A Study on Seolgwoldoan/西闕圖案 and the the management of Gyeonghigung palace/慶熙宮 during the Reign of King Jeongjo/正祖 Lee, Kang-Geun Professor, Gyeongju University In this essay, I study about the architectural change and the management of the Gyeonghuigung palace in Jeongjo's reign. In his Crown-prince days, King Jeongjo/正祖 lived in this palace and wrote many articles such as poems, narratives about this palace. One of them is Gyeonghuigungji/慶熙宮志, describing the function and relative location of all buildings under the concept of Samjo/三朝. He built a library in the name of Jeongsaekdang/貞賾堂 to Jonhyungak/尊賢閣 nearby Heungjeongdang/興政堂. After the death of King Yeongjo, the grandfather of Jeongjo, Jajeongjeon/資政殿 was designated as Binjeon/殯殿, the Hall where a coffin is placed until the funeral day, and Taenyungjeon/泰寧殿 as Honjeon/魂殿, the Hall where a memorial service is held for the late king during three years. In the tenth year of Jeongjo, Crown-prince Munhyo Seja/文孝世子 died, Taenyungjon was designated as Honjeon. So he enlarged the west-nothern quarter of Gyeonghuigung palace and newly built two gates such as Jeongtaemoon/正兌門 and Youngseonmoom/寧善門 between Taenyungmoon/泰寧門 and Geumsangmoon/金商門. It was a good chance within ten years to him to repair the problematic buildings and stone walls of Gyeonghuigung palace. In the 11th, 14th, 15th, 21st year of Jeongjo, Gyeonghuigung palace was continuously repaired and that the 23rd year, the welcoming ceremony of Chinese Representatives was held in Sungjeongjon/崇政殿, the royal audience chamber of Gyeonghuigung palace. King Soonjo, the son of Jeongjo, resided in Gyeonghuigung palace four and half years intermittently in his reign. Especially He changed the name of four buildings from Jangrakjon/長樂殿, Heungjeongdang/興政堂, Jajeongjeon/資政殿, Kwangmyungjeon/光明殿 to chwihwajeon/翠華殿, Youngmundang/迎文堂, Younyoungjeon延英殿/, Jangrakjeon長樂殿. I don't know the reason why he contrive the new name. In the 29th year of Soonjo, naejeon/內殿 of Gyeonghuigung palace was burnt down. After the reconstruction in the 31st year of Soonjo, the image of many buildings was changed, so became incongrous with the image of Seolgwoldoan/西闕圖案. I interpreted that this painting was produced in the reign of Soonjo with many reasons. But I cannot help defering dating till a later date.
