I saw Gyeongbok Palace today.It is separated in two parts.The outer place is for the ceremonies,official works and events.And the Inner place is for king and queen's individual daily life and official workings.
Gyeonghoeru is for just only party. Yeonsangun had a lots of party so Heungchungmangchung was made in this Gyeonghoeru.There are 48 pillars are standing the Gyeonghoeru.
When we look at them closely,their shapes are square and round.Some are round,and some are square.
This is because the eastern people thought 'plus'and 'minus' must be harmonized in which the king lives.
Next,Gyotaejeon is where the wife of the king lives,and there's no jabsang.
Geunjeongjeon is the main palace of the Gyeongbok Palace.
And also,king and his men had debate for countrical problem.
And there are four guardians and each of them were called Red Pheonix,White Tiger,Black Turtle,and the Blue Dragon.
They thought four of them are protecting the palace from the bad disease or ghosts.
Up on the roof,there is a Jabsang and old people believed it protects the palace from the fire.
In 1895,sad thing had happened.
Queen Min was assaulted by dirty Japanese Killer.
In conclusion,Gyeongbokgung had been suffered all happy and sad incidents which were held in the Joseon Dynasty.It's always been us,and it will be.
I am going to go Gyeongbok Palace if I have enough time. |
