Confirmed the tyranny of Yunsangun in the field, Geumpyobi in the era of Yunsangun
Designation number: Cultural asset 88
location: 10-2 Daeja-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
Yunsangun is closely related to Goyang-si.
He made his aunt, a wife of Wolsandae-gun, die, and prohibited all others from accessing the Goyang-si areas so that only he could play there. Geumpyobi is the record vividly showing the circumstances at that time.
Areas near Goyang-si were devastated in the beginning of Yunsangun in the early 16th century. In the 10th year of Yunsangun (1504), he demolished all the private houses outside of castle to play and hunt and blocked transportation for citizens by blocking all the roads towards Hansung except for the areas of Noryangjin.
Becoming slaves, citizens started blaming him, and Goyang-si belonged to Yangju.
In 1506, he ended up dying as he was banished to Ganghwa due to the rebellion against Jungjong that each gun was restored including Goyang-gun while reforming the misgovernment of Yunsangun.
Geumpyobi in the period of Yunsangun was built to demolish the areas in Goyang-gun in the period of Yunsangun repelling all the citizens and determining the non-accessible aeas for his entertainment. This is the memorial stone that is easily found in the road connecting Seoul and Uiju. Geumpyobi is the one and only memorial stone in Goyang-si and also in Korea.
In front of Geumpyobi, there is a statement saying that anyone entering this area will be executed without trial. Especially, he removed everything in Goyang-areas from 1504 to 1506 prohibiting people from living there. Anyone violating this rule had their three sets of relatives died.
This Geumpyobi shows the tyranny of Yunsangun in the field as an important cultural value.
