Name: Jojongam
Location: Daebo-ri, Hamyeon
Management Organization: Wang Jong-nak ( 031-585-1281)
Designation No.: Provincial Monument 28
Designation Date: September 5, 1975

Information

Jojongam depicts all the stone inscriptions, tombstones and platform remains. The tombstones are erected right in front of these stones and there is a daetongmyo for holding sacrificial rites near it. In front of this, the clean and clear Jojongcheon (Riv) flows along the mountain bends.
It is said that in the 10 th year of Sukjong in the Joseon Dynasty, Wooam Song Si-yeol inscribed Samusa , which was from the handwriting of the king of the Ming and also inscribed quotes from Hyojong, according to his request to Lee Jae-doo, at the designated location.
Accordingly, various scholars such as Lee Jae-doo, Heo Gyeok and Park Hae-myeong came together to inscribe passages from their forefathers and hold sacrificial rites.
The reason why Jojongam was erected here was because of Jojongcheon (Riv.). The Korean meaning of Jojong is that several rivers come together to become a sea and also is symbolic of feudal lords having audiences with the emperor. Therefore, this location was established to become a place of worship.

This was the house of Jinam Lee Cheon-bo (1698~1761), who was famous for riding around a black cow. Lee Cheon-bo was the prime minister of the Joseon Dynasty during the reign of Yeongjo and he was famous as a literary man with outstanding writing skills.
This structure was rebuilt in the 4 th year of Gojong (1867) and was destroyed during a fire during the Korean War, leaving only the servant ' s quarters and the detached house. Unlike the flat form that appears in Gyeonggi areas, the detached house was in the shape of a ' - ' and had six partitions in the front and one and a half partitions to the south, and faced east. Its skeleton was composed of a high pillar and crossbeams, while a square beam was placed on the side to support the house rafter. This wooden structure is estimated to have been built during the reign of Gojong and the wood is relatively well arranged and the spatial configuration is also well though out.

Gyeonggi Province Supports Administrative Work of Foreign-Invested Companies from August

(Gyeonggi) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:53:44 +0900

Support Offered in Six Areas Including Human Resources, Judicial Affairs, Tax Affairs, and Labor

The Gyeonngi Provincial Government will support the administrative work of foreign-invested companies by selecting ten private corporations in the fields of human resources, judicial affairs, accounting and taxation, labor, finance, and patent administration.

The provincial government announced on July 14th that it would support foreign-invested companies in the areas of employment, taxation and financial affairs, and labor management through private corporations because many may lack a comprehensive understanding of the relevant Korean laws compared to domestic companies.

To this end, a selection committee comprised of civilian experts and provincial government officials will enlist ten private corporations: two each in the fields of human resources, judicial affairs, accounting and taxation, and labor as well as one in finance and one in patent administration.

To apply for selection, private corporations can submit applications along with the required documentation to the Investment Promotion Division of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government. Further information is available from the Announcement/News section of the provincial website (www.gg.go.kr).

A government official said, ??¡ÆThis initiative is expected to generate synergy effects because foreign-invested companies will be able to enjoy professional services at moderate expense while the private companies will have an opportunity to find potential customers and publicize their services.

Ansan Reeds Wetland Park

(Gyeonggi) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:52:43 +0900

- The Ansan Reeds Wetland Park was born with the return of migratory birds to once-dying Shihwa Lake. Here one can enjoy the picturesque scenery of reeds. - GNewsPlus

The Ansan Reeds Wetland Park is a large artificial wetland that was created to improve the quality of water that flows into Shihwa Lake by way of Banwolcheon, Donghwacheon, and Samhwacheon. On the extensive wetland of 1,037,500§³, reeds and aquatic plants with excellent natural purification abilities have been planted to remove noxious materials from wastewater. In the midst of the Reeds Wetland Park is the Environmental Ecological House, in front of which is an ecological pond that contains water purified by the wetland. Flourishing around the pond are irises, yellow bunchflowers, water lilies, mulsari, and loosestrifes. Inside the park, various trees from the central districts have been planted, while the wild flower road surrounded by wild plants and flowers and the promenade provide a view of the beauty of the wetland. Throughout the wetland, which abounds with reeds, migratory birds such as ducks, white herons, avocets, sheldrakes, and egrets can be found.
