- Gugangseowon Confucian Academy
- The Seowon (Confucian Academy) was a place for educating Confucian scholars during the Joseon period including through lecture, enlightenment and ancestral rites. Gugangseowon Confucian Academy enshrines the ancestral tablets of Jeong Mongju and Yi Eonjeok. The Hyangrye (rite of drinking) is held to commemorate the merit and virtue of these two ancestors every spring and autumn. Is it not worthy of being a real space for history education?
