Deung Gyeong Dol - Jing Gyeung Dol - Rock
People who live in the village of Seongsan call this rock DeungGyeongDol (Lamp Rock) or JingGyeongDol rock. Villagers have a custom of blowing a horn four times when passing by. The first two blows are for goddess Sulmundaehalmang, a benevolent and beautiful creator of Jeju. The last two blows are for General Kim Tong-Jeong, who sacrificed himself protecting his country from the Yuan Dynasty at the end of Korea's Goryeo Dynasty. Legend has it that Goddess Sulmundaehalmang carried dirt with her skirt to make the island during the day, and by night she would sew her skirt torn from the day's labor. It is said that this is the rock Goddess Sulmundaehalmang used to set her lamp upon for sewing. It is also told that when General Kim Tong-Jeong was building a fortress in Seongsan Village to protect the country, he jumped around the rock to train his body and mind. The footprint on the middle of the rock is believed to have been thus carved. In olden days villagers held ancestral rites and prayed for prosperity of the village and for families to live in peace.
