Sukjong's reign. It was built on the site where Song Gyu-ryeom (1630-1709), known by his pen name Jewoldang, had gathered and taught his disciples, and inside the building hangs the ridge-raising text for Mihosinsa, a document composed for the ceremony of raising a building's ridge beam, written by Song Gyu-ryeom himself. Song Gyu-ryeom was a civil official of the mid-Joseon period who passed the state civil service examination and served as Governor of Chungcheong Province and Vice Minister of Rites; he was later appointed Minister of Rites and Inspector-General but resigned from both posts, before rising, at the age of eighty, to the position of Jidonnyeongbusa. He was renowned for his scholarship and, together with Song Si-yeol and Song Jun-gil, was known as one of the 'Three Songs'. The building once held a wooden plaque reading 'Sahogak', personally written and bestowed by King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800), but it is said to have since been lost. The pavilion stands on a hill to the right of the road leading from Sintanjin to Daecheong Dam.
