Story of Sir Haeng
Hyuncheon-dong Gamunae (Guhmunae) Village in the jusisdiction of Daedeok-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang has a long history.
The Min Family of Yeoheung have lived in Hyuncheon-dong Gamunae (Guhmunae) Village located northside of the Daedeog Mountain for hundreds of years.
This Hyuncheon-dong Gamunae (Guhmunae) Village is related to the Sir Haengchon Min Soon, the great scholar of mid-Joseon period.
Since early age, Sir Min Soon enjoyed studying and calligraphy, and townspeople all said that he would become a great scholar.
However, his family was so poor that they could not buy paper.
So Sir Min Soon would practice writing calligraphy or poems on the leaves in the mountains, and ink would flow into the stream, turning it black during the rainy seasons.
This place became Hyeoncheon, after black ink making up the stream.
With this reason, the nearby townspeople call this village gumennae and now it is called by guminae or gamunae.
The tomb and memorial stone of Sir Haengchone Min Soon of this Gamunae Village are designated as Goyang Regional Cultural Assets.
Sir Haengchon Min Soon was one of the Eight Great Scholars of Goyang enshrined at Munbongseowon Confucian Academy, the representative Confucian academy of the city of Goyang. He is a representative figure of this city.
