Taebaek City has Taebaeksan Mountain. It has great historical significance in the division and reconciliation of the Korean Peninsula. In particular, in the long history of the Korean Peninsula for 5,000 years, the division of the nation and the rise and fall of nations continued, and it became difficult to access Mountain.

Even though the nation is divided, the customs are the same. The Korean people (Samhan), who moved to the south, found a mountain geographically similar to Baekdusan Mountain in the north, named it Taebaeksan Mountain , built an altar on the top of the mountain, and performed ancestral rites to the sky as an old custom.

The Fourth River Cultural Research Center is located in Taebaek, the backbone of the Baekdudaegan. Taebaek City has Samsujeom, a watershed where the Han River to the west, the Nakdong River to the south, and the Osipcheon River to the east begin.

The fourth river, which starts at the third point, represents the river of love, reconciliation, healing, and life that flows north and covers the entire Korean peninsula divided by war and conflict.
