    This building enshrines the spirit tablets of the six chiefs of the Jinhan confederacy.

    According to the History of the Three Kingdoms (Samguk sagi), there were once six villages in the various mountain valleys of the eastern Gyeongsang region which had been established by refugees from the Gojoseon kingdom (2333-108 BCE) to the north. In 69 BCE, the six village chiefs all gathered in one of the villages to discuss forming a kingdom and selecting a king. During the meeting, a strange light shone from the sky, and when the light was followed, a large egg was discovered. A boy came out of the egg who radiated light and made animals dance. He was raised by one of the chiefs, and when he was 13 years old, they made him king. He was Bak Hyeokgeose, the founder of the Silla kingdom (57 BCE-935 CE).

    Later, King Yuri (r. 24-57), the grandson of Hyeokgeose and the 3rd ruler of Silla, elevated the status of the six villages to that of districts and bestowed surnames to the people of each of the districts - Yi, Choe, Son, Jeong, Bae, and Seol.

    This shrine honoring the six Jinhan chiefs was originally established in 1970 under the name Yangsanjae, after the name of the village, Yangsan, where the six chiefs gathered. However, in 2019, a new building was constructed and the shrine's name was changed to Yukbujeon, meaning "Hall of the Six Districts."
