Walking along the river, a literary journey unfolds at Sangju Nakdong River Literature Hall

🌿 Walking along the river, a literary journey unfolds at Sangju Nakdong River Literature Hall As you stroll along the Nakdong River, you might stumble upon a space where time seems to have paused. Nestled quietly by the riverside, the traditional Korean-style literature hall feels like a small poetry book, blending the breeze, the sound of water, and the lines of old verses. Inside the exhibition hall, the story of 'Nakgang Poetry Society,' which spanned over 600 years from the late Goryeo to the late Joseon period, unfolds. Gazing at the 'Nakyucheop,' a collection capturing the scenes of scholars reciting poetry on boats floating on the river, I found myself stopping in my tracks. Though time has passed, the elegance and sentiment of those days seem to still breathe here. I also learned for the first time that Sangju is a hub for literary figures and a birthplace of children's literature. Looking at a small children's poem and handwritten manuscripts resembling a child's handwriting warmed my heart. This place reminded me how literature can quietly touch the soul. After leaving the literature hall, I walked to Gyeongcheon Island. The sunlight spreading over the river, the gentle breeze, and the lingering aura of the literature hall behind me. When I need a moment of rest or wish to embark on a solo journey, I think this place will come to mind. 📖 "Poetry is not something to read but to dwell in." Today, I dwelled in the Nakdong River Literature Hall and returned with a line of poetry etched in my heart.
