I went to Changdeok palace.
Then I will explain you about it. Changdeok palace is oned of the eastern palce. It was built in early joseon dynasty. This palace was became a UNESCO world hesitage site. The reason is that Changdeok palace is built in harmony with nature. Compared with Gyeonbok palace, Gyeongbok palace is built in very flat land. But Changdeok palace preserve the nature thus the location of the buildings are unbalanced. Then I will talking about the Chinese scholar tree. For the legend. It was planted in place. It symbolized the three top official who worked under the China. They also represneted the Korean top officials. People also belived these tree is protect the palace against evil spirit.
At last, I will explain about the last loyal families. The last queen of Joseon faces the Japanese annexation as well as eh Korean war. This also was the place whre the last crown prince spent the rest of his tragic life with his wife, a Japanese princess. The Japanese wanted the royal family of Joseon to die out.
That's why he forced to move to Japan and marry a Japanese princess who was not able to have a baby. But they were able to have one sone. Their only son. Lee-gu. who married with Forign woman was forced to divorce her when they came to Korea. because the Lee family did not wanted him to have a half blood . He did not have a second wife, no children.
He died lonely in Japan. Thank you for reading my essay |
