Clans edit
The bon-gwan, or clan homes, of the three most representative clans include Jinju, Ganghwa, and Aneum, the present-day Hamyang.
Jinju Ha clan is divided into Shirang branch (시랑공파, 侍郞公波) founded by Ha Gong-jin (하공진, 河拱辰), Sajik branch (사직공파, 司直公波) founded by and Ha Jin (하진, 河珍), and Dangye branch (단계공파, 丹溪公波) founded by Ha Seong (하성, 河成). Although the three branches seemed to have shared the single common ancestor at one point at least in Silla era, it is unclear which branch was the earliest to emerge. All of the three founders served as the officials during Goryeo era. The clan is sometimes referred as Jinyang Ha clan as Jinyang was the old name for the City of Jinju. [2]
