Today, I saw many things in Changyung Palace. In the outer palace, there are Myeongjeong Jeon, the place for official events, Sungmun Dang, a place for academic discussion, and lastly Munjung Jeon. In the inner palace, there are Gyeonchun Jeon,, a place for the queens, Hwangyeong Jeon, a sleeping place for kings and TongmyeongJeon, a living place for the Royal family. Also, there are HaminJeong, where Yeongjo met the student with the highest grade at the civil service exam. Other things I was interested in are Okcheongyo, Dancheong,and Japsang. Okcheongyo is a bridge that connects the king's land from the others'. There are monster carvings on the bridge, which is believed to protect the palace from the evil spirits. Dancheong is a decoration used in the roof of buildings, and it has many usages. It contains 5 colors, which are red, black, green, white, and yellow. Each of these represent tuesday to saturday, and the 5 element of the earth, fire, water, tree, metal, and soil. It also protects the wood from rotting, and keeps it very beautiful. Finally, Japsang is from a story named Journey to the West. It is a figure which is believed to protect the castle. This was my first time I've ever been to Changyung Palace. and it was meanigful to know about it.

Fantastic job!
