Today I went Seoul Museum of History. I had been here for two times- with friends, and with family. In this museum, there was alot interesting things. Such as 자격루, 천상열차분야지도, 수선전도and용비어천가.
In this museum, most interesting relic is 천상열차분야지도. Before visiting this museum, I thought western's scientific studies were better than Korean's investigation. But it wasn't. Because people of Joseon already suryed sky and draw the elaborate map of stars in Korea's sky.
Seoul Museum of history is behand 경희 palace, which we went because we had extra time. Sadly, 경희 palace is badly destoryed now. So we just can see enterance of palace, jungjun, and Pyunjun.
Lee Sung gye betrayed Gorye, and established Joseon. Joseon's capital city, Seoul is surrounded with many mountains. Inner four mountains are 북악산, 남산, 인왕산, and 낙산.Outer four mountains are 관악산, 북한산, 아차산, and 덕유산.
In Joseon dynasty, there were many inventings. Such as Hangul, water clock, sun clock, and many more. I think officers who thought Hangul is rubbish just because China's Ming Dynasty will think Joseon is not their followers. Why didn't they thought Joseon and Ming is same as two country, not King and officer relationship.
Lee SUng gye changed capital because in Ga-sung, which was Gorye's capital, there wer too much officers who had loyalty in Gorye, not Joseon.
With this trip, I can have alot knowledge about Joseon, and Seoul's history.
