This study collected and intensively analyzed the works and remains in Namwon(南原) province by Liu Ting(劉綎) of Ming Dynasty during the Imjin War (the Japanese invasion in 1592-1598; 壬辰倭亂). Liu Ting engraved characters on the rocks as passing by the Yeowon hill(女院峙) twice. A local official of Namwon built a memorial stone at the guest residence of Namwon district to appreciate the contribution of Liu Ting to care for the local people. During the second Japanese invasion in 1597-1598(丁酉再亂), Liu Ting often climbed up the Yongdu pavilion(龍頭亭) located at Mt. Yongtu(龍鬪山) and fell in love with the splendid scenery while enjoying fishing at Jogi(釣磯). Immediately after the war, Liu Ting renovated the Guanwang Shrine(關王廟) in Namwon and built the memorial stone claiming that he defeated the Japanese army with the divine power from Guanyu(關羽).
