I went to Seoul Museum of History last month. I especially want to talk about Hanyang (Seoul). King Taejo founded the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. King Taejo moved the capital from Gaegyeong (Goreo's capital, right now is known as Gaeseong) to Hanyang (right know Seoul). It's because Hanyang has a beautiful nature. He built Sajik and Jongmyo first. And then he built the 5 palace.
Hanyang was surrounded by 4 big gates that are 흥인문(east), 돈의문(west), 숭례문(south) and 숙정문(north).
The Joseon Dynasty lasted 500 years, before Japan attacked us. |
