Poseokjeong, King’s Entertainment Place Of Shilla Dynasty In Gyeongju, Korea

in travel •  7 years ago 

Namsan mountain in Gyeongju was very important place of Shilla dynasty.
The first king of Shilla was believed to be born near Namsan mountain, and the first palace had been built near Namsan.
Actually almost of all relics of Shilla dynasty had bee found around the Namsan mountain.

I headed for Poseokjeong on foot to enjoy the scene of country side of Gueongju.
Poseokjeong was a king’s entertaining facility of Shilla dynasty.

The road to Poseokjeong was exceptionally beatifull, I had to stop to enjoy it’s beauty.
I couldn’t remember exact place, but the country side road was so awesome.
There I had took the photos for several minutes.

I walked through this beautiful alley. It gave me a subtle amusement in my heart.

But what I saw at the very end of the alley made me think the meaning of our lives.
I came across the graves by the road.

As I had posted before, the graveyards used to be located in mountain area in Korea.
Mountain has had special meaning in the ancient religion in Korea.
Mountain had been to believed as a place of God.

As passing through the grave area, I asked myself how to live my life.

Finally I arrived at Poseokjeong.
There was nothing left except the trace of the stone structures.

There stood the pines around Poseokjeong.
Poseokjeong was not a big structure.
It was a stone water road to deliver the glasses of wine.
Water flowed from high to low along the stone road.

It seemed that about 10 - 2o persons could sit down along the stone water road.
While drinking, they could enjoy the dance of beautiful women.

Shilla dynasty had been collapsed for 1000 years history.
Actually Poseokjeong was a place relating to the collapse of Shilla dynasty.
The last second king of Shilla dynasty Kyeongae was prisoned by other competitive country of later Baekje kingdom which succeeded the former Baekje dynasty collapsed by Shilla dynasty.

King Kyeongae was forced to commit suicide and Shilla dynasty could last no more.

There were stone pieces scattered near Poseokjeong.
The scattered stones seemed to tell me the destiny of collapsed kingdom.

I never saw anything like that, it's incredible

beautiful place i love it

These very beautiful amazing photography,i like your amazing photography,and i like your photographic works.

Every time I admire any evidence for the existence of life in very distant times, I am full of reverie. What were the thoughts of people who lived then, what were their plans, dreams and customs? Have they considered how life will look on the planet in 1000 years and beyond. I am also wondering what people will think who will discover our dumps for 1000 and perhaps 10,000 years. Will humanity survive, because it seems to me that it is not and not in this form. I wonder through the whole story of the earth how many people lived in it if it would sum up every human born. It is not self-sufficient, how short our life is and how long it can survive something that creates such a frail being that is human.

Beautiful looking this photography,iappreciate your traveling.....

As a Korean American, I thank you for your transcendant photos. Inspires me to share my woodblock prints in the coming weeks, some of which include scenes of Korea.

나무들이 우거져 터널을 만들었습니다
저길을 걷다보면 마음이 편해지고
아늑한 보금자리같은 느낌이 들듯 합니다
포석정에서 음주가무를 즐기는 모습들을 상상해보고 갑니다^^

Very good, its is awesome, and i want to share this!

i want to do something like that

Interesting read. But the walk alley and the graveyard analogy is good. We should all know that there is going to be an end to this road and nothing is every lasting.
It's really a marvel when we see these old relics and the ideas they had in those times behind it. It also shows that in those days people thought so much about how to enjoy life. In most of these places we will always see that there has been enough room for entertainment in lives of people in those days.

nice article
