"Call those who have died in memory." Goyang-gu, Goyang-dong, Goyang-si a story of Yeodan

If you look at the old map of Goyang City, you will see the place of Goyang Yeodan on the top (north) of Goyang-Gun Government .

The Yeodan is the altar that was created to comfort the inhabitants of the people, especially the people who have died unjustly among the dead of the platoon.

The appearance was similar to the resignation of the western part of Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul.

In the first year of King Taejong, a Yeodanje was implemented. At first, the first brigade was established in the north of Hanyang. The first proponent is Goryeo Kang, a professor at the early Joseon Dynasty, who is a professor at Koryo.

After that, the Yeodan system was extended to the whole country and a brigade was formed in the Upper Army.

It is confirmed that it is located in the area of Daegu-dong in the mid-term and in the area of Goyang-dong in the late Joseon period. Field survey results have now disappeared without trace.

The Yeodan rituals are very significant in the history of Goyang City as follows.

1. The government also offered sacrifices to the general public.

2. There were 20 different types of spirits, including those who died at a young age, women who died in childbirth, and people who were killed, and they held separate rituals at the left and the right wing.

3. Generally, in the Joseon Dynasty, there were many sacrifices for the ruling class such as the King and the King, but sacrifices to comfort the unjust soul for the purpose of prevention of infectious diseases were very rare.

4. The record shows the size, material, and shape of brigade.

5. In the old map, Yeodan was marked at a distance close to Goyang County Office, so the country considered the ordinance very important.

A brigade built to comfort the soul for the people who died in every town in the country. It is a scene of history where our ancestors' people's love of the people is embedded.

Although the original location can not be restored to its original shape due to development, the brigade's spirit and spirit of the brigade is an intangible cultural heritage to be imitated today.
