Yangcheon means 'beautiful district with the bright sun & clear stream' because there are no high mountain here so sunlight is very bright and the stream is very clear. Such beauty of Yangcheon is well expressed in the beautiful paintings of Gyeomjae, Jeong Sun who was a great painter & government official here in the Joseon Dynasty Period during the reign of Youngjo King.
