Eunbyeongjeongsa was the place where he taught his followers. It was consisted of lecture halls and shrine space. The academy reflected the attitude, qualities and scholarship of the followers who have been studying there. The master pursued the intrinsic value of education and learning, specified it like as the pleasure of learning, self-realization and perfection of character. And he hoped his followers to voluntarily focus on body and spirit discipline. In the preface of Gyeokmongyogyeol, Yulgok stressed the importance of learning to be acquired in everyday life and actions. Learning was just appropriate conduct based on a deep understanding of important ideas and precepts such as the five moral rules in human relationships. In addition, Yulgok developed the neo-Confucianist concept of integration of sincerity and single-mindedness. In this point, Yulgok's notion that original nature(yi) rides physical nature(gi) was not critical problem in the field of schooling. Eunbyeongjeongsa received a name of royal charter, the Sohyunseowon, which was given a hanging board by King Gwanghae in 1610.
