Deogyusan Hyangjeokbong(Peak) that I Want to Visit

1 Introduction to Deogyusan Hyangjeokbong

Deogyusan Mountain, which rises in Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, is like a mother mountain with numerous peaks and deep valleys.

Hyangjeokbong Peak (香積峰, 1,614m) standing tall in the center is the highest peak of Deogyusan Mountain and a famous place boasting beautiful natural scenery.

Just like its name, this place with clear and clean energy presents diverse beauty in all four seasons and constantly attracts hikers.

In spring, the area around Hyangjeokbong Peak transforms into a gorgeous wildflower colony.

Azaleas and rhododendrons bloom red, and unknown wild flowers show off their fresh vitality.

In particular, the flowers blooming in the highlands near the summit are impressive, showing strong vitality even in the harsh environment.

In summer, Hyangjeokbong Peak is covered in lush greenery, casting a cool shade.

As you enjoy trekking along the deep green forest path, your sweat will soon cool down in the cool breeze.

When you stand at the top, the endless blue mountain ranges are spectacular, and on a clear day, you can even see Jirisan in the distance.

Autumn is the peak of Hyangjeokbong.

The entire mountain is covered in red and yellow maple leaves, creating a landscape that looks like a giant firework.

The sight of the colorful maple leaves fluttering in the wind is like a watercolor painting.

In particular, the red sunset and the maple leaves at sunset create an unforgettable beauty.

In winter, Hyangjeokbong is covered in white snow, boasting a magnificent and mysterious snowy landscape.

The snow flowers and frost blooming on each tree branch look like silver sculptures.

The surrounding scenery viewed from the snow-covered peak makes you feel as if you have entered another world.

However, it is important to wear thorough safety equipment and go with an experienced hiker when climbing in winter.

Hyangjeokbong has a relatively gentle hiking trail, so it is a place that anyone of any age or gender can challenge.

You can climb to the summit relatively easily by taking the gondola from Muju Resort, which is why more and more people are visiting.

There is a small shelter and a signpost at the summit, and you can take a short break while enjoying the wide open view.

Deogyusan Hyangjeokbong is more than just a mountain peak; it is a special place that offers beautiful nature, clean air, and unforgettable memories.

This place, where you can enjoy the beauty of nature that changes with the four seasons and regain vitality in your mind and body, always leaves visitors with deep impressions and lingering emotions.

If you visit Muju, Jeollabuk-do, be sure to climb Hyangjeokbong and experience its beauty for yourself.

The secret of Joseon royal tombs explained through geomancy

I have included the special meaning discovered at Hwaseong-si's Yunggeonneung, the geomancy interpretation of Gonsinji, in WordPress.

Let's go beyond a simple visit and feel the deep wisdom contained in Joseon royal tombs.

Yunggeonneung, where King Jeongjo's filial piety is embedded, and Gonsinji is at the center of it

Yunggeonneung is the name of the Yungneung of King Yeongjo, the 21st king of Joseon, and his son, King Jeongjo, and his son, King Hyo-ui, and his son, King Jeongjo, the 22nd king.

Situated under Mt. Suwon, it was also called 'Hwasanneung', and it is said that King Jeongjo often visited Yungneung out of filial piety.

Yunggeonneung, which was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, has not only historical value but also an interesting geomancy point.

1. In search of the secret of Gonshinji, geomancy

Yungneung has an artificial pond, Gonshinji (坤申池), built according to the principles of geomancy.

As someone who has always been interested in geomancy, I was curious about how Gonshinji was built.

Although it was possible to approach Jeongjagak below Yungneung, the area around the tomb was blocked by iron fences, making it difficult to determine the exact direction.

Usually, you need to place a patch on the tomb or the soul stone and measure it to determine the exact direction.

2. The direction of Gonshinji inferred from Jeongjagak and management office data

I inferred the direction of Gonshinji based on what I examined at Jeongjagak and the data I obtained from the management office.

When Yungneung is viewed as Gyejajeonghyang (癸坐丁向), the direction of Gonshinji is Jeongmipa (丁未破).

However, Jeongjagak points to Jeongmihyang (丁未向), and it does not seem to be in an exact straight line with the tomb.

This is a common feature that appears in other royal tombs.

3. The meaning of Gonsinji as interpreted by the 88-hyang method

If we analyze it again using the 88-hyang method, the bureau of Yungneung is judged to be Mokguk (木局).

The exact location of the wave (波) was difficult to confirm, but it seems that Gonsinji was created because there should be a wave in Gonsinji under the premise of a jjaesaejeonghyang.

In this case, the wave becomes the left-turning water (左旋水).

If the direction of the tomb could only be set by the direction of the account, then in the 88-direction method, if the water (pond) is placed in the direction of the Son-sa-hyang (巽巳向), it becomes the direction of the right yang (正陽向), if it is placed in the direction of the Im-ja-hyang (壬子向), it becomes the direction of the declining fetus (衰向胎流), and if it is placed in the direction of the Gon-sin-hyang (坤申向), it becomes the direction of the right mausoleum (正卯向).

[Additional text]

This posting was written based on limited information and personal opinions, not the results of directly climbing the tomb and measuring with a patch.

There can be various interpretations of Pungsu-jiri, so please read it with this in mind.

We will try to share more accurate information through future field investigations.

Cauldron-shaped Rock, Jeongam

 

1 Introduction to Cauldron Rock.

Uiryeong Jeongam: A mysterious rock that resembles a pot lid and the legend of a rich man

A mysterious rock rises above the blue waves of Namgang River in Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. It is called Jeongam (鼎巖), or Cauldron Rock, because it resembles a pot lid. This unique rock, firmly established in the gently flowing river, is not just a natural landscape, but also has a long history and interesting legend, captivating visitors.

2 A lid floating on the Namgang River, the unique appearance of Jeongam

At the Namgang River, which flows powerfully toward the southern coast, and passes through Uiryeong-gun, Jeongam, which stands tall in the middle of the river, has a strange shape that resembles the top of a cauldron, just like its name. 

The sedimentary rock, which has been eroded and polished by the river over a long period of time, fully reveals the mystery of nature. What is particularly noticeable are the three foot-shaped shapes hidden under the water. 

This creates the imagination that it is as if a giant cauldron is immersing its legs in the river, and adds to Jeongam’s unique charm.

3 The mysterious energy that calls for wealth, the legend of Jeongam

There is an interesting legend handed down about Jeongam since ancient times. It is said that a great rich man is born within an 8km radius of the cauldron rock. 

This legend seems to have been created by stimulating people’s imagination by combining the unique shape of Jeongam and the rich natural environment of the surrounding area. Even if it is just a story that has been handed down, the hearts of those who look at Jeongam and pray for wealth are no different now than they were in the past.

4 A place where you can feel the breath of history, Jeongamjin

Jeongam is not just a strange rock, but also a place with historical significance. The rock is located at Jeongamjin (鼎巖津), or ferry site, where General Gwak Jae-u defeated the Japanese during the Imjin War. If you walk along Jeongamgyo, an iron bridge that crosses the Namgang River from the sidewalk below the gate, you will not find any traces of the fierce battle at the time, but you can feel the bravery of our ancestors who tried to protect the country while looking at the leisurely flowing river.

5 Beautiful night view and nearby attractions

The route to Jeongam is not difficult. It is located about 10 minutes by car from Gunbuk IC on the Namhae Expressway, so it is easily accessible. If you climb the iron and sleeper stairs next to the gate, you can view Jeongamjin, which commemorates General Gwak Jae-u's exploits. In addition, beautiful lighting facilities are installed at Uiryeong Gate, so you can enjoy an even more splendid and magnificent night view at night. Jeongam, where you can reflect on its historical significance during the day and enjoy its beautiful night view at night, will provide an unforgettable experience for those visiting Uiryeong.

1. Introduction to Dongbaekjeong Pavilion: A Journey Through History and Nature

1.1. Serene Location by the Busancheon River Nestled amidst the serene embrace of a mature pine forest, locally known as Hakdeung, along the gentle currents of the Busancheon River – the upper reaches of the Tamjin River – lies the captivating Dongbaekjeong Pavilion.

1.2. A Tranquil Escape into Korean Heritage This historical landmark, a testament to the refined aesthetics and scholarly pursuits of the Joseon Dynasty, offers a tranquil escape and a glimpse into Korea's rich cultural heritage.

1.3. Panoramic Views from Hogyecheon River To truly appreciate the panoramic vista of Dongbaekjeong Pavilion in its entirety, a recommended vantage point is the banks of the Hogyecheon River. 

Here, near the charming Hogye Village, the pavilion stands gracefully, seemingly suspended between the verdant foliage and the flowing water, creating a scene of timeless beauty.

1.4. Founded by Scholar Kim Rin in the Joseon Dynasty The origins of Dongbaekjeong Pavilion trace back to the 4th year of King Sejo's reign (1458) during the illustrious Joseon Dynasty. 

It was in this era that Dongchon Kim Rin, a distinguished figure who held the esteemed position of Left State Councilor, chose this idyllic location for his retirement. 

Seeking a life of seclusion and scholarly pursuits, Kim Rin constructed a residence, and subsequently, the pavilion that would become known as Dongbaekjeong.

1.5. The Poetic Name Inspired by Camellia Flowers The name "Dongbaekjeong" itself carries a poetic resonance, derived from the Camellia japonica flowers that once flourished with remarkable abundance in the surrounding area. 

Imagine the vibrant crimson blossoms contrasting against the deep green of the pines, creating a spectacle of natural artistry that inspired the pavilion's name. 

This connection to the natural landscape underscores the harmony between human creation and the environment that was often valued in traditional Korean architecture.

1.6. Rebuilt Legacy by Descendants in 1872 While the original structure has witnessed the passage of time, the current Dongbaekjeong building stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Kim Rin and the dedication of his descendants. 

It was meticulously rebuilt in 1872 by his posterity, preserving the essence of its historical significance while incorporating the architectural styles prevalent during that period.
