This is components of Korean Gyeongbokgung Palace; the complex of Geonchunmun Gate.KOREA HERITAGE SERVICE [KHS]Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty, was built after King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. He had the capital moved to Hanyang during the fourth year of his reign (1395). Its name, literally meaning “great fortune,” originated with a phrase of Sigyeong (Book of Songs), quoted by Jeong Do-jeon, an eminent scholar in the Joseon Dynasty: "I've already drunk and have been full with virtue, so I will help you get great fortune in my late year as a man of virtue.”Geonchunmun Gate of Gyeongbokgung 건춘문Geonchunmun is the east gate of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Its name, literally "promoting spring", originates in the ancient belief that the east corresponds with spring. A high stone foundation was constructed with an arch-shaped gate in the center. The arch is 16.5 Ja high and 15 Ja wide according to the linear measure used during the Joseon period.Its structure is as follows: the substructure was constructed higher than that of a palace wall. The gate is pierced through by an arch, topped with a tower. When necessary, sentinels climbed up to the tower. They utilized stone staircases, one at the right and the other at left. The staircases incline so steeply that one feels as if the person were climbing a ladder. However, railings are installed in consideration of safety.Leaving the staircase, one reaches a side entrance which is connected with a wall along the edges of the substructure.Features:complex of GeonchunmunNumber of Unique Meshes: 144Collision: YesVertex Count: 8 - 142,106LODs: NoNumber of Materials and Material Instances: 73Number of Textures: 196Texture Resolutions: (512*512, 1024*1024, 2048*2048, 4096*4096)Supported Development Platforms:Windows: (Yes)Mac: (No)
