A local tale related how the mountain opposite that on which the tombs sit got its name; When Gongmin's wife died, he hired geomancers to find a perfect location for which to place her tomb. Becoming upset when each one failed to please him, he ordered that the next one to try would be given anything they desired if they succeeded; however, if they failed him he would kill them on the spot. When one young geomancer told him to review a spot outside Kaesong, Gongmin secretly told his advisors that if he waved his handkerchief they should execute the geomancer.
