Yongjusa 1

Yongjusa is a temple founded by King Jeongjo. Originally, this place was the site of Gilyangsa, established in the 16th year of King Munseong of Silla (854), and during the early Goryeo period, the water and land rituals were held here. However, due to frequent wars and destruction, it was abandoned. Later, when King Jeongjo moved the tomb of his father, Crown Prince Sado, to Hwaseong and built the main temple, it is said that on the night of the inauguration ceremony, King Jeongjo dreamed of a dragon holding a yeouiju jewel ascending to heaven, which led to naming the temple Yongjusa. The main cultural heritage of Yongjusa includes the Yongjusa Bell (National Treasure), Yew Tree (Natural Monument), Gilt-bronze Incense Burner (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), Bronze Incense Burner (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), Sangryangmun (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), Copies of Scriptures (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), Folding Screen (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), Main Buddha Hall Back Wall Painting (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage), and Buddhist Scripture Block (Gyeonggi-do Tangible Cultural Heritage). Yongjusa, founded out of King Jeongjo’s filial piety, was rebuilt to pray for Crown Prince Sado’s rebirth in paradise and is a place where the spirit of filial piety lives among the cultural heritage passed down by ancestors. Through the kind guidance and detailed explanations of the [Yongjusa Filial Piety Museum], visitors can discover the wisdom needed in life from the relics left by our ancestors.

Yungneung is the tomb of Crown Prince Sado (Emperor Jangjo) and his wife Lady Hong of the Pungsan Hyeon clan (Empress Heongyeong). When Jeongjo ascended the throne, he honored his father as Jangheon-seja, and in 1899, Jangjo was posthumously honored as emperor. At that time, Lady Hong was also posthumously honored as Empress Heongyeong. Yungneung is a joint burial tomb (hapjangneung) where the emperor and empress are buried together under one mound. In 1762 (Yeongjo 38), when Jangjo (Crown Prince Sado) died after being confined in a wooden rice chest by order of his father King Yeongjo, a tomb was established on Baebongsan in what is now Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, called Su-eunmyo (Tomb of Bestowed Grace). In 1776, after Jeongjo ascended the throne, he bestowed the honorary title Jangheon-seja on his father and elevated the tomb to a won, naming it Yeonguwon (Eternal Protection Garden). This was because Jangheon-seja was not only crown prince but also the father of the king, so the tomb was named a won. Later, in 1789 (Jeongjo 13), Jeongjo moved Yeonguwon from Baebongsan to its current location on Hwasan in Suwon and renamed the won to Hyeonryungwon (Illustrious Prosperity Garden). In 1815 (Sunjo 15), Empress Heongyeong (Lady Hong) died and was interred in Hyeonryungwon the following year. After the proclamation of the Korean Empire in 1899 (Gwangmu 3), when Jangheon-seja was posthumously honored as Emperor Jang, the won was elevated to a neung and renamed Yungneung. Geonneung is the tomb of the 22nd Joseon king Jeongjo and Empress Hyoeui Kim. Jeongjo was highly filial, appointed many talented officials, and established the golden culture of late Joseon. Geonneung is also a joint burial tomb where the emperor and empress are buried together under one mound. Geonneung was constructed in 1800 (Jeongjo 24), after Jeongjo's death, on the eastern hill of Yungneung (then the Hyeonryungwon of Crown Prince Sado). However, due to geomantic concerns, it was decided in 1821 (Sunjo 21), after the death of Empress Hyoeui, to move Geonneung. The tomb site was set on the western hill of Yungneung, the current location, where Jeongjo was first enshrined, followed by Empress Hyoeui in a joint burial.
