The area is well known as a hub of traditional Korean Confucianism, and is home to the former yangban lineages Pungsan Ryu, Pungsan Hong and Pungsan Kim.
Pungsan Hong
editAll ancestry of Andong's Pungsan Hong may be traced to the Goryeo dynasty's Hong Ji-gyeong later known as a great master of Korean classical verse in the Joseon dynasty. The Pungsan Hong were known as yangban among yangbans. Hong Jin was a direct descendant of Hong Ji-gyeong.
