Today, I went to Gyeongbok palace.Gyeongbok means kings big grace and wise rulling and people live without worrying.Word gyeongbok is from china book named sigung.The palace is divided into Inner palace and outer palace.Inner palace is for king and queen's daily life and official working.The outer palace are for ceremonies official workings and events.The most famous building in Gyeongbok palace is Gyeong hoe ru.Gyeong hoe ru is the place where king had parties, you can see Gyeong hoe ru at 10,000 won bill.It has 48 stone pillars.Around Gyeong hoe ru there are ponds around them.There are fishes in the pond.The story about Gyeong hoe ru is from yin and yang theory. The king and queen were separate each other. The king's sleeping quarters was gang neong jeon. The queens living quarter was Gyo tae jeon.There are sad stories at Gyeong bok palace.Queen min was killed by japanese.Many joseon people was furious about that.The Ja geong jeon was for king's mother.Heung seon dae won gun built it.According history about Joseon Dynasty only king could get out of the palace the queen couldn't get out of the palace. |
