나무가 역사의 산증인이군요~ 400년동안 그자리를 지켜오며 과거와 현재를 그리고 현재와 미래를 연결하는 역할을 하고 있는 나무 ! 앞으로도 잘 보존해야겠군요!

My gosh, what a unfair world he was born in - i'm just glad his in a better place and there is something that is named after him that will rest thousands of years

Makes you want to plant your own tree, right? Sounds like a good idea

노말보로님 덕분에 최제우에 대해서 국사 시간에 배우지 않은 부분도 알게 되었어요! 감사합니다. 경주에 가면, 이곳도 한 번 둘러봐야겠어요.

여긴 경주말고 대구입니다 ㅎㅎㅎ

I didn't know that you could be damned from birth, such a Jae-woo was. The world has come a long way from then I would like to believe. -But even having this against him and limiting what he was able to do with his own life, he lived to help others live more equally despite their classes.

I like the idea that he was inspired by Christianity but wanted to create Donghak, which was closer to the ideals he believed in. That's empowering.

Hahah thank you for sharing this, and the tree's symbolism to his life. This is an amazing article!

Funny thing is I've seen that tree for years but just last week I learned about its story. Very unique.... and interesting piece of history. Makes me want to plant a tree!
