한글 내용

민동량의 효성을 기리기 위하여 그의 마을에 세운 효자각으로 정면 1칸 측면 1칸 겹처마 맞배지붕의 목조기와집으로 단청이 잘 되었다. 편액은 "효자 증통훈대부리조좌낭민동양지문 상지륙년 병인사월 일명정(孝子贈通訓大夫吏曹佐郎閔東亮之門上之六年丙寅四月日命旌)"이라 되어 있다. 민동량은 본관이 여흥, 자는 군삼, 호는 송암이며 어려서부터 총명하여 글을 읽고 해독하니 신동이라 했다. 이미 칠팔세 때에도 부모가 병이 나면 그 곁을 떠나지 아니하고 부모님의 병을 간호했다. 부모병을 치료하고자 왼손 네 손가락을 잘라 피를 넣어 드렸으며, 좋은 약이라면 가재를 돌보지 않고 구하여 썼다. 부모가 돌아가시자 3년 동안 시묘살이를 했다. 순조 6년(1806)에 효자의 정려와 복호의 은전이 내렸으며 통훈대부 이조좌랑에 증직되었다.

영어 내용

The Commemorative Pavilion of Min Dong-ryang was erected in his home village to honor his filial devotion. It is a wooden building with a gable, tiled roof with double-layered eaves, and is notable for its beautiful dancheong (ornamental painting). It measures one kan (a unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) at the front and one kan at the sides.
As Min Dong-ryang (family clan: Yeoheung, courtesy name: Gunsam, pen-name: Songam) showed great intelligence from a young age and was able to read and understand classical texts, he was called a prodigy.
When he was just seven or eight years old, his parents fell ill, so he stayed by their side and nursed them attentively. To cure his parents, he cut four fingers of his left hand in order to give them his blood. He also strived to procure good medicines for them, regardless of the cost. After his parents passed away, he spent the next three years mourning by their graveside.
In 1806, the sixth year of the reign of King Sunjo, Min Dong-ryang was granted a stele in recognition of his filial devotion and exempted from corvee and tax duties, and he was also posthumously promoted to Deputy of the Ministry of Personnel and given the title of a grade-3 civil official (tonghundaebu).
