Today I had a first class at Gyeongbok Palace. The temperature outside is very low so my foot became frozen and my teeth are shivering. But the class was continued on the frozen land so I must concentrate on the class.
Gyeongbok palace is the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty it called Beobgung. In Gyeongbok palace, King and goverment officials had studies and meeting to discuse eachother to help the country. And also king and royal family live in the Gyeongbok palace. To this lots of thing in one palace, Gyeongbok palace have many room.
First, I have to divide the palace in to two group, inner palace and outer palace. The outer palace was for king to have ceremony, offical works or have meeting with other countries deplomats. Geun-jeong-jeon is the main building in the Gyeongbok palace and it is very important because it is where have a lots of ceremony. Also king Danjong had a coronation ceremony in that place. It was only building in the palace that look like a two story building. But it have only one stroy building with high ceiling. On the ceiling there are two dragons which represent the king and have five claws.
The Inner palace is where the king and his roal family have daily life and offical working. Sa-jeong-jeon is the private office of the king. This place is a Phyun-jeon in this palace. Gang-neong-jeon is the place where king sleep. So dragon is not carved on the ceiling. Because dragon represent the king so there couldn`t be two kings. And this is the main building. For queen there is Gyo-tae-jeon, it is where queen have sleep. In Joseon Dynasty believe confucianism so queen couldn`t go out the palace in normal times. So king made a little garden, Ahmisan behind Gyo-tae-jeon.
Although there are many other place in Gyeongbok palace but these are the most things I remembered and these place are very important knowledge to me. Today I have great experience and have great photo in my mind. |
