The tomb of Mr. Ki-Eung Se

The tomb of Mr. Ki-Eung Se is located in the Sageunjul village in Sungsa-dong. There is a twin grave which is the grave of Mrs. Lim of Sunsan.

The marble tombstone(height 120 centimeters, width 40 centimeters, thickness 18 centimeters) right in front of the burial mound was placed in the 19th year of the King Sunjo's reign(in the year 1586) and the roof of stone stupa of the Jangmyeongdeung is left laying down in front of the tombstone.

There are two tombstones and a Sangsuk, Hyangrosuk and a Mangjuseok, and a pair of Muninsuk in the right and left side of the tombstone in front. The Muninseok in the right side and left side is regarded as a valuable thing because of its unusual facial expression and because it was relatively made in detail.

Also one can see the handwritings of the master calligrapher, Hanseokbong, and Jujibeon of Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Ki-Eung Se(1539-1585) is the government official of the mid Joseon era and is a devoted son and the adult name is Kyeong Oo, and the grandson of Bokjae Kijun who is from Goyangpalhyun, and is the son of Ki Dae Hang who was in the public office(Han Sung Pan Yoon), and the father of Ki-Ja Hun who was the prime minister of the Joseon Dynasty and is from Haengju.

He had a filial behavior in the usual days so he received a monument from King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty and was rewarded and written in the Samgangrok.
