Changgyeong Gung : Palace of Tragedy

in #travel7 years ago

20180102

Changgyeong Gung had been built in King Seong Jong of Choson Dynasty at 1483 AD.

This palace had been used for the official ceremony of the Kingdom, for example coronation and welcome ceremony for the foreign diplomats.

It was said that Changgyeong Gung had suffered several fire disasters in it’s history.

Changgyeong Gung was a stage of tragic struggle around King.
One Queen was sentenced to death amongst the struggle.
She was described as an wicked women, but as you know, history is a record of the winner.

The most tragic incident was this palace turn into a Zoo under the Japanese Rule.

The major buildings had been destroyed by Japanese Imperialist for making parks for ordinary people. But at that time, everyone knew very well the reason of making Park in Changgyeong Gung. Japanese Imperialist had tried to weaken the Royalty of people to Choson Kingdom.

As Changgyeong Gung had been changed into Zoo, the name of Palace was also changed into Changgyeong Won. Here Won means Park.

Up until 1981 years, the decision turn the Park into the Palace was made.

Zoo and animals were move to Seoul Grand Park. The palace had been rebuilt for years.

I had been in Changgyeong Gung for 40 years ago when it was a Zoo Park last time.

So it was amazing to look at real appearance of the Palace.

Changgyeong Gung was located in eastern part of Chang Deok Gung what I posted last time.

In my guess, the pics explain better than my poor English.

Let’ s go.

I looked at Sun behind the trees walking over from Chang Deok Gung to Changgyeong Gung.

Scene at dusk was awesome

I could look down the Palace on the way from Chang Deok Gung

There were several extraordinary stones on the road

I took some pics of main building of Changgyeong Gung

One of the best Pavilion
The name of this pavilion is 'Ham In Jeong' which means 'Pavilion of Filling Goodness '

Interesting name of gate 'Accepting Sunshine Gate'

I love these pictures. It takes me right back to my time in South Korea. The performance that is conducted in the front of the complex was I interesting to me. It shows the cultural dedication and pride of the Korean people.

멋지네요 ㅎㅎ 한번 가봐야겠어요

I have a novel with a story story in the palace that you write it.
the author is a korean man with a background of war stories, honor, devotion and betrayal.

I had read the dark history of the Korean nation when occupied by japan. this is the same with our country, aceh and indonesia that ever felt dark due to colonized japan.

but as bad as any colonist, history must be straightened out. and the relics that had been confused must be rebuilt.
but the Korean nation has mupu menta herself. they are advancing economically, technologically and culturally.

Wowwwwwwww. This is a beautiful comment, straight from the heart! The korean nation are strong people doing excellently in the world today. Nice comment! Cheers friend.

I think, it is a comment of the children of the nation who have heard the story of the imprisonment of the same nation.thank's my friend

You are welcome dear friend! Smiles.
