It is my favorite hobby to take the photos where I am looking around. Some days ago I had visited one shrine of Choson dynasty which is located in Seoul.
The name of the shrine was Sajick Dan. That shrine was built for a pray for the agriculture to the Heaven. At the age of Choson dynasty, the agriculture was the basis of the National Economy.
In ancient times, they had sacrificed the king to hold the ceremony to the Heaven when drought was severe.
They believed that the Heaven did not give them rain when King did not his job well. Of course, it was so long time ago, may be prehistoric ages.
It is interesting, isn’t it. You can kill your king because of the drought. I ‘ve never want to be a king.
Any way Kings needed to serve the ceremonies for the Heaven when something happened.
That shrine is preserved well. It is located near the Blue House, the Office of the President.
Entrance
There is a inner wall and a door to the inside
This stone road is for the Heaven God
They closed the doors, so I couldn’t enter into the shrine
There is nothing special inside except an altar.
But the reason why they built the shrine is important.
It's because the King didn't want to be executed
LOL.
Of course not.
It is the symbol that Kings thought ordinary people's life as the most important thing in their work
These are beautiful photos, @slowwalker, and the shrine looks serene and peaceful.
Your post reminded me of yesterday when I was sitting in my garden. My wife and I did a lot of work to landscape it and plant trees and bushes. But as I sat there I realized we didn't really make the garden - we just arranged it.
The rain fell from the heavens and the sun shone through the summers. We planted and weeded but God gave the increase. That is the true Agriculture of Heaven.
In my tiny little garden I am king, but I am humble enough to know who really made the garden.
Take care, @slowwalker

Thank you for sharing Korean history with us. I love the way the king felt that the common everyday man's life was of utter most importance as he governed. Wouldn't that be wonderful if our leaders felt that way?

서울은 우리나라에서 과거와 현재가 공존하는 곳인 것 같아요
제가 있는 곳도 도심 외진 곳에 몇 군데정도 있어 일반 사람들도 잘 찾지 않는 곳이 대부분이거든요.
저도 그런곳을 발견하면 가방에 카메라를 꺼내들곤 하죠

I don't agree with the killing part but I appreciate that in old cultures usually the ones having the power were also held reaponsible for what happened, good or bad. Unfortunately, I see now the ones having the power not caring about the other ones as they are untouchable.
