This instrument is a geomungo, a traditional Korean instrument.

Then who owns this geomungo?

It was a geomungo made and played by Okdong Yiseo (1662–1723).

He was the third brother of Seongho Yi Ik (1681–1763).

Seongho Yi Ik is a famous scholar of the Joseon Dynasty.



As you can see in the picture, there is a poem engraved on the back of Okdonggeum.

This poem was also engraved by Okdong Yiseo.

It enhances the artistic form of the old geomungo.

This geomungo is a cultural heritage that clearly shows the appearance of Korean instruments in the early 18th century.

You can see Okdonggeum in Seongho Memorial Hall in Ansan.

Isn't it interesting that instruments can be priceless relic?

It takes about 35 minutes on foot or 15 minutes by car from Jungang Station.  There aren't many people on weekdays, but on weekends it gets very crowded. Inside the park is campsite,  a large lake, an art gallery, and an industrial museum.  First, the name of the lake is Hwarangji. This lake can be said to be the representative lake of this park.  The view of this lake is amazing no matter the weather.  And Lake Lee has various charms for each season. Cherry blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, reeds in autumn, and frozen lakes and snow in winter.  The second is Hwarang Auto Campground.   This is literally a campground. Here you can just do camping, glamping, and caravan camping.  Just being here makes me feel better.  However, you can only come to this place by making a reservation, and the reservation process is quite difficult. ...

    Today, I went to Ansancheon stream. I would like to introduce it to you, too. Ansancheon stream is in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si. It is really near from my house. This is the scenery of Ansancheon that I can see at home.  Ansancheon is a place for  Chinese Egrets. Chinese Egrets are natural monuments. They are also birds of Ansan. I think it's really amazing that Chinese Egrets live in Ansan. It's good that I can see the wonderful Chinese Egrets when I want to. I couldn't see many Chinese Egrets today, but I was glad that I found pictures of them. First one is taken by me, and the others are pictures that I found on the Internet. Chinese Egrets looked reallly pretty. I think Ansan should protect the environment to protect the wonderful Chinese Egrets.  Ansancheon is also good for bike-riding, too. When you ride along Ansancheon, you can get to Sihwaho or Hwaseong-si. It is fun to ride bike to other cities. There are lots of people enjoying bike rid...
