Life & career

Bak Chung-jwa (朴忠佐) was a Goryeo official of the Hamyang Park clan who passed the civil examination under King Chungsuk. He is said to have exchanged ideas with Yi Je-hyeon and others at the Manquantang in Yuan's capital and contributed to establishing Neo-Confucian thought. He served as Chief Councillor and Director of the Finance Commission, was enfeoffed as Prince Hamyang, and received the posthumous title Munje.

He appears in the Goryeosa biographies as a figure from Hamyang, though records are limited; a surviving epitaph supplies family details such as his mother and wife. He is reported to have been buried in Gaegyeong rather than his home Hamyang.
