Today, we went to Changgyeong palace. It is the palace that King Seongjong built for his mother and grandmother. It was also used for a main palace at back time of Joseon. Sadly, Kyoungbock palace the main palace was burnt down. It is a beautiful palace then others. However, it has a sadhistory. First, Lady Jang and Prince Sado died. Second, the Japanese made Changgyeong palace to the zoo. It's ashame that our Korea's wonderful palace was changed by a nouseful zoo! On the other hand, there is an interesting fact. Most all of the palaces, the main gate is headed to the South. But, Changgyeong palace was headed to the West. Now, I will talk about Dancheong. It used to have two color which is Red and blue. However, people thought tehy need more color to make more better so they multiplied yellow, black green, white. So, this maked five colors(red, black, green, white, yellow). It is symbolizing the dignity and power of the king. They have three reasons of why they sued dancheong that time. First, they wanted to make the palace mroe beautiful then it was. Next, dancheong's paint had technical skills to make the wood not get destroied fast, easily. And finally, it maked bugs not come near. The color made bugs painful. So, they couldn't come near the palace.

I knowticed that there are a lot of things to represent Korea throughout the world. But, it was ashamed that Japanese made a great palace to the zoo. However, I think it's more important to represent Korea and forget about the past bad things and try to make new good stuffs.
