Origin
In 927, during the reign of King Gyeongsun of Silla, Yook Bo (Korean: 육보; Hanja: 陸普) was sent by the Tang dynasty to Korea to spread Confucianism. Yook Bo was from China's Zhejiang Province.[2][3] Yook Bo settled in Korea, and was buried in Gwanseong, the old name for Okcheon.[4] Hence, the bon-gwan is located in Okcheon.
