Lee Hwang (1501-1570) is one of the two most prominent Korean Confucian scholars of Joseon Dynasty, the other being his younger contemporary Lee I (Yulgok). A key figure of the Neo-Confucian literati, he established the Yeongnam School and set up the Dosan Seowon, a private Confucian academy. Yi Hwang is often referred to by his pen name Toegye ("Retreating Creek"). His courtesy name was Gyeongho. Lee Hwang was born in Ongye-ri (which is called Ansan now), Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, in 1501. He belonged to the Jinseong Yi clan, and was the youngest son among eight children. A child prodigy, he learned the Analects of Confucius from his uncle at age nine and admiring the poetry of Tang's Tao Qian, started writing poetry. His poem Yadang (野塘, "Pond in the Wild"), which was written when he was eighteen years old, is considered as one of his major works. Around the age of twenty, he immersed himself in the study of I Ching and Neo-Confucianism. Lee Hwang is one of the most influential Korean historic figure.
