Yeosu Jong High School Alumni Association 2021 97th Regular General Meeting Held

Promotion of Designation Project for Jinnamgwan Area and Samdosugun Tongjeyeong Cultural Festival

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Sim Kyung-taek] Yeosu Jonggohoe (President Seong Hae-seok), a representative hometown association of Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do, held the 97th regular general meeting of 2021 at the Matthieu Hotel on the 5th.

At the meeting, the 'Jeolla Left Naval Command and Samdosugun Tongjeyeong Cultural Festival Designation Project Promotion Committee' was formed to restore Jinnamgwan, a patriotic sacred site in the Yeosu area.

Jinnamgwan, National Treasure No. 304, is a building that belonged to the Jeolla Left Naval Command during the Joseon Dynasty. It was a naval base that led to victory in the Imjin War and the Jeongyu War, and is a historical site that fulfilled its mission as a patriotic sacred place, symbolizing Yeosu.

Old maps related to Samdosugun Tongjeyeong (Jeolla Left Naval Command) include Haedongjido (1750), Bibyeonsa Inbang Anjido (18th century), Yeojido (18th century), Jeollanam-bukdo Yeojido (18th century), Hojwasuyeongdo (1847), and the 1872 local map - Suncheonbu map.

Meanwhile, Yeosu City started the 'Basic Plan Survey for the Restoration of Samdosugun Tongjeyeong (Three Naval Commands) Dongheon Area' in May 2015, securing "materials stored at the National Museum of Korea and the National Archives," analyzing and organizing old documents, old maps, modern photographs, and closed cadastral maps, and establishing a basic framework for restoration through analysis of the architectural layout of the Dongheon complex.

The city planned to restore seven buildings in the Dongheon complex, including Unjujeon and Gyeolsungdang, which were used as government office buildings of the Joseon Samdosugun Tongjeyeong, in the Gunja-dong and Dongsan-dong areas around Jinnamgwan by 2022. However, the project has faced setbacks due to difficulties such as the excavation of relics.
