 Even with these sad sad stories, the ChangGyeongGung Palace are shining brightley as ever. Even all the simple carving has a meaning to it.

 Every palace had a stone bridge between the main Gate and the Throne Hall. And one of it is Okcheongyo.

Which are believed to protect the palace from evil sprits coming from the water.

 Dancheong is the colorful Koream-style decorations that are used on buildings During the Joseon Dynasty. Palaces and Buddhist temple were paintedith Dancheong. This symbolizes the dignity and power of the king. Snd also Dancheong consists of five colors. È­, which is Red, represents fire. ¼ö,which is Black represents sater, ¸ñ Green or blue represent tree of wood, ±Ý white represents metal, and finally, Åä, yellow which represents the earth.
