고려 윤관(尹瓘)의 묘비편(墓碑片)과 묘소(墓所) = The Epitaph and Graveyard of Yoon Gwan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In 1764(year 40 of King Young-Jo), an epitaph of Yoon Gwan was found in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. He was a prime minister of Goryeo dynasty and well-known as a man who conquered Yeojin Tribe. The epitaph was half-broken when it was found and only 26 words in it could be identified. Contents of it were about the aquisition of a new pen name as the Vassal of Merit with an appointment as the Vassal for King Ye-Jong in 1130, the change of his posthumous name and the fact that his epitaph was re-erected.
As the epitaph was found, the government of Joseon Dynasty officially approved that the graveyard in Paju, Gyeonggi-do is the grave of Yoon Gwan. In addition, his descendant believed that this graveyard had built just after his death. However, according to an epitaph of his son, Yoon Eon-ih, the initial graveyard of Yoon Gwan was located around Gaegyeong which was the capital of Goryeo and Yoon Eon-ih was also buried round about his father in 1150. Meanwhile, the present graveyard of Yoon Gwan in Paju was already existed in 1481. Therefore it is not the initial graveyard of him and was moved from Gaeseong in late Goryeo or early days of Joseon Dynasty.
