Daewoljae Hall

Daewoljae Hall was built as a space for lecturing and study by Kim Chwi-mun, a distinguished official of the mid-Joseon period. The name 'Daewoljae' is taken from Zhu Xi's Gyeongjaejam (Admonition on Reverence), and the calligraphy is said to have been written by Haegwan Yun Yong-gu. The building was first constructed in 1543; it was partly destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea and restored in 1677, after which it was used as a village school (seodang) and clan meeting hall, before being rebuilt again in 1868. Kim Chwi-mun (1509-1570) was a native of Pyeongseong (Deulseong), Seonsan, and a disciple of Songdang Park Yeong. He passed the civil service examination in 1537, rose through a succession of offices to the senior second rank, and during the reign of King Myeongjong was selected for the honour roll of incorruptible officials (cheongbaengni). He also holds an important place in the Neo-Confucian scholarly lineage transmitted from Ya-eun Gil Jae, through Gangho Kim Suk-ja, Jeompiljae Kim Jong-jik, Hanhwondang Kim Goeng-pil, Sindang Jeong Bung and Songdang Park Yeong, to Kim Chwi-seong, Park Un and Kim Chwi-mun.
