Where kings of Choson Dynasty were working at

20170921

As I posted before, there was a more convenient place for King to work just like Oval room of the President of America, it was a Sa Jeong Jeon palace which has meaing of taking care of people with his best.

Sa Jeong Jeon was located just behind of the official office, Geun Geong Jeon, 3 minutes on foot.

You need to pass a gate for Sa Jeong Jeon, the name of the gate is Sa Jeong Moon. You coud look at the Sa Jeong Jeon through the gate.

They devided the space due to it's usage and purpose.

Even though it's the same space for ruling people, it was strictly divided.

At the center of Sa Jeong Jeon, there was a drawing of king's symbol and his chair. The chair was humble.

In front of Sa Jeon Jeon, there was a sundial.

As I posted before, time and season was very important to the King of agricultural society. If you look at carefully, you could notice the reason why they put the sundial in front of Sa Jeong Jeon.
It means that King need to work more carefully and in detail in this room

Actually there were 3 rooms for king's common daily work.
It depended on seasons. In spring, summer and fall when weather was fine, King and Officials were working at Sa Jeong Jeon, But in winter or cold season in spring and fall, they moved to different rooms for warming

There were 2 rooms for these purpose which were located in left and right of Sa Jeon Jeon.

There was no chimney in Sa Jeon Jeon,

At front of the Sa Seong Jeon, the right was a spring room the name of 10 thousands spring room and the left was a thousand fall room.

10 thousands spring room

Thousand fall room

You can see the chimney at spring and fall room.
There were one more chimney in fall room for the winter.

Inside of king's working room was humble and as same as novel people's library.

Ceiling was not so colorful than the official building.

They believed that King should work in more silent atmosphere.

Any way the basic patterns were lotus.

Here I'd like to give you a quiz.
Why they named spring room 10 thousands. and fall thousand ?

It's because King should eager for Spring 10 times more than fall.
Why? Ask your daddy or grandpa, please.

I guess, farmers heart is as same as all over the world.
