Story of Songhang Village
Songgang Village is an old village near Gongreung River in Sinwon-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si. It is a small town where about 15 families live now.
Calling this place Songkang Village is deeply related to Jeong Cheol of Songgang, who is famous for being a politician, literary man and poet in the mid Joseon Dynasty.
Sir Songgang stayed here for the mourning of his parents' passing and many times during his lifetime. Even now, there are the Songgang Literary Museum and the mausoleums of parents and brothers of Songgang.
Right behind the literary museum, there remains a grave of a righteous gisaeng (female artist) named Kang-ah.
In fact, the mausoleum of Sir Songgang was also here, and now it has moved to Jincheon, Chinbuk by Sir Uam Siyeol Song.
At the entrance to the Songgang village, there are ten monuments bearing Songgang's poems and his activities in the Songgang Village.
Every year, with the support of Goyang City, the Songgang Culture Festival is held under the supervision of the Goyang City Native Culture Preservation Society.
