Story of Haenghogwanuhdo, painting of old Goyang by Sir Gyeomjae Jeongseon
Chosun Dynasty Painter Gyeomjae Jeongseon of the time of King Youngjo and King Jeongjo painted Goyang area and Han river in the spring of 1741.
The name of the painting is Haenghogwanuhdo, one of his greatest works.
In 1741, Gyeongjae Jeongseon went to Neungseon of Gaehwa Mountion the new governor of Yangcheon, beyond Han River.
And looking over the famous Haengju and Han River, he painted.
Small boat catching anchovy, willow trees, mountains and stresams of Goyang, many houses of tile-roof and thatched roof of Gooyang are depicted. At a closer look, one can see that the shape of the scenery such as mountains of Gyeondal, Deogyang, and Gamak are very much like the real ones.
With this single painting, Goyang Haengju Mountain Fortress Historical Park was built on the place where Goyang’s barbed-wires were removed. Now it’s a place where many people visit.
In one side, anchovy boat was restored. The best regional product of Haengju Mountain is anchovies. Anchovies were goods donated to the king that represented Goyang, and the anchovies caught under the Haengju Mountain Fortress was of the best quality, so good that a temporary office called wui-uh(anchovy) was built.
Having recently climbed the Gaehwa Mountain and seeing the city of Goyang where Sir Gyeomjae painting the city, astonished me with all the tall buildings.
