Today, I went to Gyeongun Palace. At there, I realized our history related to Gyeongun Palace, and function of each exhibit.
When it comes to history, I can explain firstly about the name of Gyeongun Palace. I believe that you are more familiar to the Deoksu Palace than Gyeongun Palace. However, Deoksu Palace is the name that is changed from Gyeongun Palace by emperor Go Jong(고종황제). Moreover, Changduk Palace became the main palace from Gyeongbok Palace after the Imjin war because it burned by Japan. Nevertheless, emperor Go Jong rebulit Gyeongun Palace and moved there, and he announced 대한제국.
On the other hand, the bulidings, which can classifed to gates and chamber. I go inside by through 대한문, and I saw 중화전 which was the most important building because it was the place for the official events and an enthronement ceremony. Inside 중화전, I saw King's thorne which was the seat of the king. At the back of throne, there was folding screen that is decorated by the Sun, the Moon, five mountains, and rainfalls. The Sun is stands for King, while the Moon means queen. Five mountains represent people that lived in 조선.
Last but not least, 단청 was another impression, too. 단청 is adorned by four colors, red, green, black, white. Red means fire, green is stands for trees, black represents water, and white symbolizes medal.
