| Title: | Gangnyeongjeon, Yeonsaengjeon, and Gyeongseongjeon |
| Caption/Description: |
Looking into Gangnyeongjeon compound from a side gate, the large building in the center is Gangnyeongjeon Hall (강녕전; 康寧殿), the nearest building, to the right of the hall, is Yeonsaengjeon (연생전; 延生殿), and the building to the left of the hall is Gyeongseongjeon (경성전; 慶成殿). Yeonsaengjeon, Gyeongseongjeon, and Gangnyeongjeon were all originally built in 1395, the fourth year of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon dynasty and Gyeongbokgung Palace. The buildings were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, and then rebuilt in 1867. In 1917 the buildings were torn down for use in rebuilding Changdeokgung palace. The current buildings were rebuilt in 1995, as part of the Korean government's 40 year initiative to rebuild the structures that were destroyed during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The first two characters of Yeonsaengjeon's name, 延生 – yeonsaeng, mean 'Breath of life' (the last character, 殿 – jeon, just means Hall). Gangnyeongjeon was the most important building in this complex, containing the King's bedchamber. The building was laid out in a checkerboard pattern, with seven chambers on either side of the central chamber, occupied by the King. The other chambers would be occupied by court officials. |
