The present Yangdong Village, which used to be called Yangjwa-dong in ancient times, is located in Gangdong-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It is a typical Korean aristocratic village with indicates the well-kept Confucian manners and customs of the times. Yangmaegong Sohn-So (1433-1484), the founding father of Yangdong Village, is a son-in-law of Yu Bok-Ha (Pyeongdeok Yu) who took up the government office of Manho. He came to reside in this village and formed the founding family of Weolseong Sohn with an ensuing connection with Yi-Beon, father of Yi Eon-Jeok of the Yeogang Yi family. These two families of Weolseong Sohn and Yeogang Yi have handed down the tradition of Yangdong Village to their descendents even until today. What the author explores in this study is the fundamental reasons for the well-kept reputation of Yangdong Village until today. How much cultural heritage, of which the world recognizes their values, are maintained in Yangdong Village? By focusing on the scholarly attainments and philosophical ideas of Yi Eon-Jeok, the spiritual mainstay of Yangdong Village, this paper aims to reach a deep understanding of the Village registered at the World Cultural Heritage.
