Dongsanjae Hall, Jinju

Dongsanjae was built by the Changwon Hwang clan as a place to hold ancestral rites for their forebears. It enshrines the spirit tablets of Hwang Seok-gi, Hwang Sang, Hwang Jun, Hwang Yun, Hwang U and Hong Eo-pil, and rites are held every year on the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month. Hwang Seok-gi (d. 1364) was a civil official of the late Goryeo period. In 1342 he helped suppress the faction of Jo Jeok and protect the king, and for this merit he was ranked a first-class meritorious subject. He was also an accomplished writer, and after holding a succession of offices he rose in 1358 to the post of munha sirang dongjungseo munha pyeongjangsa, a senior post in the Goryeo government. Hwang Sang was a military official of the late Goryeo period who became a hogun under King Chunghye and a miljik busa under King Gongmin. He later distinguished himself in campaigns against the Red Turban rebels and Japanese pirates, being skilled in the martial arts and renowned for his valour. The buildings on the site comprise Dongsanjae itself, an auxiliary building, Sedeoksa Shrine and Munbongheon Hall, together with Joyangmun, the main gate, and Chuwonmun, the gate to Sedeoksa Shrine. Dongsanjae originally stood in Sinpung-ri, but was moved to its present site in 1995 owing to the construction of Namgang Dam.
