[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Jasin History Compilation Committee in Jasin, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, held a publication commemorative event for "The History of Jasin" on the 25th.

The publication commemorative event held in the front yard of Sijungdang in Jasin Gyejeong Forest was attended by about 90 residents of Jasin-myeon and expatriates.

The commemorative event began with a report on the progress of compiling the history of Jasin, followed by a commemorative speech by Chairman Lee Jong-won, congratulatory speeches by Mayor Choi Young-jo of Gyeongsan, Chairman Lee Gi-dong of the Gyeongsan City Council, and Director Lee Bu-hee of the Cultural Center, and the presentation of merit and appreciation plaques.

"The History of Jasin" began collecting materials and writing in January 2018, and in March of this year, the compilation committee and advisory committee were formed to complete the work over four years based on local history materials from the Silla period to the present.

With a total of 782 pages across 11 chapters, it records the history and lifestyle of Jasin, and the appendix includes historical materials revealed for the first time.

The book will be mailed to various institutions, public libraries, and university libraries starting December 6, and will be distributed free of charge at the Jasin-myeon Administrative Welfare Center.

Chairman Lee Jong-won said, "I am grateful to all the residents of Jasin-myeon and expatriates who worked hard for the compilation," adding, "I hope to publish a revised edition including Namsan, Yongseong, Jinryang, and parts of Aplyang, which were formerly part of Jasin-hyeon, and expect this to be the cornerstone for future historical publications."

Mayor Choi Young-jo said, "This is not only material exclusive to the residents but also a valuable historical resource for Gyeongsan City," adding, "It will enhance local pride and affection for the hometown and serve as an opportunity for residents to unite."

Chairman Lee Gi-dong of the City Council said, "It is especially meaningful that the historical records compiled through the will and support of the residents have been published," adding, "On the 30th anniversary of local autonomy, we will make the council more trustworthy and approachable to citizens."
