Introducing Compassionate Construction Fees
Onjeong Gaeonbi is a monument erected in 1766 (the 42nd year of King Yeongjo's reign) to commemorate the contributions of Dongrae Busa Kang Pili, who extensively renovated Onjeong (hot springs). The epitaph was written by Song Gwang-jeok.
The monument made of granite is 144cm high and 61cm wide. It is composed of a body stone and a supporting stone instead of a separate headstone, and a stone bathtub remains in front of the monument.
The first record of Dongrae Hot Springs appears in <Samguk Yusa>, and it is said that Chungwon-gong, Prime Minister of Silla, took a bath here and returned.
<Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam> records that the water in the hot spring was hot enough to cook an egg, and that the king of Silla visited the place several times because the sick got better after taking a bath.
According to the inscription, two baths were made of stone in 1691 (17th year of King Sukjong's reign). Afterwards, the building was old and the baths were clogged, so Dongrae Busa Kang Pi-li rebuilt them and built a 9-kan building with separate men's and women's baths, which has a refreshing appearance. It is written that it is so splendid that it resembles a pheasant flying.
The site where the monument is currently located is where hot spring water was extracted from Busan City until the 1960s, and the Yonggak, where ancestral rites are held every year on September 9th of the lunar calendar, to commemorate the Dragon King God remains.

Ancient Tombs in Bokcheon-dong, Busan
Image source: Korea Tourism Organization
Introduction to the ancient tombs in Bokcheon-dong, Busan
These are Gaya period tombs located on a hill in Bokcheon-dong, Busan.
Over 40 tombs have been identified through several excavations, but most of the tombs still remain underground.
The types of tombs are: a double-panel tomb where the ground is dug to create a large room and a wooden coffin is placed (tomb with a wooden coffin), a pit-type stone chamber tomb where the walls are built with square stones in the ground and the ceiling is covered (pit-type stone chamber tomb), and a plank tomb where the body is buried directly in the ground. There are several types of tombs, including .
It is also called the Haksodae tomb group, named after the original name of the hill.
Since the first 10 tombs were excavated by Dong-A University between 1969 and 1972, Pusan National University excavated three tombs on the eastern slope of the hill in 1974.
From 1980 to 1994, more than 100 ancient tombs were excavated six times by the Pusan National University Museum and the Busan City Museum.
Many of these tombs were large and had not been robbed, and more than 2,000 different artifacts were unearthed.
Earthenware, including curved plates (gobae), wooden jars (janggyeongho), and earthen lamps, are characteristic pottery from the lower Nakdong River region of the 4th and 5th centuries.
A variety of iron armor and helmets were also unearthed.
In particular, the short armor from Tomb No. 4 is the first armor discovered in Korea.
The gwae-gap excavated in No. 11 was found complete with all accessories, and this is the first time such a finished product has been discovered in Korea.
The horse harness discovered in Tomb No. 10 was the first to be found fully equipped for combat use.
These armors and helmets are the same as those depicted in Goguryeo tomb murals.
A new tomb style was discovered in the Bokcheon-dong tomb, providing important clues to research on the evolution and flow of tombs.
* Significance of the Bokcheon-dong Ancient Tombs in Busan * Similar examples can be seen in the Hadae Ancient Tombs in Ulsan, the Daeseong-dong Ancient Tombs in Gimhae, and the Dohang-ri Ancient Tombs in Haman.
At first, a style in which both the main nest, where the body was buried, and the subordinate nest, where relics were buried, were used, then the main nest was a pit-shaped stone nest, and the subordinate nest was a nest, and finally, the subordinate nest was used. This shows the process of being abolished as a stand-alone pit-type stone shingle, but soon replaced with a front-pitched stone room.
A significant amount of unearthed pottery serves as a standard for the chronology of Silla and Gaya pottery.
Additionally, characteristically, a lot of armor and helmets were unearthed.
In addition to armor and helmets, many weapons made of iron, such as horse armor and horse headgear, were unearthed, showing that horses were used for fighting at the time.
On the floor of the burial facility, ingots are sometimes laid out in one to three rows.
There is a record of iron being used as a substitute for currency in the Byeonhanjo of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Considering that iron serves as a material for making other iron items, it is highly likely that it was used as currency at the time.

Dongrae-eup Holy Site

Introduction to Dongrae-eup Castle Site
Dongrae-eupseong Fortress is a fortress built in the typical Pyeongsanseong (flat mountain fortress) style in an area that includes the hilly area from the mountain behind Chungryeolsa Temple where Dongjangdae is located, through Maansan Mountain to the mountain behind Dongrae Hyanggyo where Seojangdae is located, and part of the flat land that is the current center of Dongrae city. It is a representative town castle with all the advantages of flat land and land.
Dongrae-eupseong Fortress, which is believed to have been built between the late Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasties, was the biggest battle site in the early days of the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592 (the 25th year of King Seonjo's reign), where all civil, government, and military forces, including Dongnae Busa Song Sang-hyeon, united as one and fought a fierce battle against the Japanese army. no see.
In 1731 (the 7th year of King Yeongjo's reign), the castle, which had been neglected after the Japanese invasions of Korea, was built by Jeong Eon-seop, the governor of Dongrae, who considered the importance of Dongrae as the gateway to the country, and built a fortress much larger than the castle built at the time of the Japanese invasions of Korea. This is the origin of Dongrae-eupseong Fortress, of which traces remain.
Dongrae-eupseong Fortress has an east gate, west gate, south gate, north gate, life gate, and cancer gate, and each gate has a gate tower. The east gate is Jihuiru, and the west gate is Simseongru. The south gate was called Muuru (無憂樓), and the female gate was called Eunilru (隱一樓).
In addition, an Ikseong (翼城) was installed at the South Gate, which was an important gate tower. It had a double structure of Sebyeongmun (洗兵門) at the front and Jujomun (朱鳥門) at the back, and the West Gate, Ammun, and North Gate were used to protect the castle gate. To this end, Ongseong (a castle built in a semicircle in front of the castle gate to protect it from enemy attacks) was built, and Jangdae (a building installed on a high terrain within the castle to monitor enemies outside the castle or command battles) was built. , It was equipped with a watchtower and 15 bastions.
During the Japanese colonial period, in the name of urban planning, the flat wall from the west gate to the south gate was demolished, and the wall from the south gate to the east gate was also occupied by private houses, leaving only the mountainous area centered on Maan Mountain with traces of the castle remaining.
Through excavation surveys following various development activities within Dongrae-eupseong Fortress since 2000, traces of the fortress from the time of the Japanese invasions of Korea (Eupseong in the early Joseon Dynasty), traces of the fortress in the flat area built after the Japanese Invasion of Korea, and fortress walls renovated in the late Joseon Dynasty were identified, thereby providing an overview of the entire Dongrae-eupseong Fortress. It provides valuable clues to research into the exact scope, scale, etc.
Busan City is pursuing excavation and continuous repair and restoration in areas where it has been damaged, neglected, or where remaining castle ruins are identified, focusing on existing castle sites.
