Palaces are excellent architecture which has the most magnificence and size of the period. East Asian palaces of China, Japan and Korea are mostly formed within one big boundary. China has emphasized the vertical axis of the meridian and some palaces are arranged symmetric in a row on each side of the east and west according to the period of time. Ancient China during the Han dynasty built an international standardized East Asian palace in Jangan during that time. Korean palaces got influence from the Chinese emphasizing the vertical axis layout with the ‘Jeonjohuchim’ (front governing and back living space) and 3 area of the royal palace system. For Korea, as the palace was situated within parts of the mountain, the northern living space went to the west or eastern side making a 90° rotation of the axis. The changed axis made a change of the building layout of the living space according to the natural geographic features. The building plans also have differences with China. Especially with the auxiliary buildings on the sides of the main building have differences among the main palace, sub palace and living palace. The living space normally has an aisle connected with the 2 buildings making a ‘工’ shape. Japanese palaces had the vertical axis centered layout with the flow of the Chinese culture. The differences are in the relationship with the Tairi(內裏) space and Jyotou(朝堂) space. The palaces of China and Korea have developed with separate spaces for the king’s ruling and official’s governing space. As stated above, the palaces from countries of East Asia had influence from China, but developed differently according to their politics, society and culture with different construction conceptions. Palaces after the ancient period developed as excellent architecture reflecting the unique architectural culture of each country with sublimation succession.
