This stone stele, erected in 1722, honors the deeds of a young woman named Nongae (?-1593) who sacrificed her life for the country during the Japanese invasion of 1592-1593. In 1593, Jinjuseong Fortress fell into the hands of the enemy. A celebrator banquet was held by the Japanese troops where Nongae performed. She lured a drunken Japanese general to the river bank, embraced him and, pulling him with her, threw herself into Namgang River, killing them both. The story of Nongae had been passed down orally until the scholar and writer Yu Mong-in (1559-1623) wrote it down in a collection of miscellaneous stories and made it known to the wider public. In 1629, Jeong Dae-ryung (1599-1661), a Confucian scholar from Jinju engraved Chinese characters on the rock from which Nongae is said to have jumped. The inscription reads 'Rock of Righteousness'. In 1722, commoners and scholars of the Jinju area joined forces to erect this stone stele. In 1741, a commemorative pavilion was built to house the stele. At the front of the pavilion a plaque with an inscription reads 'The Commemorative Gate of the Heroic Nongae'. A portrait and spirit tablet of Nongae are enshrined in Uigisa Shrine inside Jinjuseong Fortress.
