 After Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea in the late 16th century, the temple was renamed "Pyochuongsa" (temple of fidelity displayed) in honor of Songun Yu Jeong, the monk who led various righteous armies against the Japanese.The Pyochuong Seowon, the only seowon located within the grounds of a Buddhist temple, was also constructed there in Songun's memory.Due to its rich history and location in the Yeongnam Alps, Pyochungsa is a leading tourist attraction of Miryang.
