Gongangongjeongok -shaped Chungjeonggongjeongeungdu Spirit-path Stele

This is the sindobi, a memorial stele set up along the spirit path to a tomb to record the deceased's life, erected at the tomb of Gongangong Jeong Ok-hyeong and Chungjeonggong Jeong Eung-du. 'Gongangong' and 'Chungjeonggong' are posthumous titles bestowed after death, and Jeong Ok-hyeong and Jeong Eung-du were father and son. Jeong Ok-hyeong (1486–1549), whose ancestral seat was Naju and whose pen name was Wolbong, was enfeoffed as a third-class Meritorious Subject of Protection and Assistance (boikgongsin) for his part in removing the Daeyun faction after King Myeongjong's accession. His son Jeong Eung-du (1508–1572) served as Jwarang (Assistant Section Chief) of the Board of Personnel and as Minister of War, among other posts. Two spirit-path steles stand side by side inside a stele pavilion at the entrance to the tomb area. They originally stood in the Haengsin district of Goyang but were moved to their present location in October 1988 because of urban development. Both follow the bangbu-gaeseok style, in which the stele body is set on a square base and topped with a roof stone. The spirit-path stele of Jeong Ok-hyeong bears text composed by Hong Seom and calligraphy by the celebrated calligrapher Han Ho (pen name Seokbong), with the seal-script title written by Nam Eung-un. It was erected in 1584, the seventeenth year of King Seonjo. The spirit-path stele of Jeong Eung-du bears text composed and written by Nam Gu-man, with the seal-script title written by Choi Seok-jeong. It was erected in 1728, the fourth year of King Yeongjo.
