Gyeongju Yuyeonjeong Pavilion

Yuyeonjeong is a pavilion built by the Andong Gwon clan in 1811, the eleventh year of King Sunjo, to honour their ancestors; it enshrines the spirit tablets of the Goryeo-period eminent monk Gwon Haeng, together with Gwon San-hae and Gwon Deok-rin. Following the nature philosophy of the poet Tao Yuanming, it was built on the Yongchudae rock in the valley about 50 metres east of Ungok Seowon, and forms a fine harmony with the surrounding scenery. The building is three bays wide and two bays deep, and is roofed with a hip-and-gable (paljak) roof that forms the shape of the Chinese character 八, meaning "eight", when seen from the side. Gyeongju Yuyeonjeong is a building that offers a glimpse of the Confucian thought of our ancestors; it harmonises well with the natural scenery around it and clearly shows the characteristics of early-nineteenth-century architectural technique.
