Kinjosan (English spelling) Kǔmsŏng‐san

Japanese: 錦城山 - きんじょうさん(英語表記)Kǔmsŏng‐san
Kinjosan (English spelling) Kǔmsŏng‐san
Jinsan, Naju, Jeollanam-do, Korea. It is still a major center of shamanism in Korea. There is Geumseongsansa, which consists of five shrines: Sangsilsa, Jungsilsa, Hasilsa, Guksaish, and Nejodang. In the Najumok section of the Dongguk Yoji Seungnam, it is said that in the fourth year of King Chungnyeol's reign in Goryeo (1278), the god of Geumseongsan descended to a shaman and said, "I was instrumental in conquering Jindo and Tamna, so why am I not being rewarded? It should be given to Prince Jeongnyeong." The king offered five koku of official salary every year and held a memorial service in spring and autumn. It seems that faith in Geumseongdang became popular from the end of the Goryeo period.

朝鮮,全羅南道羅州の鎮山。現在も韓国におけるシャマニズムの一大中心地である。上室祠,中室祠,下室祠,国祭祠,禰祖堂の5祠堂からなる錦城山祠がある。《東国輿地勝覧》羅州牧の条に,高麗忠烈王4年(1278),錦城山の神が巫(みこ)に降りて,〈自分は珍島耽羅の制圧に功があったのになぜ賞さないのか。定寧公になすべきだ〉といったので,王は毎年5石の官禄を献じて春秋に祭ったという。錦城堂の信仰が高麗末期から盛んになったらしいことがうかがえる。
