Hyoja Isin Memorial Gate Stele, Miryang

This memorial gate (jeongnyeo) was erected in honour of the filial devotion of Gyeeun Isin (李申). When his parents died, Isin sustained himself on gruel alone while tending their graves with the utmost care, showing exceptional filial piety. Isin held official posts, including jipyeong of the Saheonbu (Office of the Inspector-General), during the reign of King Gongmin of Goryeo, and impeached those who sought to overthrow the Goryeo dynasty and found Joseon in its place. It was only in the reign of King Taejong of Joseon that his filial conduct came to be known, and the memorial gate was erected.
