Pungsan-eup (Korean: 풍산읍) is a town in Andong in the southeast section of South Korea. Situated along the Nakdong River just west of central Andong, it lies on a popular tourist route connecting the city center with the Hahoe Maeul folk village in Pungcheon-myeon. Local landmarks include the Yucheon Museum of Hanji Art.
The area is well known as a hub of traditional Korean Confucianism, and is home to the former yangban lineages Pungsan Ryu, Pungsan Hong and Pungsan Kim.
Pungsan Hong
[edit]All ancestry of Andong's Pungsan Hong may be traced to the Goryeo dynasty's Hong Ji-gyeong later known as a great master of Korean classical verse in the Joseon dynasty. The Pungsan Hong were known as yangban among yangbans. Hong Jin was a direct descendant of Hong Ji-gyeong.
