● Genius Loci (spirit of a place)
This place (Seolcheon-myeon, Namhae-do) was left alone as a quiet and desolate place, and its beauty was discovered when Jaam Kim Gu came into exile during the reign of King Seongjong of the Chosun Dynasty.
He called this place Sinseon island (where taoist hermit lives) and praised it.
Hwajeonbyeolgok ( a poem written by Jaam Kim Gu)
An island of Taoist hermit , a point that is the end of the sky and the head of the earth
1. Serenity: The sky, clouds, and rising sun that greet you every morning.
2. The shape of the hill is said to be like a ridge (a dragon's backbone) along the mountain range behind it, and its head is rising from the water.
3. A hill where residents for a long time would greet the sun at the beginning of the year and make wishes (a seaside hill that they wished for in the sky)
