Today, my friends and I went to Gyeongun Palace. At first, we saw the main gate, 대한문. Then there was a bridge which separated the king's space from the common people's space. After crossing over the bridge and we entered the 중화문 to go to 중화전. In front of 중화전, there was 삼도 which king and officials walked across and also twelve rank stone that classified the officials' classes. And the ground rock named 박석 was very special. Different from other countries palaces, the floor rock wasn't made of marvel rock but ugly 박석. Because it doesn't reflect the sunshine and also isn't slippery on rainy or snowy days.
There were many buildings in Gyeongun Palace, one of my favorite is 정광헌. 정광헌 is a structure that made of beautiful combination of western style and Korean traditional style. The 고종 emperor also loved this building and used to drink coffee in here.
After studying about Gyeongun Palace, I learned and also realized three things. First, I thought the king's location was very grand in that time by 광해군's story. Second, our ancestors were funny as explained in the coffee episode. It is ridiculous for people today. Lastly, I wassurprised at our ancestor's scientific construction skills which made great buildings in Gyeongun Palace. Also it was amazing that some of the buildings were merged with the western style architecture.
It was a new and an amazing experience to me in Gyeongun Palace.
Thank you for reading my essay.
Good job overall but be careful with your prepositions. Other than that, it was a good essay! |
