Tae-sil and Monument of King Yejong

The Yejongdaewang Tomb and Stele are a tomb (taesil) and a commemorative stele dedicated to the fetus of King Yejong, the eighth ruler of the Joseon Dynasty. A "taesil" is a place where the umbilical cord of a royal child is kept after birth. Originally located on the back mountain of Taesil Village in Wondeok-ri, Guui-myeon, Wansan-gun, it was later moved to its current location. This tomb and stele are representative examples of royal tombs and commemorative steles from the Joseon Dynasty, and are important cultural heritage sites that showcase the royal culture and the "taesil" culture of the Joseon Dynasty. The tomb consists of a stone foundation placed within an octagonal stone enclosure, with a round stone placed on top and covered with a roof stone. The stele, which was moved along with the tomb, has inscriptions on the front and back indicating that it commemorates the tomb of King Yejong, and also includes the year of its construction, which was the 11th year of King Seonjo's reign (1578). The stele features a well-preserved turtle-shaped base and a headstone with carvings of a dragon without horns.
