Bukhansan 3.1 March First Independence Movement Amgakmun Gate
3.1 Independence Movement Amgakmun Gate is craved on the granite stone of Baekunbong, the main peak of Mt.
Bukhansan. The written script is, firstly the 4 letters of ’Gyeongcheonaein’ on a flat rock, sized 150cm horizontally and 270cm vertically, and inside it said “The Independence Declaration was written by Choi Namsun on Giminyeon Feb 10, and on 1 March I have proudly declared Independence at Topdong Park.” It is not known exactly when and when the text was written, but it is estimated to be after the 3.1 Movement, and the purpose seems to be to permanently convey the historical facts of the gigantic independence movement. Jeong Jaeyong, who craved the text, was an independence activist, born in 1886 in Haeju. After starting the 3.1 Movement, he returned to Haeju and continued to fight for independence until he was arrested by Japanese in 1920 and imprisoned in Pyeongyang prison for 2 and a half years. He died at the age of 91 in 1976. The next year in 1977, he was awarded for the National Foundation Medal, and the same medal again and the National Foundation Recognition Medal in 1990.
