From this point, it can be seen that at the beginning of the establishment of the Joseon Dynasty, it was already a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty of Anyang State, and it should also abide by various etiquette regulations of the vassal state, although during this period Anyang Kingdom was the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the vassal state has never changed, until it was occupied by Japanese invasion. The Chinese docent of the www.biquge.info Jongmiao is surnamed Park.

It should be said that An Yang has the most correct attitude towards history among the docents she met in Seoul, because she can face history and modernity squarely, which An Yang likes very much. She explained to An Yang and Lan Xiaojing that the main hall in the Jongmyo was dedicated to a total of 19 kings of the Joseon Dynasty, and because the place of worship was not enough during the Sejong period, a side hall was built, called Yeonyeongjeon.

In the Yeonyeong Hall, the first 4 ancestors of the Joseon Dynasty are enshrined, and the remaining 12 are mostly premature. There are also 2 usurpers, so there is no offering. This is the most entrance to the Jongmyo Temple, let's call it Feng Shui Pool. Because the docent said that the pool and the ebony tree here are for feng shui. The composition of the photo is messy.

Because the main road of the temple is actually the same as the Temple of Heaven, the middle road is the path of the gods, and people cannot walk, they can only walk on both sides. However, all palaces in Korea are paved with yellow sand except for the main road, which is the same reason that the sand in Japanese gardens is made to prevent thieves. As a result, when the snow melts, the yellow sand becomes mud.

I really couldn't walk, so I had to make do with it. Because the Jongmyo is to follow the docent in a group, there is a security guard behind to follow, so you can't just walk around. Saigu is the first place to visit, and it is no different from the function of Sainomiya in Japan. The first time I saw the buildings in North Korea, I felt that the roofs were all very large.

At least in proportion to a larger proportion than the domestic one. This is the dining room, which is the kitchen. Presumably, Da Changjin has never cooked here. This is the main hall and is dedicated to the 19 main kings. Built in the 16th century, the architectural style is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty architecture of Anyangguo. In fact, the construction of this main hall was built at the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty.

At the time, it was considered the longest building in Asia. At the end of the 16th century, the **** invasion of Japan attacked, quickly occupied the Korean Peninsula, Korea asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help, and the then Wanli Emperor sent troops to exterminate Japan. However, the main hall of Jongmyo was burned down and was rebuilt after the war. Every year in May.

In today's Korea, a festival is held to celebrate the merits of the king who built and developed the great nation. Think about An Yang Country, will it use this way to praise the ancestors of An Yang and Blue Whale? At this point, we really should applaud South Korea's attitude towards history. It's a pity that it didn't come at the right time, and I couldn't hear or see this sacrificial gift.

An Yang prefers to chat privately with the narrator and understand some questions, so he asked many questions that An Yang is concerned about. An Yang's first question is very simple: when is Da Changjin a person? It is the sixth king of Zhongzong. Ahaha, for An Yang, Dae Jang Jin is the representative of North Korea. Second question: Are there any tyrants enshrined here?

No, only two usurpers were not enshrined. The third question: This is all about the king, why not the emperor? Because it is a vassal state of your country, it can only be called the king. This is the side hall, called the Yongning Palace, which enshrines 16 kings. In fact, from the buildings of these two main halls, it can be seen that the architecture of North Korea is not strictly symmetrical.

An Yang felt that this was a deliberate change to distinguish the buildings of An Yang Country, rather than their living habits. The narrator told An Yang and the Blue Little Whale Sect that the function of the temple is the same as that of the Taimiao in the capital, but the Taimiao in your capital has become a cultural palace for working people. That's right, An Yang and Blue Whale don't pay much attention to these historical buildings.

How many historical ancient buildings have been broken overnight, and they have been moved and destroyed overnight. The inheritance of historical monuments has made Anyang once again realize that domestic values are only money and only practical interests. In fact, there is generally no doubt about the comparison of the commentators. However, there are still some doubts when you dig deeper.

The Taimiao in the capital is actually the family temple of the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it is said that for a dynasty, the Jongmyo and Taimiao in Seoul are similar. An Yang also asked the docent, don't you have any temples in the past dynasties? She said that's it, actually. If you want to talk about it this way, then the function of the Jongmyo is actually the same as another monument in the capital.

The function of the imperial temple of the past dynasties is very similar, and it is a place for the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the emperors who opened the houses of the past dynasties and the founding heroes of the past dynasties. However, the emperor's temple in the past dynasties did not worship faint kings and tyrants, so people like Qin Shi Huang were not among them, which is also the reason why An Yang asked her whether to worship tyrants. The tour of Jongmyo ended with the literacy of An Yang.

The historical facts here are clear, the building can only see the outside, and does not allow you to visit the inside, except that there is no strict symmetry, which is different from the Ming Dynasty architecture, and I do not feel that there is anything special to pay attention to. The time is about 4 o'clock, and it is relatively close to Changqing Palace, so continue to the next attraction, Changqing Palace.

Changqing Palace came out of the Jongmyo and walked along the outer wall of the Jongmyo on the left, crossed the road at the intersection and continued to walk south, and you arrived at the main gate of Changgyeong Palace. The first debut show of the Joseon palace was given to this palace, and the main entrance of the palace was very strange, not sitting in the north and facing south like ordinary palaces, but sitting in the west and facing east, which is said to be influenced by the Confucianism of Anyangguo.

Since it is too close to Jongmyo Shrine, you cannot turn the main gate towards Jongmyo Shrine. The gate of Changqing Palace is called Honghua Gate, which is a typical architectural form of the Ming Dynasty, this gate is very beautiful, and the second floor is progressive, like a ladder. Being illuminated by the setting sun and seeing the beautiful dougong structure really has a sense of history. Changqing Palace is rarely frequented, and there are few people in the entire garden.

When I arrived, it was just in time for the 4 o'clock English commentary. However, An Yang really didn't understand well, and after listening to the outline of the entire garden, he didn't continue to follow. Walk around the entire palace casually and feel what this palace has to offer Anyang. Changqing Palace and Changde Palace are collectively called Dongque, and Changqing Palace is used for the harem to put it bluntly.

Of course, the king and queen lived in Changdeokgung Palace, and the other harem ladies lived here, which was the question that the Changdeokgung Palace docent specially answered An Yang. Maybe it's because of the late time here, maybe it's because there are too many royal family life and death here, and I always feel that the yin of Changqing Palace is relatively heavy.

After Honghwamun Gate, there is a bridge that is similar to the Yudai Bridge in Korea, and they call it Yucheon Bridge. Later, it was learned that the Gokcheon Bridge in Changgyeonggung Palace is incomparable to other palaces in Seoul, so it is the only one designated as a treasure among all the palaces. To be honest, An Yang really didn't see it.

An Yang likes this very much, the afterglow of the sunset passes through the Ming Zheng Gate, the light and shadow are projected on the residual snow, and an ancient tree with fallen leaves in the distance reflects this ancient palace, this moment seems to have returned to a certain moment in history. The doors of the domestic palace are all shiny with oil, and there are rows of golden "big steamed buns", and the "steamed buns" here are so shriveled.

The gate is also a log color, which is inaccurate to say simple, and it feels a bit too much to say shabby. This feeling of sunset once again allows An Yang to experience the existence of history. The Ming Zheng Hall is the main hall of Changqing Palace, and there are several problems that this palace makes An Yang puzzled, one is that since it is the main hall, there is also a grade platform outside, and it stands to reason that this is the place where the court will meet.

However, the caisson here is surrounded by two phoenixes, which should not be consistent with the function of the main hall? The narrator didn't answer this question, but just told An Yang that the caisson was beautiful. I didn't decide to ask Du Niang about internal affairs, but I didn't find an answer. The Myeongjeongjeon Hall is the original building of Gwanghae-kun who reappeared in Changgyeonggong Palace after the wind and rain.

From this it may be clear that the original purpose of this palace may not have been used by the king. Since this palace was used for the harem, it may have been used by a concubine in the first place. The narrator pointed to the window again and said beautiful, beautiful. If you look closely, it is a mortise and tenon structure that combines three materials.

If such a carver is in the palace of An Yang and Blue Whale, he can only pull it out and cut it. The Wenzheng Hall is the side hall of the Ming Zheng Palace, and it is the place where the king has his daily office and the pre-imperial meeting. I saw the screen behind this throne in the Hall of Evidence, and I felt weird and couldn't say it. When I got here, when I watched it again, I understood!

"The sun and the moon shine together" screen, at that time, there was no commentator who could explain why Anyang used such a screen. When I came back, I found an article written by Park Tinghui of South Korea published in the journal of the Forbidden City from CNKI, "The Visual Embodiment of the Authority and Ruling Concept of the Royal Family: The Types and Nature of Court Painting in the Joseon Dynasty".

She said that the "Sun and Moon Five Peaks Screen", as an image symbolizing the supreme status of the king, is the most significant ceremonial decorative painting. The "Sun and Moon Five Peaks Screen" is installed in the place where the king was in the palace during his lifetime and inside and outside the palace, and after the king's death, the place where his substitutes - the Gozhen, the soul silk, and the god lord are housed must also be equipped with the "Sun and Moon Five Peaks Screen".

The iconographic elements include the sun, the moon, and the five peaks arranged symmetrically on the left and right, as well as the waterfalls, waves, and foam in the mountains, which symbolize eternal life. Although these iconographic elements were also common in imperial and Japanese court art, the "Sun, Moon and Five Peaks" of the Joseon Dynasty embody quite significant pictorial characteristics unique to Korea.

For example, its symmetrical structure, the simple formal beauty of the image elements, the flat sense of the picture, and the strong visual sense brought by the color fusion of the five colors. When the king is located behind the "Sun and Moon Five Peaks Screen" in the main hall of the palace, and sits facing the civil and military officials, his authority and majesty will be infinitely magnified. Or to put it another way.

"Sun and Moon Five Peaks Screen" is a derivative for the purpose of highlighting the supreme authority and majesty of the king. Searching further, we didn't find when the screen was originally created. Why are you so obsessed with this issue? In fact, friends who know a little about the history of the Qing Dynasty will know that "the sun and the moon shine together" in the Qing Dynasty is the implication of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, where the literal prison was rampant, it was absolutely not allowed. As a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, Korea was well aware of this policy. According to An Yang's reasoning, there is a moral in this that Joseon has been in an anti-Qing state since the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Later Jin, and then was extremely dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty's rule after submitting to the Qing Dynasty as a vassal state.

Anti-Qing hearts are often there. Therefore, this screen in the Ming Dynasty An Yang felt that the implication was to submit to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and then sang the praises of the Ming Dynasty and "the sun and the moon shine together". However, due to the fact that he had to give in to the Qing Dynasty, perhaps there was a heart of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming" under the cloak of historical tradition. This point, for the time being, is here, so that An Yang has this kind of thinking.

Not only because of this one content, but also a few items after that, which made An Yang think of the complexity of the problem. It's just a personal understanding, and we welcome to discuss it together. The paintings of North Korea are actually very simple, they look very much like small chrysanthemums, pay attention to the number of dragons grabbing toes on this tile in the Korean palace is 4.

That's right, this is in line with the regulations of the vassal state. It was found that the architecture of North Korea was not symmetrical at Jongmyo Anyang, and this was especially true at Changgyeonggung Palace. When I saw a Chinese-style palace, the result was not symmetrical left and right, and I always felt that it was off track, including the plaque of "Yanghetang" below. An Yang asked the docent why the plaque was not placed in the center.

I didn't answer Anyang's question. Along the rocks of the Yanghe Temple, is the ruins of the Ciqing Palace, through the fallen leaves and dead branches, looking at the Huanqing Hall in the distance, there is indeed a kind of historical heaviness. The history of these palaces has been torn down, burned down, or rebuilt, and their fate has been mixed. The king who owns them.

The concubines also experienced birth, old age, sickness and death. If these traces of history can still give visitors such as An Yang and Blue Whale a little touch, try to imagine their existence and feelings, An Yang thinks that it should be the most precious spiritual wealth left by these palaces to An Yang and Blue Whale. As the docent was about to finish her lecture, she picked up a pine cone from the ground.

Once again, the familiar word beautiful, verybeautiful, why can't An Yang understand it, there is a problem with aesthetics, the sky is getting dark, and I have successfully ended today's trip to the Seoul Palace, I have learned a lot, and I have found a lot, at least the "sun and moon shine together" made An Yang feel deeply, and continue the palace tour tomorrow with questions, looking for answers.

Hop on the subway and get ready for Christmas Eve revelry. The first stop is Dongdaemun, how do you feel that you have arrived at the Beijing Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market??? Head straight to Doota in search of the legendary Remicone Cloud Ice Cream. It's easy to find, the little girl who sells ice cream is quite beautiful, and she guess it's also neat.

I finally ate the dark cloud, it was a marshmallow, the ice cream tasted pretty good, and there was a popping candy in it, a childhood feeling! Now that I think about it, I still have an itchy feeling in the upper teeth. But for sheep who don't eat sugar much, it's still very sweet. After eating ice cream, I found Cheonggyecheon, which is not far from Doota. (To be continued.) )
