Taean Hyanggyo
Korean name태안향교
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
In 1407, General Kim Jung-gu built a hyanggyo with a thatched hut in Sayang-dong, and invited Saengwon Choe Sang-un from Deoksan as haksa, which was the beginning of the hyanggyo. Originally thatched, it was expanded and rebuilt with tiles during the reign of King Sejong, and was repaired in 1901. Existing buildings include the Daeseongjeon with a gable roof of 5 bays in front and 2 bays on the side, as well as Myeongnyundang, Dongmu, Seomu, Dongjae, Seojae, and Sammun. Taean Hyanggyo still opens filial piety and loyalty classes and, during summer vacation, provides students with social education directly helpful in real life, so today's hyanggyo is drawing attention as a social education institution. Taean Hyanggyo, boasting a long history of about 580 years, can be seen as the first educational institution appearing in documents from the perspective of Taean's educational history.
