Life and History of Yeongju Seonbi Scholars: 'Going to Meet the Seonbi' Family Camp.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Unexpectedly, 'Seonbi' gathered at Sosu Seowon in Yeongju, Gyeongbuk.

The Seonbi Spirit Practice Movement Headquarters held a Seonbi Family Camp program for two days starting from the 18th, allowing participants to experience the lives of Yeongju's historical figures and Seonbi.

The camp was organized to provide an easy way to learn about Yeongju's historical figures by utilizing Sosu Seowon, a representative cultural heritage and World Heritage site of Yeongju, and to offer an opportunity for families to communicate while experiencing and learning about the Seonbi way of life through various activities.

About 140 families participated in the event, gathering at the Sosu Museum where the program was introduced. After changing into Seonbi costumes, participants walked around the Sosu Seowon area and met historical figures such as Ju Se-bung, Toegye Yi Hwang, and Geumseong Daegun.

Actors dressed as historical figures presented the Seonbi and events of Yeongju in an easy and entertaining way from the children's perspective, providing a fun and engaging opportunity to learn history through watching and listening.

Participants also learned the etiquette and traditional games of the old Seonbi through tea ceremony experiences and Hwagatunori, directly experiencing the lifestyle of their ancestors.

At the seminar room of the Sosu Seowon Museum, they attended a lecture titled "Very Easy Seonbi Stories," learning about the Seonbi spirit such as consideration and respect, integrity, loyalty, and filial piety.

The event concluded with the presentation of Seonbi Family Certificates to 42 families who completed the camp.

A citizen who participated in the program said, "This camp, utilizing excellent local cultural resources, became a precious opportunity for our children to experience both fun and educational value."

A representative of the Seonbi Spirit Practice Movement Headquarters said, "It was even more meaningful that many families participated in this significant time to learn about local figures and Seonbi at the precious World Heritage site, Sosu Seowon."
