aristocratic Confucian culture of the early part
of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The villages

include residences of the head families, together
with substantial timber framed houses of other clan
members, also pavilions, study halls, Confucian
academies for learning, and clusters of one story
mud-walled, thatched-roofed houses, formerly for
