Today, I went to Deoksu Palace. Actually the real name for Deoksu Palace is KeongEun Palace. Many people say the Japanese changed the name. I learned that after King Gojong or Emperor Gojong gave the king's power to Emporor Soonjong, he changed the name from KeongEun Palace to Deoksu Palace. The Deoksu Palace's main gate is Dae Han door. After we entered the Dae Han door, on our left, there was the Hamabe, which means every people who ride a horse or palanquin has to come down. If we go a bit more there is Jung Hwa Jeon which was the most important building, because official events took place here. The throne is beautifully decorated, and behind the folding screen, there is a secret door. This door shows that King Gojong was afraid of enemies like the Japanese. Seok Eo Dang is the only two-story building. Inmok the Queen Mother was locked in here for 7 years. Prince Kwang-Hae ordered officials to lock Queen Inmok in because the offcials said, 영창대군 should be the proper king. After she was locked in, Prince Kwang-Hae sent 영창대군 to Kang-Hwa Island for deportation. Suk-Ju-Jeon is a western style stone building. Jong-Kwang-Hyeon is a place where King Gojong rested. He, also enjoyed drinking coffee. His son, Emperor SoonJong, also loved drinking coffee, too, but the some nasty officials put poison inside his coffee but Emperor Soonjong didn't know anything so when he drank it and he died of poison.
※ I wonder how the Dynasty perished when there were many wise kings. Some kings who were evil. As the time passed many Dynastys perished because of the Kings, who loved to play and did not do the things they have to do. But, how would the King's mind change??
Good job overall, but you need to be careful with the word "the." You use it a lot and someimes you do not need it. The last part that is in pink needed a lot of editing. You do not need this kind of information. |
