Stand Samjae, Miryang

This shrine was built to honour the loyalty and filial devotion of Kim Yu-bu (1549–1621), who fought bravely in the Japanese invasions of 1592–1598 and the Manchu invasion of 1636, and the fidelity of his sons Kim Gi-nam and Kim Ran-saeng, who died in battle during the Manchu invasion, and of their wives, Lady Choe and Lady Song, who took their own lives following their husbands' deaths. Kim Yu-bu, who had excelled at martial arts since childhood, resolved to go to the battlefield when the Japanese invasion broke out. Unable to leave his elderly mother behind, however, he carried her on his back and fought bravely alongside the righteous army. His sons Kim Gi-nam and Kim Ran-saeng likewise died fighting the enemy during the Manchu invasion, and on hearing the news, their two wives retrieved their bodies from the battlefield and then took their own lives. Because this family embodied loyalty to the nation and devoted service to their parents and husbands, the shrine took the name Stand Samjae, meaning "the hall exalting the three virtues" of loyalty, filial piety and chastity.
