Uiseong

Ŭisŏng lies in the inland country of northern Kyŏngsang, among hills and tributaries of the Naktong River. The district had a long history of settlement before it entered the kingdoms of the peninsula. During the Japanese invasions, Yi T'akyŏng, a staff officer to the provincial governor, recorded events from 1592 to 1598 in his diary Chŏngmallok. The work preserves a detailed account of the war as he witnessed it.
