Hello, My name is Max.
I went to Seoul Museum of History yesterday.
I want to tell you about the history of Seoul.
King Taejo founded the Joseon Dynasty in 1392.
He moved the capital from Gaeyeong (today known as Gaeseong) to Hanyang (modern day Seoul). He chose Hanyang
because of its mountain's protection and the Four Main Gates.
They were Heongin-gate(east), Doneui-gate(west), sungrea-gate(south) and Sookjung-gate(north).
The Joseon dynasty lasted 500 years.Until then, Hangyang was safe. I think Seoul is safe right now because Hanyang wasn't destroyed then.
