The royal family of Joseon Dynasty, located at 1-2 in Hunjeong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, enshrines the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty, and Confucian shrines of the Korean Empire. The area is 186,786 m2. It is also called Taemyo. It was one of the representative buildings symbolizing the royal family and the country during the tyrannical dynasty, as evidenced by the term "jongmyosajik." On January 18, 1963, it was designated as Historic Site No. 125 and was officially registered as a World Cultural Heritage in 1995. It is very close to Jongno 3-ga Station, so if you go out to Exit 11 and walk a little (5-10 meters), you will see Jongmyo Shrine in front of you.
The original Jongmyo system itself originated in ancient China, but the Ming and Qing Dynasties tombs, now located in front of China's Forbidden City, were changed to the name of the Workers' People's Palace of Culture after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which began to be dominated by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, which became a park and lost its function. Thus, in a way, the Korean Jongmyo Shrine is located in the context of the tradition of extermination in our home country. In the end, Chinese scholars have no choice but to study Korea's Jongmyo Shrine if they want to study this part because the system was destroyed through the Cultural Revolution with similar nuances of exploitation in the old era.
