Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first palace built by King Taejo after the founding of Joseon, and it was the king's house, the workplace with his servants to take care of the work of the country, and the space that symbolized the Joseon Dynasty.

Gyeongbokgung Palace is the grandest and most magnificent royal palace of Joseon. Outer space where the king takes care of the country's affairs, has a solemnity that makes us nervous from the first step.

Inner space in which the royal family lives is less solemn and elegant and more peaceful.

Imagine the four seasons in Amisan Mountain, the backyard of Gyotaejeon where the queen lived. Take a look at the Amisan chimney, which naturally goes well with the scenery. The back garden that the king had forgotten his worries and rested, has another charm that makes his mind calm every time he takes a step. Autumn in Hyangwonjeong, the back garden of Gyeongbokgung Palace, calms the mood and clears the mind. Looking at Hyangwonjeong, it makes me want to cross the bridge and click a book quietly right away.

Gyeongbokgung Palace has changed from the moment it was born to the present. It was a new building in the early days of the founding of the country, so Gyeongbokgung Palace was shiny and there was nothing old. After King Taejo's reign, the kings stayed in Gyeongbokgung Palace, repaired roofs, built fences, dug ponds, built new palaces, devoted their affection to the housekeeping, continued to beautify, and refurbish them.

However, Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was devastated by the Japanese invasion of Korea, lost its face as a royal palace. After King Seonjo, the kings stayed in Changdeokgung Palace or built a new palace rather than the restoration of Gyeongbuk Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace was a symbol of the Joseon palace, but it was abandoned as a lonely empty palace where only burned buildings remained.

Then Gyeongbokgung Palace came back to life. Heungseon Daewongun built Gyeongbokgung Palace more than 20 times larger than the early days of its foundation.

Here, I will introduce a Korean folk song called Gyeongbokgung Palace Taryeong. This song is said to be a folk song that began to be sung when Gyeongbokgung Palace was built in the late Joseon Dynasty. It is said that men mobilized from all over the country sang about the hardships of work, and it is also said that Heungseon Daewongun satirized it by forcibly carrying out construction work,
