The island which is like a big door, Geomundo
Commonly, Geomundo Is land was thought to be an is land of geomun, in other words 'an is land that is like a big door'. It is true. Bec aus e of its geographic al
loc ation, Geomundo Is land was the c enter of Eas t As ia s ea route s inc e anc ient times . Als o, for the s ame reas on, it has rec eived ordeals between modern wes tern
powers . Thus , the name 'geomun' s eems more s uitable than any other. Des pite that, it is more pers uas ive to s ay that the name 'Geomundo' has c ome from a group
of people. 'Geomundo', in other words , means 'is land of great s c holars '. This is very exc eptional as mos t of the names for plac es have originated from its
geography or nature. Then why did it earn s uc h a name? It is bec aus e Geomundo Is land was a plac e of ac tive interc hange of c ulture from the s ea route s inc e the
olden days . That too, has bec ome a bas e for the development of many great people des pite being a s mall is land at the edge of Namdo.
In Geomundo Is land of the late 19th c entury, there already were billiard halls , elec tric lights , telephones , and other waves of modernization that was diffic ult to s ee
even in the mainland. Als o, in 1905, early 20th c entury, 'Nagyeong Ac ademy', a modern s c hool, was es tablis hed: Geomundo Is land's c ulture abs orption was fas t and
omnidirec tional to that extent. That was what developed great people, and thus earned the is land the glorious name of 'Geomun'. The reas on why Geomundo was
able to s urvive between wes tern powers and how it was able to purs ue Donghak Movement and fierc e anti-Japanes e movements was probably bec aus e s uc h
c apable people were guarding this is land.
