Today I went to Changgyoeng Palace. there is very historical place for me. this palace used for main palace when Japan invasion our country in 1592. The Kyoungbok Palace and Changduk Palace were burned.
This place have sad history king suk-jong alive. There were concubine lady Jang. She was very bad-tempered. She curse the queen Inhyun and then she got poisonous adeath penalty. And King Yeoungjo killed crown prince Sado here to put to rice chest. Japan invasion our country they change this palace a zoo. King injo killed crown prince Sohyun.
Now I will tell you about Changgyoeng Palace's buildings.
First Myeongjeon was place for official event. so this building is main of the buildings. The civil service official exam, was held here. Seond gyeongchunjeon is the building for queen like An-chea. The king Jeongjo and Hyunjong was born here. Third the Hwangyeongjeon was origially used for Nea-jeon. Sometimes king sleep here. Sungmundang used for academic discussion sign board is written by king yeongjo. Fourth Haminjeong's appearance is simiar as coffe shop. we can know it looks like rest place, king yeongjo meet successful student in civil service exam. The last Tongmyeongjeon was living place for king and queen. So it is big.
We can alse see Dancheung and Japsang. We have seen danchueng in temple. Dancheing has meaning below.
Red = fire
Black = water
Green = wood or tree
White = metal
Yellow = earth
Japsang came from China that story of "journey ot west". It protected king in ancient.
The Changgyoeng Palace is very impressive for me in five Korean palace. and I feel sadness because Changgyoeng Palace was used to zoo by Japanese.
