Hancheonjae Hall, Hapcheon

Gwon Jip-deok (dates of birth and death unknown) belonged to the Andong Gwon clan. According to the Daedong Sebo, the comprehensive genealogical record of the Andong Gwon clan, he held the official post of gunjagamjeong, director of the Gunjagam (Military Supplies Office), and is referred to by the epithet Gamjeonggong, the founding ancestor of a branch of the Andong Gwon clan that has long resided across the western Yeongnam region. The record of the ridge-raising for the rebuilding of Hancheonjae, contained in volume 5 of the Agyangjip, states that the hall was originally built to honour his memory some 300 years earlier. The present ridge-raising inscription at Hancheonjae records the date as sangwon gyeongsul hu jeongsa (1917), and the repair record for Hancheonjae states, as written by Myeong-hui, a 17th-generation descendant, in the fifth month of a jeongsa year, that Jae-chun, Jong-byeong and Mun-im, seeing that the hall was on the point of collapse, planned its reconstruction and built a large hall. The building is of high value both as a legacy of Confucian cultural tradition and as material for education.
