Susungdae(Big Rock) in Geochang, GyeongNam

1 Introduction to Susungdae in Geochang.

Geochang Susungdae is Guyeon-dong in front of Hwangsan Village, Hwangsan-ri, Wicheon-myeon, Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do.


During the Three Kingdoms Period, it was the border area between Silla and Baekje, and during the Joseon Dynasty, it was part of Anui-hyeon. During the Japanese colonial period, it was incorporated into Geochang-gun due to administrative district reorganization, and has remained there to this day.


During the Three Kingdoms Period, when Baekje and Silla were at odds, Susungdae was a place where envoys from Baekje to Silla bid farewell. At first, they were worried that they would not be able to return, so it was called Susungdae (愁送臺), using the characters for worry (愁) and send (送).


Susungdae means a place with such beautiful scenery that you can forget the worries and concerns of the secular world, and it is also likened to a Buddhist name.


After that, during the reign of King Jungjong of Joseon, Master Yosu Shinkwon (樂水 愼權) built Guyeonseodang (龜淵書堂) here while living in seclusion and trained his disciples. The shape of the platform resembled a turtle, so it was called Amgudae (岩龜臺) and the area was called Guyeondong (龜淵洞).


The current name came from 1543, when Master Toegye Yi Hwang (退溪 李滉) came to visit Anuihyeon Samdong and stayed in Marimyeon Yeongseung-ri. He heard the story and, due to urgent political matters, he could not come here. He sent a poem in the form of a four-stringed poem, suggesting that the name be changed to Susungdae (搜勝臺), which had the same pronunciation, and Yosu Shinkwon engraved it on the surface of the platform.


Within the grounds, there are Guyeonseowon, a shrine, Naesammun, Gwansuru, Jeonsacheong, Yosujeong, Hamyangje, Jeongryeo, Sangosujangbi, Yuksibi, and Amgudae, which are jointly managed by Confucian scholars and the Geochang Shin clan's Yosujongjung. The pine forest, water, and rocks combine to create a beautiful scenery, and rare plants such as orchids grow natively in and around Jagoam.

Bibimbap mixed with rice, Ttara Gukbap eaten separately

Image
   Korean food culture is a soup culture, which is distinct from the Western culture of eating in small plates. Also, our bibimbap culture is integrated, so it is easy to communicate (if you go to a local festival, you will see a culture where rice and various vegetables are put in a large bowl and mixed with a large spoon), but on the other hand, there is also a separate soup culture. Also, bibimbap culture is a culture of fusion. In foreign countries, it is well known as a healthy and well-being food due to the use of vegetable vegetables. It can be said that bibimbap is a major food along with kimchi, bulgogi, and gimbap. This bibimbap is a food that puts various vegetables in rice, which is a grain, and tops it with gochujang, which can be seen as a type of sauce, and various ingredients such as egg yolk are often used to create shape and color. Sundae gukbap and somori gukbap are representative examples of these types of soups, and can be commonly found in almost every to...

It was designated as a national fishing port on December 29, 1995.

Jukbyeon Port, located in Geunbuk-myeon, Uljin-gun, is famous for catching squid and pollack. It was originally called Bukbin because it was a seaside with many bamboo trees, but was renamed Bukbyeon and Bukbyeon-dong.

Jjajangmyeon - Noodles of Korean Memories

Image
 Jjajangmyeon, along with jjambbong and tangsuyuk, is a popular Chinese food, but it is a type of K-food that was newly created after being modified to suit Korea. In the late 19th century, when Incheon Port opened, workers from Shandong Province in China came to Korea and ate noodles mixed with soybean paste as a simple meal, missing the taste of their hometown. Jjajangmyeon began to be sold in earnest in Incheon Chinatown. Among them, Gonghwachun opened in 1883 and is known as the oldest Chinese restaurant in Korea. It is said to be a funny Jjajangmyeon and a sad crying noodle. Jjajangmyeon is a type of food that can be eaten simply, like Chungmu Gimbap from Chungmu, Gyeongnam Province. There are various types, such as Muljjajang, Spicy Jjajang, Seafood Jjajang, and Jajangban. It is said that Jjapaghetti and Jjajangroni are popular among the public. ​ Jjajangmyeon reminds Koreans of their childhood memories, so it is a food eaten at elementary or middle schoo...
