Prize methods for Jeong-Pyo Policy are Jeong-Ryeo, Jeong-Moon, remit corvee, present a post and present goods. The purpose of this prize was to memory filial piety, faithful wife, faithful subject and there was Confucianism inside. The building of Jeong-Ryeo had been built by king order. When a family got a Jeong-Ryeo form a king, the family had great honor, and it became a village's great pride. Although Gyeongnam province has the most people who have taken the prize, yet it is insufficient of the present condition or the architectural analysis data about Jeong-Gak.
