There was 5 palace in the Joeson Dynesty. Today I went in one of them, the Gyeongbok palace. Gyeongbok palace is the main palace at that time.Gyeongbok means 'Great fortune' Gyeongbok palace was built by Taejo. There are lots of stories in the Gyeongbok palace. I want to tell you the stories from the palace.

      First, I want to tell you how they found the spot for the Gyeongbok palace. Before Hanyang the capital was Gagyeong. Taejo tried to find a new spot for the new palace. Once they found a good place for the new palace. But the person going by said ' If you go more you will find a better spot for the palace.' So they founded a place that has 4 moutains around and a water in front. And that was Hanyang.

     Next, Do you know how many buildings were in the Gyeongbok palace at the first time?? There was 360building at the palace. But now the japan burined them and filled it up with grass. And the palace became more larger. But at the past it was very hard to move places. I was even intrested and amazed when I heard this story.

   Last, today and on the past there was 48 stone pillars at the Gyeong-hoe-ru. And on that stone pillar there was a dragon going up to the sky also, it was more beautiful. But the japan buried them and we cut the outside squared and the inside round.

   I think the japan really hated us. They burined up many things in Gyeongbok palace, and even killed Queen Min.

   This was all the stories that I know about the Gyeongbok palace. And I hope that I can learn more stories about here and I could tell you more.
