AG15. Goesi-ri Traditional Village ⇔ Blueroad Course CA day at grandmother''s house in the country - Goesi-ri Traditional VillageF NarrToday is the day to go tothe Goesi-ri Traditional Village.There is a scent of lotus flowers in the air.Is this it? It''s the scent of old houses.I follow my footsteps and enter the village.It seems like I''ve become a woman ofthe late Joseon Period. As the birthplace of Mokeun Lee Saek,there are traditional houses of the YeongyangNam clan which are over 200 years old.They are well preserved and with a vintage look.The low wall gives off a simple feeling.Walking along the village in nostalgia,I''m reminded of going to my grandmother''shouse when I was little.There is a story about how Mokeun Lee Saekcame to name the village Goesi-ri.Lee Saek introduced Neo-Confucianismand nurtured many students.He wrote over 6,000 poems.He was a great writer of the Goryeo Period.Lee Saek was academically active in Goryeoand Yuan Dynasty in China.He was impressed with Huaishi in China andcalled this village Goesi-ri when he returned.He also named Goraebul and Gwaneodae.He really loved his hometown.There are 14 old houses including the Goesi secthead residence, Mulsowa Confucian school,Haechon house, Daenamdaek, Yeongeun House,Jugokdaek, Cheonjeondaek and Yeonggamdaek.The houses, pavilions and shrines are cultural properties.The structure of the house is a square shapewhich is typical of Joseon nobility.The octagonal roof became mainstream inthe mid-Joseon Period.With the angle rafters, it is an elegant roof. It can be seen in the Goesi sect head residenceand a few other houses in Goesi-ri.Goesi-ri is a good example of a clan village ofthe late Joseon Period.It is a small village, but preserves traditionalcustoms and makes an effort to promote them.At the goejeong at the village entrance,you can experience tea etiquette, wear traditional clothes,jump see-saws, throw arrows in a barrel, etc.If you want to really experience an old house,spend a night at one.This is the Goesi-ri Traditional Village wherethe lives and history of our ancestors are still alive.
