Introduction to Daegu Bususeongbi
The Daegu Bususeong Monument was erected by Kim Se-ho, who took office as Gyeongsang Province Governor and Daegu Dohobusa in August 1869 (the 6th year of King Gojong's reign), to commemorate the repair of Daegu Castle in 1870.
Daegu Fortress was built by Min Eungsu, the governor of Gyeongsang Province, during the reign of King Yeongjo to prevent invasion by foreign enemies.
Afterwards, the walls were damaged due to the age of the castle, but they were not properly repaired. Kim Se-ho started the repair work in the spring of 1870 (the 7th year of King Gojong's reign) and finished the work in November, recording this process in the Daegu Fortress Monument.
The monument is erected on a square support stone and has a roof stone raised.
The inscription contains information about the construction and the awards given to those who made meritorious contributions.
Inspector Kim Se-ho personally composed the epitaph, and Choi Seok-ro, who was in charge of construction at the time, wrote the inscription.
In the 10th year of Gwangmu (1906), Daegu Buseong was demolished and it lost its place. In 1932, it was moved to the grounds of Daegu Hyanggyo, and in 1980, it was moved to its current location when Yeongnam Jeilgwan was recreated.
Daegu Busususeong Monument stands together with Yeongyeongchukseong Monument, a tangible cultural property of Daegu Metropolitan City.

Introduction to Yeongyeongseongseong Monument
This monument was erected to commemorate the rebuilding of the Daegu Earthen Fortress, which was torn down during the Japanese invasions of Korea, with stones.
This monument, located in Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu, is rectangular and has a simple body erected on a stone floor.
According to the inscription, the circumference of the castle is 2,124 paces, four gates were built, and a warehouse with provisions and war guns to defend the castle was placed.
The construction period for the stone castle is 6 months, and the number of people mobilized is 78,534.
After the castle was completed, various merchants were gathered together and an archery competition was held with prizes awarded.
Min Eung-su, the governor of Gyeongsang Province, suggested to the government that it be erected at Gwandeokjeong Pavilion outside the south gate of Daegu in the 13th year of King Yeongjo's reign (1737). Min Eung-su composed the epitaph and Baek Sang-hwi wrote the calligraphy.
In 1906 (the 10th year of King Gojong's reign), Daegu County Governor Park Jung-yang tore down Daegu Eupseong Fortress and built a road, moving it to the old Dalseong-gun Office (currently Daegu Department Store). In 1932, it was relocated to Daegu Hyanggyo and moved to its current location in 1980. It was moved to (Yeongnam Jeilgwan) and preserved along with the Daegu Bususeong Monument.

Image source: Korea Tourism Organization
Introducing the Lee Gongjebi and the Governor Lee Hu Beom-seon’s permanent and insolvent monument.
These are three monuments standing in a single monument in Iseo Park near the berm where Daegu's Sincheon flows.
The one on the left is Yi Gongjebi, built by local residents to commemorate the achievements of Yi Seo, who served as a Daegu judge.
At that time, Daegu suffered great damage every time a river flowed through the center and flooded.
Lee Seo, who was appointed as a Daegu magistrate in the year of King Jeongjo's accession to the throne of Joseon (1776), became aware of the difficulties faced by the residents, and in 1778, he used his wealth to build an embankment to divert water.
The residents who escaped the damage from the flood called the newly created stream Sincheon, named the embankment Igongje, and erected this monument in the 21st year of King Jeongjo's reign (1797) to commemorate him.
Originally located on the west bank of Suseong Bridge, it was moved to this location.
The monument in the middle was rebuilt in the 5th year of King Sunjo's reign (1805) to commemorate the shabby monument of Lee Gong-je next to him.
The Monument to Governor Yi Beom-seon, standing on the right, was erected in the 3rd year of Gwangmu (1899) and commemorates the achievements of Lee Beom-seon, who was the head of Daegu during the reign of King Gojong.
When a major flood occurred in 1898 and damaged the downstream part of the Igongje River, making Daegu-eupseong dangerous, Beom-seon Lee completed the repair work in a quick period of time, alleviating the concerns of the residents.
To repay this, the residents here erected a monument in the 3rd year of Gwangmu's reign (1899).
Every year on the first full moon of the first lunar month, a memorial service is held under the auspices of the Deoksui Clan Association.

Daegu aunt’s monument

Introduction to Daegu aunt’s monument
Among the older people's favorite songs, [Raining Great Aunt] is a song written by composer Park Si-chun and sung by singer Hyeon-in in 1946, which touched the hearts of countless people.
If you go to Gomoryeong, the place where this song is set, there is a monument to the song of Gomoryeong in the rain, and the story behind the monument is written on the back of the monument.
[When I let go of my mother's hand and turned around, even the owl cried. I cried too. I miss that night when we came over the ridge where the leaves were fluttering. How many years after the cockscombs bloomed and fell? The love we made behind the water mill. How strange is it that I can't forget it? When will we get past the rainy Gomoryeong? A life filled with tears. How many hills did we have to climb? In a tavern where the Jangmyeong lantern flickered, writing down the sorrow written in my palm, I will sing it again tonight.] A long time ago, in Gomoryeong, there was a single mother who raised her young siblings without a husband. A monk came and said that this family was poor now because they had not cultivated virtue in their previous lives, so the mother and young siblings built a mountain out of clay to cultivate virtue. It became the three peaks of Mobong, Hyeongbong, and Jebong, which are now known as Mobong, Hyeongbong, and Jebong. When her mother saw her older brothers jealously fighting to build the world higher, she was so disappointed that she left home, feeling guilty that she had raised her children incorrectly.
The road I walked endlessly after leaving the house is now Gomo-ryeong. When I reached the top and looked back towards the house, the name Go-mo (顧) to look back on and the suffix “mo” (mo) were combined to form the village name Go-mo.
Now, the mountain has been cut down for the Gyeongbu Line, and the old hill that runs from Mangu Park through Park Hotel Palhyeon Village to Gomo Station continues.

Myeongjae Mo
Image source: Korea Tourism Organization
Introduction to Myeongjae Mo
Momyeongjae is a shrine built by the Dureungdu clan to commemorate Dusachung, who served as a reinforcement for the Ming Dynasty during the Japanese invasions of Korea and became a naturalized Korean.
[Momyeongjae] means longing for the Ming Dynasty, the homeland.
Du Sachung was from Dureung, China, and was dispatched to Joseon as a general under Ming Dynasty Admiral Lee Yeo-song when the Japanese invasions of Korea broke out.
Du Sachung was in charge of the position of amphibious land planner, who examined the terrain and determined suitable locations to establish a camp.
Therefore, Du Sachung, as Lee Yeo-song's first-class advisor, had close strategic and tactical consultations with the Joseon military.
When the Japanese invasions of Korea were subdued, Du Sachung returned to his hometown, but when the Jeongyu Jaeran broke out, he took his sons Dusan and Du Ilgeon and went to war again with his brother-in-law, Jinrin Dodok.
After the war, Du Sachung became a naturalized citizen of Joseon along with his two sons, and the government granted Du Sachung land in the area of Daegu City Central Park (now Gyeongsang Gamyeong Park).
Afterwards, when the Gyeongsang Gamyeong moved to the land given to Du Sachung, Du Sachung gave up his land and moved to Gyesan-dong to settle down.
It is said that Du Sachung, who missed the wife and brothers he left behind in his home country, moved his house under Mt. Choijeong (currently Daedeoksan Mountain), named the neighborhood Daemyeong-dong, built an altar, and paid homage to the Forbidden City, where the Ming Emperor was located, on the first day of every month.
Momyeongjae is placed facing south on a square piece of land and is built as a hip tile-roofed house with double eaves, 4 rooms on the front and 2 rooms on the sides.
In addition, there are ondol rooms on the left and right around the main hall, and a half-kan sized toekan in the front.
Momyeongjae clearly shows the style of residential architecture in the Daegu area in the early 20th century.
When Gyeongsan Gaeksa was torn down in 1912, Momyeongjae was built in front of Dusachung's grave by his descendants using the timber. The building was renovated in 1966 because it was too old.
It is known to be the first place Chinese tourists visiting Daegu visit, and it was recently renovated through a redevelopment project.
A Korean traditional culture experience center is opened next door to Momyeongjae and is offering a tea ceremony hanbok experience, archery, and Donguibogam food experience, so you can experience it at the traditional center as well.

Introduction to Dokmujae
Dokmujae is a memorial shrine built by his literary figures and Confucian scholars to commemorate Ha-chan, who refused to hold a government position and lived in seclusion in his village, devoting himself to nurturing future generations.
Ha-chan was born in 1750 (the 25th year of King Yeongjo's reign) in what is now Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu, and studied under Kim Gyeong-ho and Song Seong-dam, scholars of the time.
He built Dokmuamru, 50 meters west of where Dokmujae stands today, trained younger scholars, and wrote two volumes of Pallyejeolyo.
It was originally located along the Gyeongbu Line railway near Gyeongbuk Gas Station in Hyomok-dong, Dong-gu, but was moved to its current location in April 1968 with the opening of the 3rd bypass road in Daegu City.
In the southwest of Dokmujae, this city, a separate wall was built and a new shrine, Gyeongdeoksa Temple, and a new Jangokgak (panggak), where the Pallyejeolyo and Yeorammun engravings were stored, were built.
Nearby are Dongchon Park Square Amusement Park, Daegu National Meteorological Science Museum, Ayang Art Center, and Mangudan Park, which are all worth a visit.

Image source: Korea Tourism Organization
Introduction to Gosan Seodang
It is not known when or who built Gosan Seodang in Seongdong, Suseong-gu, but it is presumed to have been built in the 1500s because Toegye Yi Hwang (1501-1570) and Woobok Jeong Gyeong-se (1563-1633) studied here.
In the 16th year of King Sukjong's reign (1690), a shrine was built behind the Seodang to enshrine the memorial tablets of Toegye and Woobok, and it was called Gosan Seowon.
In the 10th year of King Yeongjo's reign (1734), a new east and study hall were built, but after they were demolished in the 5th year of King Gojong's reign (1868) by Heungseon Daewongun's order to abolish the Confucian Academy, in 1879, the 16th year of King Gojong's reign, a lectureship group was organized centered around local Confucian scholars and an auditorium was built on the old site. It was rebuilt again and named Gosan Seodang.
In May 2020, Sunghyeonsa Temple, a shrine, was restored, the Dongo Seoseon of the Dalseongsiphyeon was additionally enshrined, and the memorial tablets of the three saints were enshrined.
Currently, a monument to the lectures of Lee Hwang and Jeong Gyeong-se stands at the site of the old shrine.
The protected tree of Gosan Seodang is a 300-year-old zelkova tree, and the largest of the protected trees is known as the Lee Hwang tree, which was planted by Lee Hwang himself when he visited Seowon.
The remaining trees are also called Jeong Gyeong-se trees to commemorate Jeong Gyeong-se's studies here while he was the governor of Daegu and to honor his achievements.
