Yangpyeong Gonghangyesun Burial Ground

Han Gye-sun (1431–1486), posthumously titled Lord Yangpyeong, belonged to the Cheongju Han clan. For his service in suppressing Nam I's rebellion, he was awarded the merit title of meritorious subject (gongsin), styled Suchung Bosa Byeonggi Jeongnan Ikdae, and was invested as Lord Cheongpyeong. This burial ground is the ancestral graveyard of the Cheongju Han clan, where Han Gye-sun's grandfather Han Sang-gyeong and his father Han Hye are also buried. Han Gye-sun had three wives — his first wife of the Seongsan Yi clan, his second wife of the Andong Gwon clan, and his third wife of the Namwon Hwang clan — and he is buried together with his second wife, Lady Gwon, in an upper-and-lower grave arrangement. In front of each mound stands a grave marker with a lotus-leaf-shaped head (hayeopsu) and a pair of stone civil-official statues. A stone lantern (jangmyeongdeung) stands before Han Gye-sun's grave. The stone statues and grave markers are in the style of the fifteenth century, while the stone lantern is in the style of the late sixteenth century, showing that they were made at different times. The spirit-path stele (sindobi) has a lotus-leaf-shaped head set on a square base, but its inscription is badly worn. The text was composed by Kim Yu at the request of Han Gye-sun's nephew, Yi Gye-dong, who held the post of Deputy Magistrate of Hanseongbu.
