Tangeumdae

I do not know. Would you not know if I went for a walk? I see the architecture mainly, so the natural scenery

It is a good place to take a walk in Chungju It has a deep historical origin. Great restaurants and cafes nearby

Tangeum, which is famous for turning gayageum, is worth a visit. Nice place for a walk

Tangeumdae is a park boasting dense greenery on the banks of the Namhangang River, which swung around the outskirts of Chungju. Here in Chungju-do, as the city grew and developed from the existing urban area, Tangeumdae was also transformed into a park in the city. Tangeumdae Park is also a historic site with many historical facts. First of all, I will start writing from the origin of Tangeumdae. tandem belt. Tangeumdae, which was originally at the foot of Daemunsan Mountain, is said to have been called Tangeumdae because it was said that it was the place where Ureuk, who is said to have made gayageum, rode the gayageum. It remains a mystery whether Uruk, a native of Gaya, rode the gayageum directly in the land of Silla, especially in Chungju, one of the greatest battlegrounds of the Three Kingdoms before unification, and the northernmost border of Silla. However, Tangeumdae is called Tangeumdae as a legend rather than such a legend has been passed down. Next to the parking lot of Tangeumdae stands a 'Memorial Monument to Mr. Wakseong Ureuk', and next to it stands the 'Statue of the Imjin Loyalty General Baekgi Joung' of General Jo Ung during the Imjin Waeran, the largest international war in East Asia in the Middle Ages. In order to visit Tangeumdae Park, as the tour starts, a thin raindrop begins to fall. Moving a little through the cool shaded tunnel at a slow pace, the Chunghon Tower stands sharp as if it were piercing the sky. Raindrops, which were only thin until a moment ago, gradually thicken and fall, while rainwater wets the floor. When you turn around the Chunghon Pagoda, the 'Eight Thousand Gohon Memorial Pagoda' stands to commemorate the spirits of the soldiers, including General Sin Rip, who led the regular army here in Chungju from the Joseon Dynasty. While leaving the memorial tower behind and moving to Tangeumjeong, the raindrops turn into heavy rain, making it difficult to cover the rain with an umbrella. As we have already walked all the way to Tangeumjeong to look around even the twelve, the rainwater pours water bombs like a hole in the sky, and the wind moves to the twelve under the unfavorable conditions that a person cannot control their body properly. In the 12th generation, General Shinrip, who had led the regular military forces of Joseon, gave up the natural fortress Mungyeongsejae, and left the Namhangang River behind, set up a camp to meet Japanese soldiers armed with guns, and was almost annihilated during the battle, the rock where General Sinrip jumped to commit suicide. are called twelve. In the 12th generation, only the sign of 'Support for the martyrdom of General Shinrip' seems to represent the desperate national luck at the time. In fact, at the time of the Japanese Invasion of Korea, the Joseon army was too heavy to face the Japanese army head-on. In order to unify the Japanese archipelago, the Japanese army invaded Joseon after being armed with samurai who had been trained for more than several decades and armed with improved guns imported from Western Europe. Not only did they not have a properly trained military force over the past several years, but the tattoos with Zhujihak as the highest value did not regard the knowledge of the gods as the time of their claws, so how can they preserve the country intact? In addition, the ruling class of the yangban class, the Munban, was not busy fighting the factions, so the country was divided into the east and the west, and the Japanese invaded in a divided state as the nation was divided. At that time, the chiefs who had to protect the provincial town threw the castle they had to protect to protect their own life and set out to fight, and the fact that most of the local government officials and castles fell into the hands of the Japanese without any resistance is recorded in detail in the 'Jingbirok' written by Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong after the war. became. In the meantime, the place where the Japanese who faced the regular army of Joseon fought a battle-like battle was the Namhangang River seen from Tangeumdae, and even this battle was difficult to understand. Aside from the ambush using the natural fortress Mungyeong Sejae, the operation that hit the Tangeumdae white sand beach with Bae Bae Jin acts as a major defeat factor. As is well known, at that time, it takes a considerable amount of time for the gun to reload the ammunition after firing one shot. The weak point of the gun must be used to the maximum to compete with mobility. The choice of white sandy beaches and wetlands with low mobility as the battlefield is a direct loss, especially It is the common opinion of later historians that such a disastrous result would not have been possible if the Japanese army had fought as a mounted unit without time for the Japanese to organize their lines or reload their ammunition, using their mobility as their main unit. After leaving the 12 generations closely related to the Japanese Invasion of Korea, facing the raging rain and wind, I moved to the parking lot, but I came back with difficulties enough to put my tongue out at the power of the headwind. On the way back, the strong wind broke and collapsed the branches of pine trees and twigs, and the trail was literally transformed into a devastating mess. I am immersed in the rain, and I recall the old sayings again. 'It is best to avoid showers'
