Today, I went to Gyeongun Palace. Have you heard about Gyeongun Palace? Today I learned about it. I knew that gyeongun palace has many historical facts and stories. I will tell you about some stories that I learned. First, Gyeongun Palace was the older brother of King Seongjong lived, but after the Imjin War it became the main palace. Gojong, the king, rebuilt it and announced the change of the name of Joseon to Daehanjeguk. This Palace is the only palace that has western styled buildings.
What are the buildings that you can see in this palace? We can see many things in here. We can see the main gate of Gyeongun Palace, Daehanmun first, and if you look at the figures closely you can see charcters called Japsang. Let's see more. There is a place called 중화전 in the middle of this palace. It is the most important building because it was the place for official events. 석어당 is the only 2 story building in Gyeongun Palace. Queen Inmok was locked here by the order of Prince Gwanghae. 즉조당 was the place for coronations. King Gojong stayed in 전명당 and received foreign ministers as guests here. Also 덕홍정 was the reception hall for foreign guests and 석조전 was a western styled stone building. Finally, 정관헌 was where the king rested. Gojong always drank coffee here.
Today was a very fun day to learn Korean history, using English and I hope for a fun time next month!!
