Song Dynasty (1)

WORD

The Song dynasty (; Chinese: 宋朝; 960–1279) was an imperial dynasty of China that began in 960 and lasted until 1279. The dynasty was founded by Emperor Taizu of Song following his usurpation of the throne of the Later Zhou. The Song conquered the rest of the Ten Kingdoms, ending the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The Song often came into conflict with the contemporaneous Liao, Western Xia and Jin dynasties in northern China. After retreating to southern China, the Song was eventually conquered by the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty.

Jeonjuhyanggyo is estimated to have been built in the 3rd year of King Gongmin of Goryeo (1354). It was originally located in Pungnam-dong (north of Gyeonggijeon Shrine), and relocated to the current location, which is east of Jeonju-bu Castle in 1603 (King Seonjo 36). The relocation was made as they believed the original location contradicted the traditional customs that enjoined the placement of the Confucian shrine on the left and Sajikdan altar on the right, facing south from the office building. The structure of Jeonjuhyanggyo is based on the 'shrine in the front and lecture hall in the back' style that has the altar in the front. Confucius and the Four Saints are enshrined in the center of Daeseongjeon, and the Ten Wise Confucius' Disciples and the Six Sages of Song Dynasty are placed on the left and right side, respectively. The Eastern and Western Buildings enshrine the Seven Sages of China and the Eighteen Sages of Korea. Behind Daeseongjeon, the academic area is located, where Myeongnyundang Lecture Hall is in the center, surrounded by the Eastern and Western Buildings on the left and right. In the front gardens of Daeseongjeon and Myeongnyundang, placed two ginkgo trees in each garden, which are reportedly four hundred years old. The Ginkgo tree is a symbolic object for Confucian School, as it is resistant to pests that the Confucian disciples should resemble the ginkgo trees to become a righteous person. Many Confucian scholars have lived in Jeonju Hanok Village, inculdeing Woldang Choi Dam, who gave up fame and prestige for filial duty. Ganjae Jeon Wu was called the last Confucian scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, and his three disciples (Geumjae, Yujae, and Gojae) gathered here, especially during the Japanese Colonial Era. Ganjae Jeon Wu (1841-1922) was a neo-Confucian scholar in the late Joseon dynasty. He was born in Jeonju. He created the neo-Confucian terminology, including Seongjonsimbi, inheriting the theories of Yulgok Yi Yi. Called the last Confucian scholar of the Joseon dynasty, Ganjae taught many disciples moving from island to island following the teaching of Confucius that stated 'when the truth can't be practiced, go to the sea on a raft.' Following the national humiliation that occurred in the year of Gyeongsul in 1910, he wrote about 60 books. The disciples of Ganjae were very active around the Jeonju Confucian school.
