To begin with, we usually call gyeongun, deoksu palace. But this is the wrong name. It has changed because of japanese. Gyeongun palace has experienced a lot of changes. First thing is that junghwajeon's walls have been collapsed by japanese. That's why the door to junghwajeon is so unfriendly. Explaining more about junghwajeon, it is the throne hall. Many official events happened there. Second change is about the water fountain. At that time of Joseon, people felt very disapointed about the fountain in front of the seokjojeon. There are two reason for this. First thing is that water is going up. Although it is still going down, you understand what I'm saying. Second thing is that the animal in the fountain are seals. It is supposed to be turtle but japanese changed it to seal. Finally, I will talk about jeonggwangheon. It is famous for the place where kojong drank coffee. It has a golden picture in the balcony. It consists bats representing fortune and deer. Farther more, this place is made of both korean and western style of architect. To sum up, I talked about few changes of gyeongun palace and jeonggwangheon. I had an interesting time there. |
