Today, I went to the changgyeung palace. It was built by King Seongjong. The Kings of the Chosun Dynasty, sometime used this palace as a main palace, because other main palaces were burnt. Actually, this was built for King Seongjong's mother and his grandmother. But, this palace had mainly three historical event which is very sad. First, Janghebin(장희빈) was killed in here. Also, prince Sado died here inside the rice chest. Lastly, Japanese changed this palace in to a zoo when they ruled us. But it was changed into palace again in 1984. The most interesting thing that I have saw today was Honghwamun. Because, it shows us how big power the King had at that time by looking at the height of it. It is very big. And also, I think it shows the pride of the King, just like a lofty gate we saw yesterday in Namsan Hanok village. But, it's much more bigger than lofty gate. Lastly, this gate has Dancheong which is a decoration on the buildings which has 5 colors. Red, Black, Green, White, Yellow. Each of them represent somethings. For example, Red represents fire, Black represents water, and Green represents tree or wood. And White represents metal, and finally, yellow represents earth. I think these are interesting because they show us how our ancesters think about the meaning of it while making these things. |
