Information

The facts

The site of Seonjamdan was a place where people prayed for profitable years of silkworm farming and made sacrifices to Xiling, the Goddess of Silkworm, who was said to have started silkworm farming. During the Joseon, the king set an example to the people by carrying out farm work by himself. This was called 'chingyeong'. The queen set an example by rearing silkworms. This was called 'chinjam'. By doing so, they both stressed the importance of food and clothing.
