Hamabi - Jongmyo Shrine Dismount Marker
Hamabi is one of many such stones set up around the entrances to the important state institutions of Joseon Dynasty, including the royal ancestral shrine and royal palaces, commanding visitors or passerby to show respect by dismounting from their horses. The first such markers were wooden signs posted at the entrances to the royal ancestral shrine (Jongmyo) and royal palaces in 1413. However, these were replaced by stone markers in 1663 when Jongmyojeongyo Bridge, which leads to the royal ancestral shrine, was renovated. The name of the markers originated from the text engraved on the front surface: 'All officials, whatever their rank, are required to dismount from their horse'. Gradually, dismount markers were set up in other places, including the Munmyo Confucian Shrine and the birthplaces of great sages and scholar-statesmen.
