At that time, it was a popular site for many poets and writers to go because of its beautiful scenary. It had been known to the world since mid 16th century. And then by late 17th century, after Uam Song, Si-yeol lived and studied there, it was recognized only as the symbol of the spirit of him. "Hwayangdonggi" is a kind of exploration record, written by Seong, Hae-ung. He wrote it after exploring Hwayangdong with his father Seong, Dae-jung. It contains the writer's philosophy, 尊周攘夷(to honor Zhou Dynasty and exclude Qing Dynasty) and 大明義理(faithfulness to Ming Dynasty)in it. After explaining the inevitable relationship between 君子(a man of virtue) and the nine valleys in Hwayang-dong, he gave certain significance to each name of those valleys. And he also introduced some important places which were connected with Uam, through systematic exploration. "Hwayangdonggi" has significant value like the followings. First, it contains many additional contents which do not be contained in the first edition of Hwayangji. Secondly, the second edition of it might be published with reference to "Hwayangdonggi". Therefore, "Hwayangdonggi" is the most detailed exploration record of all. Seong, Hae-ung also introduced some anecdotes about Uam, and said that his extraordinary personality made not only himself but also those around him and even the surroundings strange.
