마천목장군과 도깨비살
Info only · no booking hereAbout
It is said that the ancestors of General Ma Cheon-mok, a meritorious official at the founding of the Joseon Dynasty and during the reign of King Taejong (Yi Bang-won), migrated from Jangheung. The village was named Dangsan Village because it had a seonghwangdang shrine and held village rites; it lies between Chimgok and Songjeong, and the fish weir (eoeon) in front of Dugye, Godal-myeon, was called Dokkaebi-sal. Legend has it that when General Ma Cheon-mok was young, his mother fell ill and craved fish; he went to the Seomjin River bank and oddly picked up a blue stone, whereupon a band of dokkaebi (goblins) swarmed him, saying they would grant anything if he returned the stone to their leader. Ma Cheon-mok said he would return it if they built a fish weir in the river, and so the weir was made—this is the Dokkaebi-sal legend. Along National Road 17, there is an informational marker stone, and across the river stands a sculpture of the Dokkaebi Chief with a humorous expression.
