Today, I went to Deoksu palace.
I thought that it will be hot today because it was totally HOT yesterday.
But what I thought was totally wrong.
It was a perfect day to look around!!
I knew that Gyeongun was the real name of Deoksu palace.
But when I learn that Japan changed the name, I got very mad.
How can Japan change the other country's palace's name?
I can't understand it!!
I entered the main gate, Daehanmun.
And saw an ENORMOUS building, Junghwajeon.
Inside Junghwaheon, there was a throne beautifully decorated with gold.
I was looking around with my teacher and friends.
And saw an interesting building,Seokeodang.
The teacher said that Seokeodang is the only two story building in the palace.
Also I saw many buildings like-Jeukjodang, Jeonmyeongdang, Hamnyeongjeon, and...more.
But the most interesting was Jeonggwangheon.
I like the name too..
It was the place where King Gojong relaxed.
He also enjoyed coffee too.
Soon, I wanted to be King Gojong.
Today, I learned a lot of things about Deoksu.. no, Gyeongun Palace.
If I have a chance, I want to visit here again.
Thank you!^^
Good work, your explanations and writing style are excellent. I do need to mention to you that the Japanese influenced the name change of Gyeongun to Deoksu, but of course the Japanese cannot change the name of another country's palace-they didn't do this, it was actually King Gojong's son who changed the name because Gojong could no longer be Emperor, and was forced to live in this palace, his son changed the name to mean a long life for his father. :) |
