The excursion of Sagun(四郡, four-county) including Danyang(丹陽), Cheongpung(淸風), Jecheon(堤川), and Yungchun(永春), was generalized by the 17th century due to its beautiful scenery. Prior to this, his reputation began to become widely known as Lee Hwang(李滉), who served as Danyang county governor, who traveled to various places and left the <DanyangSansuGayujaSokgi(丹陽山水可遊者續記)>. Especially, it became a place where many literary men were found by the traces of the Confucian Lee Hwang which is in the Danyang. The Cheongpung, along with Danyang, was recognized as a province where the elite of the Noron(老論) princesses had been appointed since the middle of the 17th century. As the queen’s hometown, Cheongpung was raised to high administrative district, it is possible to enjoy good scenery among leisure activities. And in Andong(安東) Kim’s, three generations ruled Cheongpung and built up the connection between the family and the province. In particular, Brother Nong-Yun(農淵) has enjoyed the excursion with their friends and family, and Kim Chang-hup(金昌翕) expressed his travels and tours in the Dangu Diary(「丹丘日記」) and various poets. Brother Nong-Yun's poets were later combined with the poetry Dangurok(丹丘錄). It was another guide to the Sagun as it was read by many people. Kim Chang- hyub's disciple, Sin Jung-ha(申靖夏), used this poetry as a tour guide, confirmed the positive nature of the items revealed in the poem, and took the attitude of honoring Brother Nong-Yun rather than Lee Hwang. After that, Kim Sin-gyum(金信謙) and Min Woo-soo(閔遇洙) left the excursion of Sagun without official duty, and also visited according to the track of their uncle and the teacher.
