Pyochungsa

About

About
This is a temple with a Pyochung Shrine built to commemorate the loyalty and deeds of Samyeong Daesa, who raised an army during the Imjin War and made great contributions to the country. The name Pyochung Shrine comes from the fact that the shrine dedicated to Samyeong Daesa was called Pyochung Seowon at the time and was generally called Pyochung Shrine, and the temple has been protecting this shrine. The original Pyochung Shrine was located on the site of Baekhaam in Yeongchuksan, Miryang City. The country built a temple to hold the memorial service for Samyeong Daesa and held memorial services in the spring and fall. After that, the Byeongja Horan occurred, the monks were scattered and the temple became a ruin. In 1714 (the 40th year of King Sukjong’s reign), Miryang County Governor Kim Chang-seok learned of Samyeong Daesa’s loyalty and deeds and called local leaders and monks to discuss rebuilding the temple. Major cultural assets and buildings include the bronze incense burner, National Treasure No. 75, as well as the three-story stone pagoda, National Treasure No. 467, and local cultural assets such as stone lanterns, Pyochung Seowon, and Daegwangjeon, as well as 25 buildings and approximately 300 relics of Samyeong Daesa are preserved here.
The Miryang Pyochung Monument, which is said to have been sweating whenever a major event occurred in the country, is located here.
