Wooyi-dong was reverted to Pungsan Hong's family by Yigye Hong Yang-ho. After Yigye passed the state examination, he tried to own Wooyi-dong which his ancestors' tombs were. At last Wooyi-dong changed ownership from Duksoo Yi's family to Pungsan Hong's family. He found scenic spots of Wooyi-dong and put them on record managing a cottage in Wooyi-dong. Gwanam, who took over from Yigye, left more systemantic work about Wooyi-dong, and he also found beauty spots.
What is the modern meaning of these documents that Yigye and Gwanam tried to decorate beauty of Wooyi-dong about two hundred years ago? When we appreciate Gwanam's poems about Wooyi-dong, we cannot help depending on Gwanam's record. The reason is why Wooyi-dong now changed as much as we cannot imagine in comparison with it in his days. There are a lot of differences between his attitude, which made his space with ancestors' breathing recognized beautifully and decorated, and modern thoughtless development. This land isn't our own things forever and ever. If we perceive that we have borrowed and lived here, we can leave more beautiful environment to our descendants. This is the precept that, about two hundred years ago, Yigye and Gwanam's documents related to Wooyi-dong gives us, I guess.
