1-2. 종로구> 견지동(Gyeonji-dong)

견지동은 경복궁 앞쪽 조계사부터 종로타워 사이 도로길이다. 

견지동의 동명은 조선시대 중부 8방인 하나인 견평방에 있는 의금부에서 재판할 때 뜻을 굳게 가지고 일을 공평하게 처리한다는 의미에 따라 1914년 동명 제정 때 붙여졌다. 견지동을 이룬 자연부락은 동정동(銅井洞), 금부후동(禁府後洞), 도화동(圖畵洞), 빙고동(氷庫洞), 전동(典洞), 청석동(靑石洞) 등이며 경복궁·창덕궁 등 궁궐이 가까이 있는 관계로 인해 관청과 관련된 명칭이 많이 있다.

전의감(典醫監) 영문 앞에 있던 우물은 구리 벽돌로 쌓아서 물을 뜰 때마다 쇳소리가 나므로 구리우물이라 하였고 이를 한자로 고친 것이 동정(銅井)이며 동정이 있는 마을이라 해서 동정동(銅井洞)·구리우물골이라 하였다. 금부후동은 지금의 공평동 94번지 일대에 금부(義禁府)가 있었으므로 금부가 있는 뒷동네라 해서 붙여진 이름이며 금부뒷골이라고도 한다. 청석동은 청성동(靑城洞) 혹은 청석골이라 고도 하였다.
도화동은 회화(繪畵)를 맡은 관청인 도화서가 있으므로 도화동, 도화섯골이라 하였다. 빙고동은 빙고(氷庫)가 있었던 곳으로 빙곳골이라고도 하였다. 전동은 견지동 39번지에 전의감이 있었으므로 붙여진 동명이다. 전의감이라고도 불렀다.

견지동의 동쪽으로는 관훈동, 서쪽으로 수송동, 남으로 공평동, 북으로 송현동과 접해 있으며 우정국로가 동의 동서 한가운데를 지나고 있다. 우정국로는 종각에서 율곡로와 이어지는 폭 30m, 연장 550m로서 도로변에는 붓, 벼루, 먹, 한지 등을 파는 가게들이 늘어서 있다.

Gyeonji-dong is a road between Jogyesa Temple in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace and Jongno Tower. 

The name of Gyeonji-dong was given in 1914 when the name was established in accordance with the meaning of having a firm mind and handling matters fairly during trials at Uigeumbu in Gyeonpyeong, one of the eight rooms in the central Joseon Dynasty. The natural villages that formed Gyeonji-dong are Dongdong-dong, Geumbuhu-dong, Dohwa-dong, Bingo-dong, Jeon-dong, and Cheongseok-dong. Due to the close proximity of palaces such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, there are many names related to government offices.

 

 

The well in front of the Yeongmun of Jeonuigam (典醫) was built with copper bricks and made a metallic sound every time the water was poured, so it was called a copper well. The Chinese character for this is Dongdong (銅井), and it is called Dongdong-dong (銅井洞) because it is a village where a well is located. ·It was called Guriumulgol. Geumbuhu-dong was given the name Geumbu (義禁府) because there was a Geumbu (義禁府) in the area that is now 94, Gongpyeong-dong, and it is also called Geumbu Backgol. Cheongseok-dong was also called Cheongseong-dong (靑城洞) or Cheongseokgol.
Dohwa-dong was called Dohwa-ong or Dohwaseotgol because there was Dohwaseo, a government office in charge of painting. Bingo-dong was a place where bingo was located and was also called Binggotgol. Jeon-dong is the name given to 39 Gyeonji-dong because there was a sense of war. It is also called a sense of war.

 

 

Gyeonji-dong borders Gwanhun-dong to the east, Susong-dong to the west, Gongpyeong-dong to the south, and Songhyeon-dong to the north, and Ujeongguk-ro passes through the middle of the east and west sides of Dong-dong. Ujeongguk-ro is 30m wide and 550m long, connecting Jonggak to Yulgok-ro, and the roadside is lined with shops selling brushes, inkstones, ink, Korean paper, etc.
