Today, I went to the Deoksu Palace. Its real name is Gyeongun Palace. Its name was changed by the Japanese. Gyeongbok Palace is the main palace in Joseon before the Imjin war. After the Imjin war, Gyeongbok Palace was burned down. So King Sun jo(14th king) found King Seong jong(9th king)‘s brother Wolsan in Daegoon's old house.
There are many buildings in Gyeongun Palace. I think SeokJojeon is the best. SeokJojeon is the only western style buliding in Korea's traditional palaces. It has three stories. The first floor is used for foreign people waiting for the king. The second floor is a meeting hall, and the third floor is the king and queen's bedroom. There is a waterfall in the yard. But it means bad things to Koreans. In nature, waterfall's water falls from the top to the bottom, but this waterfall falls from the bottom up. It means revolt, so people disliked it. Today it is used as a museum.
I liked this trip, because it makes me want to learn many things. Now, I want to visit other palaces, too.
Good job! Be careful with some sentences and how you use some words such as the part you explain the waterfall. |
