Today,I tell about Gyeongbok palace.
In Joseon Dynasty,There were five palace,Gyeongbok,Gyeong-un,Gyeong Hee,Changgyeong and Changdeok Palaces One of them,I explain about Gyeongbok palace. Gyeong Palaces' mean is "Great Fortune" The main gate of Gyeongbokgung is Gwanghwamun. There are several unfortunate stories relating to Gwanghwamun. The original gate was destoyed during the Japanese invasion of 1592 and then rebuilt in 1867 by Heungseon Dawongun. The outer palace there is Geunjeongjeon, the throne hall and main builging of the palace. And cermonies such as coronations, royal weddings and Chinese envoy receptions were held here, as well as national official works. Sajeongjeon is a part of the outer palace, and it functioned as the king's office where he does his daily work. Gangnyeongjeon is a part of the inner palace; this was the king's living quarters, where he would sleep and rest after work. Gyotaejeon is a part of the inner palace for queen. Jageongjeon is a part of the inner palace for queen mother. Gyeonghoeru is a large pavilion used for relaxation and official parties. This pavilion was a private resting palace for the royal family.(Hyangwonjeong) I felt that this palace is interesting and beautiful. |
