Today, we went to Changgyeong palace. It is the palace that King Seongjong built for his mother and grandmother. It was also used as a main palace back at the time of Joseon. Sadly, Kyoungbock palace the main palace was burnt down. It is a beautiful palace. However, it has a sad history. First, Lady Jang and Prince Sado died there. Second, the Japanese made Changgyeong palace into a zoo. It's a shame that our Korea's wonderful palace was changed by a noisy zoo! On the other hand, there is an interesting fact. IN most 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 colors which are Red and blue. However, people thought they needed more colors to make the palaces better, so they added yellow, black green, white. So, this made five colors(red, black, green, white, yellow). It symnbolizes the dignity and power of the king. They have three reasons for why they used dancheong that time. First, they wanted to make the palace more beautiful than it was. Next, dancheong's paint had technical skills to make the wood not get destroyed fast, easily. And finally, it made repelled bugs. The color made bugs painful. So, they couldn't come near the palace.
I noticed that there are a lot of things to represent Korea throughout the world. But, it was ashamed that Japanese made a great palace into a zoo. However, I think it's more important to represent Korea and forget about the bad things in the past and try to make new good stuffs.
Good job, but be careful of spelling errors and past tenses. (maked- made) |
