1 Introduction to Hyanggyo in Gimje
Hyanggyo is a national educational institution established during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties to enshrine the memorial tablets of Confucius and great Confucian scholars, hold memorial services, and educate and enlighten local residents.
During the Joseon Dynasty, instructors received land and slaves from the state and taught students, but the educational function was abolished when modern education began in earnest with the Gabo Reform in 1894.
It was founded in 1404 (the 4th year of King Taejong’s reign), but was destroyed during the Imjin War. It was rebuilt in 1635 (the 13th year of King Injo’s reign), and has undergone several repairs to reach its current state.
The existing buildings include Daeseongjeon, Myeongnyundang, Dongmu, Seomu, Dongjae, Seojae, Manhwaru, Gyojiksa, and Naesammun.
Gimje Hyanggyo operates a Confucian experience program and offers a haegeum lecture to learn about Seokjeon Daeje and learn about music.
