This village school (seodang) was built by his descendants to honour the patriotism of Yang Hwon, who distinguished himself during the Manchu invasion of 1636. Yang Hwon rallied righteous army volunteers from the Changnyeong area to fight the Qing forces besieging Namhansanseong Fortress. Records state that Gwangsan Seodang was built in 1935. The school also taught later generations of students and is even equipped with a library for storing books.
