Joryeong Sanbuldyosimpyoseok

This is a stone marker erected to raise awareness of the danger of forest fires in the mountains, made from an unshaped natural stone. On its western face, the words 'sanbuldyosim' — an old spelling of 'beware of forest fires' — are carved vertically in large, pure Hangul characters. In the Joseon period, the first priorities in guarding the nation's borders and mountain fortresses were to forbid the passage of ordinary people and to watch for forest fires, so it appears that this marker, written entirely in Hangul, was erected so that commoners could easily understand this. Valuable precisely because it is inscribed purely in Hangul, the marker is presumed to date from the reigns of King Yeongjo and King Jeongjo of Joseon, judging by its archaic spelling 'dyosim' rather than the modern 'josim' (care).
