Yeongi Hyanggyo
Korean name연기향교
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Hyanggyo was a national local educational institution established during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties to hold memorial services for great Confucian scholars and educate local residents. Yeongi Hyanggyo was originally located west of Yeongi-ri, then moved to the south of Yeongi-hyeon in 1649, and relocated to its current site in 1684, undergoing several renovations to reach its present state. The remaining buildings include Daeseongjeon Hall, Myeongnyundang Hall, Jegigo Hall, Jeonsacheong Hall, Naesammun Gate, and Donghyeommum Gate. Daeseongjeon Hall is the space for memorial services, enshrining the memorial tablets of Confucius and various sages, while Myeongnyundang Hall is where students studied and held discussions. Yeongi Hyanggyo also houses a monument to the achievements of local officials and a Cheokhwabi stele erected by Heungseon Daewongun. Currently, the operation of the hyanggyo is managed by one jeongyo and several jangui, with Seokjeon rites held in spring and autumn, and incense burned on the first and fifteenth days of each month. The roster of hyanggyo Confucian scholars, the jeolmok regulations related to hyanggyo education, and 17th-century Yeongi hyangan and hyangyak materials are preserved here, serving as valuable resources for research on the local history of this region.
