서울역사박물관
Today I went to the Seoul Museum of History(서울 역사박물관). Before Seoul was called Hanyang. King Taejo(태조) founded the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. He moved the capital from Gaegyeong (개경) 새 Hanyang (한양). He chose Hanyang because of its beautiful nature and central location. King Taejo (태조) built 5 palaces named Gyeongbok (경복), Gyeonghee (경희), Gyeongun (경운/덕수), Changgyeong (창경), and Changdeok (창덕). I can also remember that Hanyang is surrounded by the four main gates. There are 흥인문 at east, 돈의문 at west, 숭례문 at south, 숙정문 at north. I am very sad that 숭례문 is burned. Anyway I saw Epic Poem (용비어천가) that made me proud being Korean. Hangeul (한글) was invented by King Sejong 'The Great' (세종대왕). Before he made Hangeul, Korean used Chinese characters. That was very difficult to use. King Sejong worried. So he made Hangeul with made great scholars. Know we can write things very easily by Hangeul. Hmm....... I loved Traditional Korean Clothes, too. There are clothes for noble people and there are clothes for common people. Noble people wore colorful clothes what is made of silk. However, common people just wore a white clothes made of cotton and hemp. I learned lots of things at the Seoul Museum of History. I learned about Seoul's market, Seoul people, and I learned that we need to protect Korea's history. |
