Today I went to Gyeongbok palace and I'm going to tell about Geunjeongjeon and Gyeonghoeru.
Geunjeongjeon is main building of Gyeongbok palace so coronation, royal weddings were held here. Also king discuss official work in there.
Gyeonghoeru is a large pavilion for resting and hosting parties. It had 48 pillars and Hyangwonjeon is resting place for royal family, visitors could not enter there. The pond is squared and island is in the center is rounded. The square means the earth and the circle is the heaven. It comes from the yin and Yang theory. I want to go there again.
