Five Major Royal Palaces in Seoul - Information

 We called Royal Palace in Joseon Dynasty as houses which King is presently living or which lived one time before he becomes the King or which the King stayed one time or more during his travel. But it is principally used to put the word of Royal Palace where King is not only presently living but also doing political activity. There are five major Royal Palaces in Seoul as Deoksugung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Chandeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace and Gyeonghuigung Palace. People has sometimes called these palaces as North Palace, Middle Palace or East Palace or West Palace referring to each location.     .

There are not many people know all these palaces were damaged or destroyed by Japanese in 93% during Japanese ruling times which means only 7 percent left over when Korea is independent from Japan. This is obvious evidence why and how Japanese treat Korea as such which should not forget and remind to every Korean. All destroyed and damaged palaces have been recently restored after independent in reference to historical records. There is clear reason why they destroyed or damaged because they do not like to see Korea keep spiritual energy to next generation, cultural erase. 

1.   Deoksugung Palace

      

This is one of the five palaces of Korea’s last dynasty, the Joseon Dynasty, which lasted for over 500 years from 1392 until 1910. The dynasty had two critical moments: one the end of the 16th century and the other at the end of the 19th century. Both of them were related to this palace and to Japanese invasion coincidentally.

In 1592, the Japanese army landed in Busan and marched to the capital, Seoul. Prior to their arrival, King Seonjo fled to Uiju, where he stayed for one and a half years. When he returned to Seoul, he had no place to stay because all of the palaces had been burned down during the war. So, he used this place, which was originally the residence of one of his relative’s families, as a temporary palace. Prince Gwanghaegun succeeded King Seonjo and then renamed this place “Hyeongungung Palace”. After he was overthrown by King Injo, it was not used for about 270 years.

After King Gojong returned from the refuge with Russian legation, he chose to reside in this palace. He renamed this palace “Gyeongungung Palace” and expanded it. He also proclaimed to the world the establishment of the Daehan Empire and raised his own status from king to that of an emperor. He remained at the palace even after he had been forced to hand over the throne to his son, Emperor Sunjong. The name of the palace was changed at this time to Deoksugung Palace, meaning the “Palace of virtuous longevity.” In 1910, the official Japanese colonization of the Daehan Empire was completed. In 1919, Gojong passed away. His sudden death was one of the causes of the March 1st Independence movement.

Under the colonial rule of Japan, the palace was converted into a public park by Japan. The scale of Deoksugung Palace was decreased to one-third its original size, and the number of buildings reduced to just one-tenth. Please see more details at http://www.deoksugung.go.kr:8081/

2.   Gyeongbokgung Palace

It was in 1395, three years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded by King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye), when the construction of the main royal Palace was completed after the capital of the newly founded dynasty moved from Gaeseong to Seoul (then known as Hanyang). The Palace was named Gyeongbokgung Palace, the "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven." With Mount Bugaksan to its rear and Mount Namsan in the foreground, the site of Gyeongbokgung Palace was at the heart of Seoul and, indeed, deemed auspicious according to the traditional practice of geomancy.

In front of Gwanghwamun Gate, the main entrance to the Palace, ran Yukjo-geori (Street of Six Ministries, today's Sejongno), home to major government offices. Along the central axis upon which Gwanghwamun Gate stood was the nucleus of the Palace, including the throne hall, council hall and king's residence. The government ministry district and main buildings of Gyeongbokgung Palace formed the heart of the capital city of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. After all the Palaces in the capital were razed by the Japanese during the Hideyoshi invasions of 1592-'98, Changdeokgung Palace, a secondary Palace, was rebuilt and served as the main Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace was left derelict for the next 273 years. It was finally reconstructed in 1867 by the order of the Prince Regent. The Palace Prince Regent Heungseon reconstructed was markedly different from the original. Some 500 buildings were built on a site of over 40 hectares and constituted a small city. The architectural principles of ancient China were harmoniously incorporated into both the tradition and the appearance of the Joseon royal court. Gyeongbokgung Palace was largely torn down during the Japanese occupation. ninety three percent of the restored buildings were dismantled, Gwanghwamun Gate was dismantled and relocated to the east, and an enormous building housing the Japanese Government-General was constructed in front of the main sector of the Palace.

An effort to fully restore Gyeongbokgung Palace to its former glory has been ongoing since 1990. The Japanese Government-General building was finally removed, and Heungnyemun Gate was restored to its original state. The royal living quarters and the East Palace for the crown prince were also restored to their original state. Please see more details at http://www.royalpalace.go.kr:8080/html/eng_gbg/main/main.jsp

3.   Chandeokgung Palace

     Changdeokgung Palace was registered as UNESCO World heritage in 1997 and also known as Donggwol, the Eastern Palace, because of its location to the east of Gyeongbokgung Palace. For 270 years, the palace was home to the Joseon government and was also the favored residence of many Joseon Dynasty kings. This makes Changdeokgung Palace the longest-serving royal residential palace. Compared to other palaces, Changdeokgung Palace is well-preserved and still has many of its original features. A particular virtue of Changdeokgung Palace is the way its buildings blend into the surrounding landscape. The palace's rear garden, Huwon, is considered an excellent example of Korean garden design and is the only rear garden of any Korea Palace. In 1997, Changdeokgung Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

      Visitors to Changdeokgung Palace might also like to see the nearby Changgyeonggung Palace as well as the recently restored Naeuiwon (Royal infirmary) at the entrance to Changdeokgung Palace. 

      Huwon: a garden of natural beauty is self-contained and occupies sixty percent of Changdeokgung. The palace buildings are situated on the ridge of Bugaksan (Mt.) and have very few artificial features in order to blend into their natural surroundings. In the center of Huwon is a large pond, Buyongji, along with Buyongjeong (Pavilion) and Juhapru (Pavilion). A cross-shaped roof and two supporting pillars rising from the pond make the design of Buyongjeong unique. It is said that King Jeongjo (the twenty-second king of the Joseon Dynasty) and his courtiers often enjoyed fishing here at Buyongjeong. In the past Juhapru housed a royal library and was a place where both king and courtiers studied and discussed politics. Eosumun (Gate), the entrance to Juhapru, has a symbolic meaning for kings and government officials because of its name which literally means “Fish cannot live without water” but is usually understood as “The ruler should always put his people first.” This is main entrance to the Changdeokgung palace. When it was first built, there was a white granite substructure, on the top of which a two-storied gate building was erected. This is a typical structure of the entrance to our palace that was transmitted from the Three Kingdoms period. Unfortunately, now, the substructure has disappeared; only the two-storied building remains. This is quite different from the structure of the Gwanghwamun, the main entrance to the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty, which was erected on the structure with three open arches on the ground.

     As one may observe, the Donhwamun is elegant but simple because it was built as an entrance to a separate palace of the Changdeokgung palace. The Donhwamun was set on fire by the Japanese invaders, but it was reconstructed as it had been by King Seonjo in 1607. It's the oldest entrance to remain in Seoul. Only the threshold of the entrance was reconstructed so that an automobile could pass through it easily. (Treasure No.383). Please see more details at http://eng.cdg.go.kr/main/main.htm.

            5.   Gyeonghuigung Palace

The Gyeonghuigung Palace was completed after an extended period of construction, during the 12th year of the reign of Gwanghaegun (1620). After the Japanese invasion in 1592, Changdeokgung Place was used as the residence of the king, while Gyeonghuigung Palace was used as a detached palace. The palaces were also named according to their geological location: Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung were called the East Palaces, while Gyeonghuigung was called the West Palace. During its heyday, Gyeonghuigung comprised more than 100 halls, most of which were burnt down in two separate conflagrations, one during the 29th year of the reign of King Sunjo (1829) and the other during the 20th year of the reign of King Gojong. The remaining halls also faced similar fates, as the Japanese colonialists demolished most of them to build schools to educate their children. After the national liberation in 1945, Seoul High School was built on the site, where it remained until 1978. In 1985, several buildings including Sungjeongjeon Hall were restored.

CNN recommended Shiluksa at the 50 beautiful places to visit in South Korea as 35 ranking at https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/south-korea-beautiful-places/index.html.

But you would reduce this transportation time to 3 hours for round trip in case you use private car or rent car which you could save one hour for the transportation. 

4.     Overall Remarks.

      Shiluksa Temple is consisting with following annex hall or pagoda and other Korea Treasures. I will introduce these items according to visiting course. If you like to look a video, please link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyRBnd5A9fw

1)     Main Gate ( Bongmisan Shiluksa) : I walked to the main Gate and found ticketing booth at left and check if I am supposed to buy the ticket or not and confirmed no need to buy the ticket due to senior, above 65 years old. As I entering the Main Gate, I could see this temple is unusually clean and well organized with surrounding healthy green pine trees.

2)     2nd Gate and Natural Garden : When I walked through the main gate, I saw 2nd Gate in front which is not far. I kept walking through the 2nd Gate and found neat and smart nature green garden looks I would be somewhere in the middle of unpolluted nature green filed. Please see at the photo and video.

3)     Geungnakbojeon (Main Temple) : Geungnakbojeon was rebuilt by King of Sookjong in 1678 and heavily renovated by King of Jeongjo in 1797. This Main Building was built with 9 square meter in front and 6 square meters at side and stably positioning at the middle of whole temple as square and accumulating style building. Amita Triad Buddha has been sitting on top of Buddha pagoda who does an act of charity to mankind. There are two supporting Buddha siting left and right as see at the photo who were splendidly decorated and well matching. Buddhist Painting for Buddha Triad was drawn on wall where Amita Triad Buddha seating which uses only two color, red and green. This painting is good matching to the Amita Triad Buddha in terms of color and position as see at the photo.  

4)     Multiple Story Stone Pagoda

The Multiple Story Stone Pagoda has been installed in front of Geungnakbojeon (Main Temple) which was particularly made with white marble stone and generally assembled on double layer foundation looks same as structure as Shilla Dynasty or Koryeo Dynasty. But detailed structure is different from others at these times like lotus imprint at foundation stone and bracken pattern at side.  

5)     Multiple Story Jeontap (Clay Pagoda)

This Pagoda has been installed at rock hill in South East of the Shiluksa Temple where you could look down widely opened South Han River flowing and twisting through Yeoju City. It was common understanding Pagoda would be normally and principally built around middle of the temple. But this principal has been change according to trend change. The pagodas were built at widely open view position like rock hill or peak cliff top where earth energy is concentrating in focus. This Pagoda was built at the rock hill outside the temple taking into account this trend change. Jeontap means to install pagoda with clay brick which is mostly at Sothern part or middle part of country.

The Pagoda is total 7 story and 9.4m high which foundation is made with granite stone. They installed clay brick in circular on top of the foundation.

24. Negative and positive energy prevailing at mountain and river in Korea which could inevitably make stronger collision. Any species living and boning at these area should take these strong mental energy by nature.  

25. The most beautiful azalea in Korea among three counties, China, Japan and Korea. Quality of ginseng and taste of water in Korea are also the best among these three countries.

27. Korean is one of strongest folk having strong mental energy in the World.

28. Chinese used to call them as gentleman by themselves referring to vast country, endless desert, and wide plateau. It might look Chinese boring at these vast country would be generous and strong mind. But their mental energy is less than Koreran in fact. Please see followings are explainable example. Japanese established Manju country in 1932 in China which was governing the country for 13 years and killed 32 million Chinese like Nanjing Slot. But no Chinese was tried to kill Japanese high officials. While Koreans were killed by Japanese as 32 thousand people during the same period which was about 1/1000 of Chinese case. But Patriot Ahn Jung Guen killed Japanese Prime Minister, Ito Hirobui at Harbin Station in China and Patriot Youn Bonggil also killed Japanese Mr. Siragawa General and others at Shanghai in 1932. There were many other Japanese were killed by Korean later on.

29. Mental energy between Korean and Chinese are fundamentally different, Chinese collecting mental energy from widely spread area, widely distributed to many area while Korean collecting concentrated mental energy at small mountain and river, focusing mental energy. Korean should be mentally strong energy originated from their nature, strong focussing at one point, no dispersing. .

30. Koreans used to bench marking to Steel Mill in Pakistan or went abroad to Philippine for studding in 1950 right after independent from Japan. But what happen nowadays Filipinos and Pakistanis are in opposite coming to Korea for studding and bench marking which was 2 or 3^rd economy country from bottom and now looking for world 10^th economic position.

Some Korean are concerning about possible case Chinese take over Korean position in economy. Please don't be scare Chinese because Korean mental energy is principally different. Title of strong IT country to Korea is not so simply taken to anybody so simply and easily. There is periodical boosting terms to Korea which have come to Korea with 180 years interval. This is right time which comes to Korea at any moment now. There are many barometers or statistics showing negative recently in Korea.  But please don’t be afraid. Koreans are not the same folk characters like Filipino, Argentina and Helenian who have not taken any action until their economy tumbling down to end, almost no recovery. Koreans shall not let Korea economy falling down to end like that.

Some people are also insisting to add some others area as additional best scenery which are somewhat different from this list.
