Hwasun County

Hwasun County (Korean화순군; RRHwasun-gun) is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea.

Anthem: Song of Citizens of Hwasun County

Before Hwasun became an administrative community in the Japanese Empire, individual culture was formed along three rivers: Jiseokcheon River to Neungju, Hwasuncheon River to Hwasun, and Dongbokcheon River to Dongbok.[citation needed] Recently, residential remains from the Stone Age and the Mesolithic were found in Juam Dam (on the river Gapcheon) at Daejeon Village[clarification needed], Sasu-ri[clarification needed], Nam-myeon[clarification needed].[citation needed] Bronze Age remains include 1,180 dolmens; and a variety of remains excavated in a stone-lines tomb at Daegok-ri (including National Tresture No. 143, bronze knife and bronze mirror). A pit-tomb from the Baekje Period was found at the site of Unjusa Temple.[citation needed]

A dolmen is a grave at the prehistoric age and a kind of megalithic monument. It is distributed all over the world and Korea is its center. There are about 19,000 only in Jeonnam. Hwasun is a representative center of dolmen and has about 2,000. Since 1988, the dolmen in Hwasun was designated as cultural asset.
