Jeong Yak-Yong's Retreat in Gangjin-Pt. I

This weekend I took a short trip south to Jeong Yak-Yong's retreat in Gangjin. In the late 1700's Jeong apparently grew disillusioned with happenings around what is now Seoul. Deciding self-exiling himself was a good idea, he moved as far south as possible and established a Roman Catholic temple, and his own retreat where he composed, under the pen-name "Dasan", and taught students on his way of thinking, and on his philopsophy. He wrote around 500 books in his 18 year exile. These are the steps going up from the greeting house of the temple compound looking up at the temple.
