Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁

Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty, was built after King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. He had the capital moved to Hanyang during the fourth year of his reign (1395). Its name, literally meaning “great fortune,” originated with a phrase of Sigyeong (Book of Songs), quoted by Jeong Do-jeon, an eminent scholar in the Joseon Dynasty: "I've already drunk and have been full with virtue, so I will help you get great fortune in my late year as a man of virtue.”


Gangnyeongjeon Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁 강녕전

Gangnyeongjeon was the king’s private quarters where the king would rest. The queen did not live with the king here. According to Neo-confucian doctrine, there were separate living quarters for husband and wife in the royal family, as well as upper-class families. The king’s room is very sparse and simple. It was meant as a sign of the king’s frugality – it also served as an example for his people.
