I went to the Seoul Museum of History today.
I learned that Joseon chose Hanyang as the new capital in 1394. It was chosen
as the capitol because it was the best place according to Feng shui and
Confucianism. I saw a model of the six ministries street too. Six ministries
street was the street leading to Gwanghwamun. The government offices lined the
east and west side. Also, there were 3 basic villages in Hanyang. It was Bukchon,
Jungchon, and Namchon. The royal families and high level officers lived in
Bukchon. In Jungchon, middle class people lived there and poor noblemen lived
in Namchon. Hopae was an identification card of Joseon. On the front, it had
the person¡¯s name, class, and date of birth. And on the back, it had the date
of issue. This was used to enter the gate. It was my first time going to this
museum and I enjoyed it. But I don¡¯t like museums very much so it was a little
boring.¡±¡±
