Understanding relationships
Myeongnyun-dang at the Confucian Temple in Sungkyunkwan University. I translate it (rather clumsily) as 'the Hall of Understanding Human Relationships'. Mengzi says that understanding human relationships is the purpose of education and the basis of good government. If he were alive today, he'd probably be a sociologist.
The Myeongnyun-dang was rebuilt in 1606 after being destroyed by the Japanese during the Imjin wars. The tablet dates from the same year. The calligraphy is that of Zhu Zhifan 朱之蕃, the Chinese imperial envoy to Korea.
