Poem Written by King Sukjong (Gyeseongsa)

'Gye Seong Sa' is a shrine to honor the fathers of saints such as Confucius and Mencius. In Confucian society, this shrine was very meaningful. It was first built during the Ming Dynasty. In the Joseon Dynasty, this shrine was erected at the time of Sukjong. It is a poem(Gye Seong Sa, 啓聖祠) written and written by King Sukjong(肅宗, 1661-1720) himself, and it is called 'King's Poetry(御製詩)'. It is the poem that sang the joy in the time when this shrine was completed.
Poem : 卜基新建祠, 思樂泮宮裏, 日永方趨功, 禮成正在邇, 豈徒遵漢模, 良欲奉明旨, 從此可倫全, 春秋同祭司.
