Injeongjeon and Vicinity
Injeongjeon (Hall of Benevolent Rule) is the throne hall of Changdeokgung Palace. It was where major state events were held, such as coronation ceremonies and receptions of foreign envoys and where the officials greeted the king. In front of the hall, rebuilt in 1609, is the courtyard, which was taken as a symbolic area with a royal path and stone markers where officials stood according to rank. A terraced garden was created at the back, leading to Maebong Peak. According to the principles of geomancy, it was believed that the garden channeled the energy of the mountain into the palace. The colonnaded area bordering the courtyard was used for storage and as posts for the royal guards. The outer courtyard bordered by a colonnade in front of Injeongmun Gate achieves exquisite harmony with the uneven natural topography, which was designed by Park Ja-cheong. The two gates (Jinseonmun and Sukjangmun) and its covered walkways enclosing the outer courtyard were restored in 1996.
