Situated in Daegu, South Korea, the Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian School is a historic institution of learning. A hyanggyo is a state-sponsored academy where students prepared for the gwageo, the civil service examinations during the Goryeo (918–1392) and Joseon (1392–1910) periods. The school comprises two main buildings: Myeongyundang, the lecture hall, and Daeseongjeon, the Confucian shrine hall. Daeseongjeon is home to memorial tablets, and every year in the 2nd and 8th lunar month, a ritual called Seokjeon-daejae is conducted to honour Confucius and renowned Confucian scholars of Daegu. Myeongnyundang currently serves as a classroom where lectures and lessons on ancient Chinese characters and traditional Korean etiquette are taught. Additionally, traditional Korean weddings are held in the garden on the complex grounds during weekends and holidays.
