Martyr Yu Gwansun and Manhae Han Yongun's Resting Places Explored... Kyungsung University’s 'Modern and Contemporary History and Culture Tour'

The HK+ Project Group of the Korean Hanja Research Institute at Kyungsung University and the Korean Literacy Society held an event titled "Exploring Modern and Contemporary History and Culture with Hanja" at Mangwoo History and Culture Park on the 17th.

The exploration site, Mangwoo History and Culture Park, is a space commemorating about 7,000 symbolic figures of modern and contemporary Korean history, where pioneering patriots, cultural artists, and politicians such as Sofa Bang Jeong-hwan, Manhae Han Yong-un, and martyr Yu Gwan-sun rest.

During this event, a tour course was prepared to understand the Hanja characters engraved on the tombstones of representatives of modern and contemporary history and their meanings, with the course guidance and explanations provided by a guide within Mangwoo History and Culture Park.

The exploration team is visiting the tombstone of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho.

About 30 participants, including internal members of the institute, external professors, and general applicants, attended the event.

Participants shared their impressions, saying, "This exploration gave me a chance to directly feel the modern and contemporary history of Korea," and "It was nice to heal while walking through the forest and to see the tombstones of many famous figures."

Professor Lim Hyun-yeol, head of the Regional Humanities Center at the Korean Hanja Research Institute who prepared this event, said, "Our center conducts not only domestic explorations but also overseas ones," adding, "In mid-August, we plan to conduct a high-quality exploration specialized in Hanja content in Xi'an, China."

The HK+ Project Group of the Korean Hanja Research Institute at Kyungsung University and the Korean Literacy Society signed an agreement to promote mutual cooperation and will continue to hold events that contribute to supporting popular humanities and enhancing community welfare.
