This is Uirimji in Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do. Background of the establishment of Uirimji The Jecheon area of ​​Chungcheongbuk-do is a basin terrain with mountains such as Jakseoksan, Sambongsan, Wolaksan, and Songhaksan, which are 800 to 1,000m above sea level, surrounding a plain. Jecheon's agriculture was centered around the Jecheon Plain, which developed on the southern slopes of Yongdusan. In order to cultivate crops on the high and sloping land, a reservoir was needed to utilize the water flowing down from Yongdusan, which is located higher than that, and the valleys around it as agricultural water. The period when Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were fighting is called the Three Kingdoms Period. Jecheon, located in the upper reaches of the Han River, was a place that the three kingdoms had to occupy in order to expand their territories, so it became the land of Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla. In this history, there is a mountain fortress built during the Three Kingdoms period in Jecheon, and the culture influenced by the Three Kingdoms blossomed in Jecheon. We can see that the cultures of the Three Kingdoms were fused to become Jecheon’s culture through Jecheon’s old place names, lifestyles, and Buddhist relics. Scholars of the Joseon Dynasty enjoyed writing and drawing what they felt when they saw beautiful nature. Geumgangsan Mountain, the Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong, and the Four Commanderies (Jecheon, Cheongpung, Danyang, and Yeongchun) were places that people often visited at the time. Uirimji was the most popular place in Jecheon among the Four Commanderies, and Kim Chang-hyeop, Kim Chang-heup, and Park Su-jeom wrote poems about the scenery, while Lee Bang-un and Kwon Sin-eung wrote paintings. These writings and paintings are currently being used as materials for studying Uirimji. The surrounding terrain of Uirimji can be divided into the back mountainous area including Yongdusan (871m above sea level) and the 4m flatland, which is farmland that receives water from Uirimji. In the upper region, strong currents cut through weak parts of the soil to form mountains, and in the lower region, as the flow of water from the mountains to the plains weakens, materials carried by the current accumulate on the bottom to form a fan. Uirimji is a reservoir created by building an embankment connecting the valleys on both sides of the river at the point where the mountains and the plains meet. The water stored in the jar-shaped water hole effectively irrigates the irrigation area (Cheongjeonjeol, around 220m above sea level) located lower than the reservoir (320m above sea level). Types of ancient reservoirs Reservoirs serve to supply or exclude water to farmland for stable crop cultivation. Therefore, each reservoir has different sizes, water storage methods, and functions depending on the purpose of use or natural environment. The ancient reservoirs In this case, the types can be distinguished based on these differences. Depending on the terrain, they are classified into mountain valley type and flatland type, and depending on the purpose of use, they are classified into irrigation type, open field type, and original type. #Domestic travel #Travel plan #February travel support fund event
