Seo Hee(徐熙, 942-998), included in elementary and middle school textbooks and among the 100 greatest people of Korea, was a teacher of the people who saved the country from invasion by foreign enemies with excellent wisdom and courageous determ ination, and is a m an whose equal is hard to find in our history. He was an outstanding strategist and diplomat with a strong spirit of independence. Currently, after Seo Hee was described as a 'general' in the elementary school Social Life 6-1 textbook during the first curriculum period after the Korean War(1954-1963), in 1977, Seo Hee's grave in Sanbuk-myeon, Yeoju-si was renamed 'General Seo Hee's Tomb'. It was designated and registered as a Gyeonggi-do monument. Since the memorial conference held on the 1,000th anniversary of Seo Hee's death(1999), major researchers have repeatedly pointed out that the military title 'General' is inappropriate, and the former president and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as a civil servant, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, have called it 'Jang Wigong Seo Hee-sang'. Even though it has been designated and announced as a standard portrait, the name has not yet been changed correctly. In addition, there is a problem of unification as different names are used interchangeably in local governments. Currently, the term 'general' in the general dictionary meaning refers to a military officer (military officer) or general(大將) who commands and commands an army, and 'general' in English means a general-level officer(將星級 將校). It is expressed as the rank of a head officer who com m ands and commands the army. Moreover, during the Goryeo Dynasty, a general was the third highest rank in the central army. Using the term ‘general’ with this meaning as ‘General Seohee’ for Seohee, a civil servant, is not the correct title given the trajectory of his actions and life. It is probably not the fault of the academic world or the family alone that they have not yet been able to come up with a suitable name despite constant requests for a nam e change. It originates from the unconsciousness of all of us. Therefore, the name of the current Gyeonggi-do monument, “General Seo Hee’s Tomb,” should be changed to “Yeoju Jangwigong Seo Hee’s Cemetery.”
