Yi Hwang(李滉 1501-1570) was one of the two most prominent Korean Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty, the other being his younger contemporary Yi I (Yulgok).
Yi Hwang was born in On'gye-ri (now Tosan), North Gyeongsang Province, on November 25, 1501.
On his death, Yi Hwang was posthumously promoted to the highest ministerial rank, and his mortuary tablet is housed in a Confucian shrine as well as in the shrine of King Seonjo.

Largely as a result of the efforts of Jeong and his associates, the Buddhists were cast out of the seat of power in the coup d'etat of 1398, resulting in the founding of the Joseon dynasty, which would endure for almost five centuries.
During the this time Neo-Confucian studies flourished in Korea in literary works and debates, such as those held between Yi Hwang and Yi I.
Neo-Confucianism also made its way into Japan, bringing a degree of influence, although nothing like that seen in Korea.
