I have two Essays about Changgyeong Palace.
**The First Essay**
Today I went to Changgyeong Palace and saw Myeongjeong Jeon, Munjeong Jeon, and Sungmun Dang, which are outer palaces, and Gyeongchun Jeon, Hwangyeong Jeon, Yanghwa Dang, and Tongmyeong Jeon, which are Inner palaces. Among these, I was most intereste in Tongmyeong Jeon.
Tongmyeong Jeon, is the biggest palace among the Inner palaces. Also, it was a living place for the king and the queen.The most beautiful woman in the Joseon Dynasty was 'Jang Oak Jeon', who is famous with the name 'Jang Hye Been' and also King GyeongJong's mother, had died here because of the well known rumor that she had cursed the 'In Hyeon Queen'.
**The Second Essay**
Today I went to Changgyeong Palace. I saw many things, but I was attracted to 옥천교, because I was amazed about how ancient people made the bridge with the stones at that time.
옥천교 is a bridge, that separated King's world and commoner's world. Every palaces, except 'Kyungbok' palace, called this bridge 옥천교. At Kyungbok palace, they call this bridge 영제교. 영제교 has 4 '천록' two to the Western direction, and other two to Eastern direction. Also, the ancient people believed there are monster carvings between the arches. The carvings protect the place from the evil spirits, which come from the water.
I still wonder how ancient people made a stone bridge.
THE END!!!! |
