Today, I went to the Seoul Museum of History. The Chosun was built by Tae-Jo Lee syung gae and he also chose the Hanyang for capital city. It is because their soil il healthy and it has river to farming. Hanyang can seperate into 6 parts.
First, 육조street means the backbone of state administary. This is the main gate of Gyeongbokgung.
중촌is where middle people lived. it is community of technical specialists. 남촌is the capital at the foot of Namsan and also means the bedrock of Hanyang society. 북촌 is afluent neighborhood. The novels and Yangban lived there. 운종가 is commercial center of Choson. It became bigger as the population continued to grow. Finally, 성저십리is 10li radius outside of city walls.
In addition, I will shortly talk about the marring. Now people get marries with meetings but in the past, the parents choose the husband and wife cannot disagree. |
