This is the tomb of Song Sanghyeon(1551-92), a dedicated official of the Joseon period(1392-1910), who died in action during the Japanese Invasions of 1592-98. Song joined the government after passing a state civil service examination in 1576, the ninth year of the reign of King Seonjo(1567-1608). He was the magistrate of Dongnae at the time of the Japanese Invasions and heroically fought the much superior Japanese forces at the Dongnae fortress before he was killed when the fortress fell. Song was honored with the posthumous title of government minister and his tablet enshrined at the Chungnyeolsa shrine. Besides a tombstone, the stonework at the grave includes a memorial table, sheep, officials, posts and a lantern. Just down the hill from the grave is a 280cm-high granite stele, erected in 1659, the 10th year of the reign of King Hyojong(1649-59), and protected by a shelter built in 1980. The epitaph was written by Song Siyeol and the calligraphy written by Song Jungil. Yi Jeongyeong wrote the calligraphy of the title. The capstone is exquisitely engraved.
