Why did the names of the four brothers, including Yi Yulgok, include the character \"king\" (王) in their names? Saimdang is said to have begun studying painting from a young age, using An Gyeon's landscape paintings as textbooks. If so, why are only a handful of her landscape paintings extant today? Was the \"Dumun-ri\" recorded by Song Si-yeol as the location of Shin Saimdang's tomb the current location of Mt. Jawoon? Or was it somewhere else? Did Saimdang learn anything from the lives of extraordinary women of her time? Do the arrangements of her clothes and the gestures of her hands in Shin Saimdang's portrait reflect the attire of a 16th-century noblewoman?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Lee Young-ho searches for answers to these questions by visiting relevant records and contacting relevant people.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, a new image of Saimdang, completely different from previous Saimdang images, is being created, one fit for the 21st century. Above all, this book is written in a conversational style, making it enjoyable for anyone to read.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the book is filled with a wealth of illustrations, including Saimdang's landscape paintings, insect paintings, calligraphy, and various field photos, so readers can feel like they are participating in the author's exploration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Was Saimdang a

something different. \u003cbr\u003eWhile basing the book on historical facts related to Saimdang, I did my best to capture everything about Saimdang by looking at the history of Joseon before and after her life, including Yi Yulgok, Lee Sa-on, Shin Myeong-hwa, the Yongin Yi clan, King Wen of Zhou, Neo-Confucianism, Song Si-yeol, and the factional strife of Joseon.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, it records Saimdang's footsteps by visiting Seoul, Gangneung, Paju, and Pyeongchang in detail, and follows the path that Saimdang and Yi Yulgok took to meet her husband and father, Yi Wonsu, and contains the background of Saimdang's heartbreaking compassion and filial piety toward her mother, her deep respect for her father, Shin Myeonghwa, and the story of the husband and wife's fidelity. \u003cbr\u003eIt explains the reason for the name Saimdang, the historical background of the Zhou Dynasty, the cultural transformation that occurred during Saimdang's time due to the mixing of ancestral rites and wedding rites, Saimdang's actions as recorded by Yi Yulgok himself, the background of Yi Yulgok's temporary stay in a temple in Geumgangsan during the Joseon Dynasty, which revered Confucianism, and the reason for his return.\u003cbr\u003e It focuses on the relationship between Yi Yulgok and Song Siyeol, and the political situation at the time, and also covers Saimdang's children's upbringing and married life.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Introduction\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “……Anyway, the meaning of the nickname Saimdang is to emulate King Wen of Zhou’s mother, ‘Taim (太任)’, but why did Shin Saimdang choose that nickname?”\u003cbr\u003e “I wanted to emulate the father of King Wu, who founded the Zhou Dynasty, and the father of King Wen of Zhou (who was honored posthumously). \u003cbr\u003eSo, rather than wanting to be known only as a famous calligrapher or a virtuous wife, I wonder if Saimdang wanted to be the mother who gave birth to the king of Joseon, or if not, the father of the king.\u003cbr\u003e Saimdang is not just the virtuous wife and mother we have known so far, she is more than that.”\u003cbr\u003e \"The King of Joseon? Or the mother who gave birth to the father of the King of Joseon? Isn't that a stretch of the imagination based on a simple nickname, Saimdang? If you assume that, the image we've known of Saimdang will be completely turned upside down. Isn't she a far cry from the image of a virtuous wife and wise mother? Then, what should I say? The mother who gave birth to the leader of a nation? In any case, doesn't that make her seem like an ambitious woman with her eyes set on the throne?\"\u003cbr\u003e The owner of the bookstore looked at me with an expression that said, \"Don't make such ridiculous assumptions.\" \u003cbr\u003eIt seemed like she secretly wanted to maintain the existing image of Saimdang.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Shin Saimdang’s family is a family of descendants of the founding fathers of the Goryeo Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003e But the country at that time was Joseon.\u003cbr\u003e But Shin In-seon says she will take the name Saimdang and emulate the Chinese goddess Tai Im?\u003cbr\u003e “…….”\u003cbr\u003e “Look, doesn’t the history of China’s Yin and Zhou dynasties match between Goryeo and Joseon?”\u003cbr\u003e Kim Young-soo observed my expression.\u003cbr\u003e So, what Kim Young-soo was saying was that just as the vassal state of Zhou defeated the superior state of Shang and truly established the Zhou Dynasty, Saimdang's family must have also had the goal of opening the Goryeo Dynasty again in Joseon by inheriting the spirit(?) of the founding fathers of Goryeo.\u003cbr\u003e But that was also a guess that was too far ahead of its time. \u003cbr\u003eRather than saying that he re-established the Goryeo Dynasty in Joseon, it would be more realistic to assume that he gained the king's trust and expanded his power in Joseon.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I thought that Saimdang might have been a victim of gifted education.”\u003cbr\u003e \"yes?\"\u003cbr\u003e “No, why is it still a problem these days? There are so many families that are in chaos because parents send their children to various academies, saying they are raising their children to be gifted and such, but can’t bother the children who want to play? I heard a story about an elementary school student who goes to bed at 2 a.m. because he’s doing homework and academy work. And there was a story about a child who goes to an English academy and a music academy, and when the piano teacher asked the child why he plays the piano, he said, ‘I just do it because mom makes me do it.’ And what did he say again? The child goes to a musical academy, and when asked why he does that, he said, ‘Mom likes it when I do it.’ \u003cbr\u003eMr. Author, don't you know what's going on in the world these days? I know everything.\u003cbr\u003e “Even though we run a used bookstore, we can’t help but be unaware of how the world works, right?”\u003cbr\u003e The owner of the bookstore always had a smiling expression on his face.\u003cbr\u003e It was a signal that he had made his own judgment about Saimdang and would make it known.\u003cbr\u003e The story of the bookstore owner was that gifted education was the problem.\u003cbr\u003e For example, there was a story that Saimdang had been learning to draw and write since she was young, all because of the nagging of her father, Shin Myeong-hwa.\u003cbr\u003e It was argued that gifted education certainly existed during the Joseon Dynasty, although it was a bit different from private education, which is a problem these days.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Saimdang imitated her mother, Lady Yongin Lee, who embroidered from a young age. \u003cbr\u003eThere is a record that Isaon, seeing his granddaughter's talent, taught her painting from the age of seven around 1510, and bought her landscape paintings by An Gyeon as teaching materials.\u003cbr\u003e “An Gyeon was a famous painter representing Joseon since the time of King Sejong.”\u003cbr\u003e \"okay?\"\u003cbr\u003e “Then it is true that Saimdang developed her painting skills by first painting landscapes.”\u003cbr\u003e “Oh, right! That’s right.\u003cbr\u003e “Because I studied painting while drawing landscape paintings.”\u003cbr\u003e “However, most of Saimdang’s paintings that have been passed down to this day are paintings of grass and insects.\u003cbr\u003e And there are some letters too.\u003cbr\u003e “He must have painted many landscape paintings, but only a few of his landscape paintings have been passed down to this day, which can be counted on one hand.”\u003cbr\u003e CEO Jang Min-seok whetted his appetite.\u003cbr\u003e It was a habit that appeared when I thought something was unfortunate.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.95-97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Then, let’s start explaining Taeim’s prenatal education in detail.\u003cbr\u003e … … \u003cbr\u003eFirst of all, it says this in the Book of Songs.\u003cbr\u003e 'Taim's character was upright, consistent, and dignified, and he practiced only virtue.\u003cbr\u003e After becoming pregnant with King Wen\u003cbr\u003e The eyes did not see the evil light\u003cbr\u003e The ears did not hear obscene sounds.\u003cbr\u003e He didn't say anything arrogant.\u003cbr\u003e When standing, don't miss your step\u003cbr\u003e When walking, walk slowly\u003cbr\u003e If the seat is not right, don't sit down\u003cbr\u003e I don't eat meat unless it's cut properly.\u003cbr\u003e At night, he made the blind man read and memorize poetry.\u003cbr\u003e It brought joy to my heart.'\u003cbr\u003e Also, similar content is included in 'Biographies of Virtuous Women' and 'Elementary Learning' written by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty in China.\u003cbr\u003e It says that Taeim was strict about prenatal education.\u003cbr\u003e Saimdang probably mastered books of this caliber during her teenage years.” --- pp.139-140\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is fortunate that the record of Saimdang's tomb in Dumun-ri, Paju is clearly recorded in the 'Shin Saimdang Epitaph' written by Song Si-yeol.\u003cbr\u003e The place name hasn't changed.\u003cbr\u003e The first phrase of Shin Saimdang's epitaph clearly indicates the location as 'Dumun-ri, Paju.'\u003cbr\u003e But the problem is that the old and current place names are different.\u003cbr\u003e So it's important to figure out what place the old place name refers to these days.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Later, Song Si-yeol also came here and saw it.\u003cbr\u003e I'm talking about Ojukheon, the place where his teacher, Lee Yulgok, was born and raised.\u003cbr\u003e However, as I was recording academic achievements and establishing theories on interest rate curves, I felt like I needed more data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why was Yi Yulgok able to devote himself to academics from a young age? Song Siyeol investigated Yi Yulgok's father, Yi Wonsu, and found nothing remarkable. \u003cbr\u003eSo, I would have traced my lineage back to my maternal grandfather, Shin Myeong-hwa, and naturally, I would have come to know the Yong-in Lee clan, a typical mother figure.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, it would be natural for the story to come down to Saimdang, their daughter and mother of Yi Yulgok.\u003cbr\u003e In the end, Song Si-yeol must have realized that his mother, Saimdang, played a crucial role in raising Yi Yulgok to become a great scholar.\u003cbr\u003e The benefit gained from visiting Ojukheon was not only Saimdang's maternal love.\u003cbr\u003e The place where Saimdang was born and raised, and where she gave birth to and raised Yi Yulgok, gave rise to a sense of the goals of child education that Saimdang felt and thought about, as well as her own role and mission.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I think that outstanding women like Hwang Jin-i should at least be given a promotion in status. \u003cbr\u003e\"This is no longer the Goryeo or Joseon dynasties, is it? So, I think women like Hwang Jini should at least be given a status resembling entertainers, rather than continuing to be treated as gisaeng, even in this day and age.\"\u003cbr\u003e What Dr. Kim wanted to say is that if we continue to only think of them as gisaeng or concubine's daughters, as we do now when we tell the stories of outstanding female figures of the time, like Hwang Jini, then things will not get much better for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e The argument is that we should elevate the status of women who have developed their talents and devoted themselves to academics and the arts to escape the reality they face, even at this point in time.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My mother always missed her home in Gangneung, and there were days when she spent the night crying and couldn't sleep until dawn after night fell and there was no sign of people. \u003cbr\u003eOne day, a concubine (Sihee) brought by a relative with the surname Sim played the geomungo. Saimdang shed tears and said, “The sound of the geomungo makes those who miss it cry.” Others also felt sad, but no one understood Saimdang’s true intentions.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.303-304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “So I think it’s time to look at the Saimdang we knew from a new perspective.\u003cbr\u003e Saimdang, the wise wife and wise mother?
