Andong

Andong lies in the upper Nakdong River country, a region renowned for its Confucian scholars and old family settlements. At Hahoe, the Pungsan Ryu family established a village in the late Goryeo period. The philosopher Yi Hwang taught at Dosan, where his followers founded Dosan Seowon in 1574, four years after his death. Its lecture hall and shrine preserved both his teaching and his memory.
