Eupchunjeong (2) is a hanging wooden plaque of the pavilion built by Yi Se-gap (1852-1934, pen name Eupchun) in 1901. It is located in Woncheon-ri, Nokjeon-myeon, Andong-si, North Gyeongsang Province. It was donated by the Ganjae families of the Yeongchan Yi Clan and it measures 128 cm in width and 55.5 cm in height. Eupchun (挹春) means the season of spring when everything is alive. It was Yi Man-gyu (1845-1921, pen name Yucheon) who named the pavilion.
The script of this plaque is in the cursive handwriting of an unknown author. The brush, which has tapped many times into the ink, rises vertically, falls vertically, bounces, and quickly changes direction frantically. Then with a soft energy it wriggles, revealing the long tail of the character eup (挹). The brush that had enough to drink was cast like a dragon repeating its speed, the character chun (春) appears like haze on a warm spring day, leaving a trace of the dragon’s short tail. The brush, recovering its energy, draws a strong stroke followed by a heavy point, again like walking slowly it leaves the character jeong (亭), with a long tail that struggles upward, touching the starting point.
