After liberation, 79 Seowon-Sawoo were established restoratively and 52 ones were established newly at Jeonbuk Province till 2004. At most areas, the number & rate of restorative establishments are higher before liberation. As for newly establishments, the number of ones is few after liberation than before at Gunsan·Namwon·Muju·Iksan. It's because Gunsan was center of modernization after the opening of the port & center of plundering during Japanese Rule, and Namwon & Iksan had many restorative establishments. After liberation, 106 Seowon-Sawoo were established restoratively with 114 new establishments at Gwangju-Jeonnam Province. Among 23 cities·districts of Gwangju-Jeonnam, the number & rate of restorative establishments after liberation are lower than before at only 6 areas, and it's because the number of restorative establishments was considerably higher before liberation, and the number of new establishments was higher after liberation at these areas. As for new establishments, only Jindo has one place less after liberation than before. As the result of comparing Gwangju-Jeonnam with Jeonbuk, Gwangju-Jeonnam have higher restorative establishments of about 34% and new establishments of 119% than Jeonbuk. This is regarded it has much to do with the population change & regional development of Gwangju-Jeonnam and Jeonbuk after liberation. Not only at Jeonbuk but at Gwangju-Jeonnam, restorative establishments were done in 1946 and new establishments in 1945. The reason that new establishments were done previously than the restorative is thought that preparation & procedures of the restorative were more complex than the new. If inspected the situation of the restorative & the newre done previous at Gwangju-Jeonnam and Jeonbuk after liberation in the chronological order, it has decreased rapidly since 1990s, and the reason of it is change of values & decrease of Confucian population. After liberation, among Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively·newly, the persons enshrined most are the particular surnames, or ancestors of a family. Because they were government officials, loyalists & outstanding scholars, they were enshrined by their descendants. The person enshrined most at Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively·newly is Lee Soonshin. There are 5 Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively which enshrined Lee Soonshin at Gwangju-Jeonnam, 3 Seowon-Sawoo establiched newly, and 3 Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively at Jeonbuk with one Seowon-Sawoo establiched newly. The construction of Seowon-Sawoo which enshrines Lee Soonshin is related to deification of Lee Soonshin from political power since 1960s. And, the supports from the government caused a boom of restorative & new establishment of Seowon-Sawoo to enshrine persons related to Imjin war(the Japanese Invasion of 1592), Manchu Invation·Jeongyu Invation. It's because they were all persons of defending fatherland. In addition, at Honam, many Seowon-Sawoo were established restoratively & newly for the reason of enshrining persons of defending fatherland. In the mean time, among Seowon-Sawoo established newly at Gwangju-Jeonnam and Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively & newly at Jeonbuk, there are ones to enshrine loyal troops in late Yi Dynasty & independence activists. They are 3 Seowon-Sawoo established restoratively at Jeonbuk, 13 Seowon-Sawoo established newly at Gwangju-Jeonnam, and 7 Seowon-Sawoo established newly at Jeonbuk. However, it was reduced rapidly or stopped after 1980s because they were buried at the National Cemetery or their descendants were in poor surroundings.
