The Songgyungwan was the highest educational institution established during the Koryo and Choson Dynasties. It opened in 992. The institution consists of the Taesong Temple, Myongnyun Hall and 20 other buildings, including one of the largest wooden buildings to still exist in the DPRK. Songgyungwan is located two kilometers to the northeast of the center of the city of Kaesong. Since 1987, it houses the Koryo Museum. ==History== Songgyungwan was originally known as a palace outbuilding called “Taemyon”. The institution was built by King Munjong (the eleventh king of Koryo) and was designated as the principal teaching institute in 1089. The facility was given the name Songgyungwan in 1308. It was later destroyed by fire (in 1592) during the Imjin War. The institution's twenty buildings date from its reconstruction (which started in 1602); they comply with the characteristics required of a Confucian educational establishment of the period. 〔 It taught Confuscianism and developed students' ability to handle political and other "practical affairs".〔 Songgyungwan prepared young aristocratic men for the civil service and was the center of Confucian studies in the Dynasty. The institution had the particular responsibility of educating the crown prince; who "upon being invested with that title, underwent the state ceremony of ''iphak'' or commencement of learning at the Seonggyun-gwan in accordance with the code of the ''iphagnye'' as stipulated in the ''Gukjo oryeui'' (Book on the Five Rites of State)". 〔 〕 The school remained the national seat of learning until the capital was moved to Seoul under the Yi Dynasty, where the current Sungkyunkwan University became the new national university. 〔 〕 Jeong Mong-ju passed his civil service examinations at the age of twenty-three and became an instructor of Neo-Confucianism at the Songgyungwan Academy in 1367. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songgyungwan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
