Yongmunheon is the wooden plaque hanging in the maru (wooden floor hall) of a pavilion called Chwidamjeong built by Kim Ki-hwang (1841-1889, pen name Chwidam) in Gudam-ri, Pungcheon-myeon, Andong-si, North Gyeongsang Province. The plaque was donated by Mabongso family of the Lord Chameui branch of the Suncheon Kim Clan, and it measures 96.5 cm in width and 38.5 cm in height. Yongmun means gateway, symbolizing the hope that descendants who have studied at the Chwidamjeong Pavillion will become great people.
The calligraphy is written in the semi-cursive script of Cho Gyeong-ho (1839-1914, pen name Gudang). The character yong (龍) is created by the brush first concentrating in one place, condensing its strength and wriggling slowly, then quickly it increases its speed and soars as if flying in the sky. Afterward, the dry brush strokes leave empty spaces, finishing off the character’s composition, creating a sense of overwhelming dignity. The brush with the powerfully soaring energy gradually calms down and forms the strong character mun (門). The characters on the left appear slanted like they are tired, but the character heon (軒) is finished with sturdy strokes, awakening its viewers.
