장소 소개
Cheongju Hyanggyo was a national school in the Cheongju region during the Joseon Dynasty that enshrined the memorial tablets of outstanding Confucian scholars, held rites for them, and was responsible for educating and moralizing the local people. It is believed to have been founded during the reign of King Taejo of Joseon, and it is the foremost Confucian school in the Three Souths (Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang provinces) that was visited by King Sejong in 1444 to present books to Cheongju Hyanggyo, and also by King Sejo in 1464 when he visited Cheongju, where he personally performed a ritual at Munmyo Shrine. Later, in the 9th year of King Sukjong’s reign (1683), the magistrate Lee Eon-gi moved it to its current location, and it was repaired several more times afterward. Currently, six auxiliary buildings remain, including Daeseongjeon, the ritual space, and Myeongnyundang, the educational space. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was operated by receiving land, slaves, books, and other items from the government, but after the Gabo Reform of 1894, its educational function disappeared and only its ritual function remained, preserving its former appearance.
