Today I went to Gyeongbok Palace.
It,s the one of the five palaces in Josen Dynasty.
Gyeongbok palace was the main palace and the largest among all five. the main gate of the palace is Gwanghwamun.
In Gyeonbok palace ,there are inner palace and outer palace. in inner palace stayed king and queen, and outer palace was for the business and official work.
King's place was called 'Daejeon' and Queen's place is Junggungjeon',the king stayed in 'Gang neong Jeon'.On Gang neung Jeon,there are no dragon ridges on the roof. because in that time, people thought that the king was a dragon and they thought it is not good to have two dragons in one palace. and Sajeonjeon is the private office of the king and Geunjeonjeon is the main building of the palace. Queen's living quarter is Gyotaejeon.
Gyeongheoru is a large pavillion for resting and hosting parties.
It was amazing to see Gyeong bok palace it self. I wanted to visit there next time again. |
