Ganghwa County is a place of spectacular cultural bloom, retaining the Prehistoric Age's precious Jiseokmyo (dolmen), along with Goryeo Era's Palmandaejanggyeong (registered as one of world's important cultural legacies,Tripitaka Koreana), Keumsokhwalja, Goryeo jagi, etc.
In Joseon Dynasty, Ganghwa used to be the shelter for refuge during Jeong-Myo-Horan and Byeong-Ja-Horan (name of battles), and at the end of Joseon Era, Ganghwa witnessed the tragic history of Daewongun's Seclusion policy (national isolation policy) and Catholic suppression, which led to the French Battleship Incidents, Byeon-In-Yangyo and Sin-Mi-Yangyo (name of battles), as well as Unyangho Incident leading to the Treaty of Ganghwado. Based on these facts and the relics and treasures it retains, which total 14 small and large temples and 107 cultural relics, Ganghwado can be said to be a homeland of history.
To foster the defense of the Fatherland, the latent potential and the culture of wisdom of the strong people of Ganghwa were revived, the building of Ganghwa Yeoksagwan (History Museum), which started in 1984 and lasted for five years, totalling 1.67 Billion Won opened in september 14, 1988.
It is a place where you can find the highest form of history and the sacred precincts of the foundation of the state, all in one well-organized place. |
