Song Duk-bong, who was the person of the 16th century, studied in the study atmosphere of parents` home, mother` parents` home and husband`s home. When considering her family background, she was familiar with Confucian classics and history and poet. Her study trend might be affected by her father, Jun, or her brother or cousins, it seems that she was significantly affected by her grandfather, Lee In-Hyung, and her husband, Lyu Hui-Chun. Song Duk-Bong tried to be familiar with the life of Neo-Confucianism by accepting it actively. At that time, Neo-Confucianism was a new study trend that was adopted in real scale and life style. Because of this reason, she could be praised as a strong, outstanding woman by her husband and husband`s family. Song Duk-Bong had an outstanding ability in home operation. She was very thorough about her home control. She changed remained money into cotton by using market or was thorough about her home control by using individual ledger. In addition, she has a rule to hire slaver. She knew how slavers needed by considering their situations well. When slaver made an achievement, she gave a prize to the slaver so that he can make the effort sincerely all the time. When Song Duk-Bong became 16 years old, she married Lyu Hui-Chun who was 8 years older than her and lived together for 40 years and 5 months. Because of public office life and banishment life of her husband, they could not live together for more than half of them. After marriage, Song Duk-Bong almost did not leave her parents` home, Damyang. Lyu Hui-Chun lived at Song Duk-Bong`s parents` home and when he had public office life, he was at Hanyang or new post so it was general that her wife bore and grew her children at her parents` home. When her mother-in-law was in critical situation, she moved to Haenam, took care of sick mother-in-law and completed 3-year funeral service without problem. In this way, she realized the Life of Neo-Confucianism actively. When she completed 3-year funeral service in the absence of her husband, her right to speak increased gradually. In the situation, when her husband sent the mail being proud of staying alone, she could refute it theoretically. After all, she could refute the indecisive mail of her husband because of realization of Neo-Confucianism life. While living with her granddaughter, Eun-Woo, she forced the thought of Neo-Confucianism she learned to her. Under the praise of Lyu Hui-Chun couple, Eun-Woo armed herself with Neo-Confucianism and learned the theory of the high and the low·noble and mean. When her aunt remarried again after losing her husband, she pressed her aunt, saying Man`s husband is just one then why you are trying to remarry? In addition, Song Duk-Bong controlled a concubine and other 4 women that her husband acquired during banishment life. She continued stable family relationship by adding other women of her husband that she did not want to compromise to family relationship.
