Yesterday was the last class in 담덕 인텐시브 and we went to Unhyun Palace. This place is not the palace because it don`t have 단청 and 잡상. So this place is named palace, because king's father lived in there and king had a life in there. The owner of this palace was 흥선대원군 and his son was King Gojong. At the time when they lived Japan wants to control over the Joseon.
흥선대원군 is a person who was had royal blood but 안동 김씨 clan didn`t care about him. Because he hing out with gangsters and pretended to be a fool. But it was just one of his plan to be safe from 안동 김씨. When he became a king`s father he ruled over the country because king Gojong was too young at that time and that called 세도정치. 흥선대원군 did lots of things. He rebuilt the Gyeongbok Palace to rebuilt the authority of king. But he made the bad image by making money to built Gyeongbok Palace.
Also he had a good image to the people because he hate novels that he crash the 서원 which didn`t pay tax and do some bad things to the people. So he crash all the 서원 except 47 of them. Other thing that he fameous for is 척화비. He hate western people because they invade Joseon. The 척화비 is a stone said that we must not trade with western or talk to them. But queen 민 had different idea about that. She wants to open the gate and had developed things to the outside but 흥선대원군 didn`t.
In the Unhyun Palace I saw lots of buildings but it wasn`t very interesting. But with each other we had a snow fight and it was very fun. Every time when I had a class I was tired all the time but I learn a lot so I`m very saisfied. |
