Gwihujae Hall, Gyeongju

In the latter part of the Joseon period it became a general trend for every village to build a seodang or ganghakdang, a lecture hall for educating the young, and Gwihujae belongs to this category as a lecture hall built for the youth of a clan. Historically, Gwihujae can be given significance as the representative lecture hall of the Yeogang Yi clan, who have lived at Oksan for about 450 years. Considering that it predates the Ganghakdang (National Folk Cultural Heritage, built in 1870) and the Allakjeong (National Folk Cultural Heritage, built in 1780), the leading seodang of nearby Yangdong Village, and that its function as a teaching hall was maintained even after the Korean War by Yi Ji-ha, a twenty-sixth-generation descendant, it has been judged desirable to designate and preserve it as a cultural asset, and it is accordingly designated as Cultural Heritage Material.
