Seowon were private educational institutions of the Joseon Dynasty, established to hold ancestral rites for distinguished Confucian scholars and to educate the local community. Hwanbong Seowon enshrines Cheon Man-ri (千萬里) as its main deity—a commander-in-chief who led 20,000 Ming Dynasty cavalry troops to Korea to suppress the Imjin War (Japanese invasions of 1592–1598) and the Jeongyu War (second invasion of 1597–1598), achieving great military feats—and also enshrines his two sons, Sang (常) and Hui (希), who accompanied him on the expedition. General Cheon Man-ri was a Chinese man who naturalized in Korea during the reign of King Seonjo of Joseon; his pen name was Saam (思庵), and he was skilled in martial arts from an early age, particularly renowned as a master archer. Today, the Cheon clan regards this place as their ancestral seat.
