[KS] A site identification?

[Frank Hoffmann]

Hi again:

Dr. Hyoungbae Lee, in a short mail that I *believe* was thought for the 
list but ended up in my personal email account only, pointed correctly 
out--as a response to me question--that:

 --- quote ---
 That area near Sagŭn Sansŏng seems to be Sudong-myŏn Hwasan-ni(화산리/
花山里) instead of Hasan-ni.
 ------------

I like to confuse you just a little more:

(1) The other location in NORTH Kyŏngsang-do (Koryŏng-gun) that had 
been pointed to, *also* appears as "Hwasan" and not "Hasan" on all 
official maps. See e.g. below:

(2) The place I had to referred to, the one in SOUTH Kyŏngsang-do 
(Hamyamg-gun) does, as Hyoungbae Lee points out, also appear as 
"Hwasan" and not "Hasan" in maps and likely in official administrative 
indices (with the Hanja as given by Dr. Lee).

But … but the thing is that locals *seem* to refer to it as "Hasan" 
rather than the official "Hwasan." If, for example, you look up a 
certain Kongju Restaurant, or people who refer to it in some blogs that 
it is given with this address: 경남 함양군 수동면 하산리 수동면농협 근처
(http://123.215.30.105/layout/m/detail_view.php?mu_idx=1008020043128609598)
The same is true for the mentioned, important Three Kingdom 
Sa'gŭnsansŏng Fortress near this location, which is always referred to 
be at "Hasan" and not "Hwasan" at the official Website of the Korean 
Cultural Heritage Administration (Munhwa Chaedan):
http://www.cha.go.kr/korea/heritage/search/Culresult_Db_View.jsp?mc=NS_04_03_02&VdkVgwKey=13,01520000,38
QUOTE: "경상남도 함양군 하산리 사근장터 뒤 연화산에 있는 돌로 쌓아진 산
성이다."
I also saw Korean bloggers who do not simply quote that, but who 
actually write in their blogs after having visited the Fortress that 
"Hasan" is in such and such direction (not Hwasan). 

I think this would be something best clarified by actually being there 
and asking around. I just wanted to point this out.


Best wishes,
Frank
