A jongga is the house of the eldest son of a family, who carries on the family line, has the responsibility to hold Confucian memorial services for his ancestors, and keeps his family customs and traditions. Although the way of life of the jongga has changed with the lapse of time, Dr. Yi Seunggyu, the eldest grandson of the family of Ori Yi Wonik, and his wife, Ham Geumja, firmly stick to their family traditions as the owners of the jongga. Now, the traditions are spiritual treasures of the family and cultural assets for us, and the jongga is not only a private historic building of a family but also one of our cultural relics.

How did they live in the jongga? What did they leave in the jongga? As the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law of the family of Ori Yi Wonik, they have infinite stories about the jongga: what household furniture and utensils were in the women's living room and the kitchen when they set up a new home in the jongga; and how they performed memorial services for their ancestors which were one of the most valuable traditions of the family.

The cultural value of the jongga is that it makes us reminiscent of the past as it consists of incorporeal cultural assets as well as material ones. Please appreciate the customs and life-styles of the family of a prime minister through the stories told by Ham Geumja, the director of the museum, about women's living room, kitchen, and memorial service of the Jongga.
