Sungkyunkwan University, First Public Display of 'Sodongpa' Jinjeok... Also Available for Online Exhibition

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Sungkyunkwan University Museum will unveil the Song Dynasty literary figure So Dongpa's authentic work "Baeksusanbuljeoksayugi (1095)" for the first time at the 39th special exhibition "Paduwanbyeok" running until the 24th.

The exhibition can also be viewed online through Kakao Gallery on the portal Daum, and general admission is by reservation. Baeksusanbuljeoksayugi is a famous poem written by the Song Dynasty poet So Dongpa during his travels to Baeksusan, widely referenced by many literati throughout history. The authentic "Mokseokdo" by So Dongpa recently sold for a record high of 67 billion KRW at a Christie's art auction.

This piece was purchased by Geomyeo Yu Huigang in the late 1950s when the heir of the Papyung Yoon clan, who was related to him, emigrated to the United States. It is one of the Southern Song Dynasty pavilion documents bestowed by Emperor Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty to King Chungsuk, given to Yi Eonchung upon his appointment as a meritorious subject, and later passed to Yoon Wonmu during the time of Yi Gwanggi, Yi Eonchung's son.

"Paduwanbyeok" means the heart of So Dongpa and the artistic spirit of Chusa Kim Jeonghui, a phrase that Geomyeo Yu Huigang, who often used the pen name Sowanjae, personally interpreted. This exhibition is especially meaningful as it is the second donation exhibition following the 2019 "Geommu" exhibition, which showcased the works of Geomyeo Yu Huigang, an alumnus of the predecessor institution Myeongnyun College and regarded as the greatest calligrapher since Chusa.
