Today, I went to Gyeong-bok palace. Gyeong-bok palace is one of 5 palaces during Joseon dynasty. The main gate of this palace is Gwang-hwa mun. And the main building is Geun-jeong jeon. This is where king and officers meet. So, the rank stones are there. It has 22 rank stone. The purpose of this building is to get ceremony, such as Chinese envoy receptions or, the crown coronation.
Do you know Heung-cheng-mang-cheng? It is a nickname of Gyeon-hoe-ru. It is biggest pavillion in the Korea. Also it has the most stone pillars in Korea. Soong-rae-mun's pillars are 9, Geun-jeong-jeon has 7, and Gyeong-hoe-ru has 11.
