This is components of Korean Gyeongbokgung Palace; the complex of Geoncheonggung.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.”Geoncheonggung 건청궁Geoncheonggung is where the last king of Joseon, King Gojong, and his wife lived. It was built as a palace within a palace with personal family funds in 1873, the year in which King Gojong began his rule. It was built not in the traditional palace style but in the style of an upper-class Joseon house. King Gojong spent a great deal of time here. Also, the entry of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty for October 8, 1895 contains the following sad story. “The queen passed away here at Geoncheonggung.” Queen Myeongseong was killed during an attack by the Japanese that began on the night of October 7, 1895, and lasted until early the next morning. A Japanese garrison and armed band of assassins pushed into Gyeongbokgung with knives. They murdered the queen, and then poured gasoline over her body. It was the beginning of what would be a long and difficult Japanese occupation. Several months after having lost his wife – who was also his political partner, King Gojong left Gyeongbokgung and never returned. This left Gyeongbokgung open to the Japanese, who vandalized and ransacked it with impunity. In the process the building was also destroyed In 2007 the Korean government rebuilt Geoncheonggung. According to records, which noted that King Gojong and Queen Myeongseong liked persimmons, a persimmon tree was planted in the rear garden in their memory.Features:Complex of GeoncheonggungNumber of Unique Meshes: 576Collision: YesVertex Count: 4 - 499,904LODs: NONumber of Material Instances: 31Number of Textures: 100Texture Resolutions: (32*32, 2048*2048, 4096*4096)Supported Development Platforms:Windows: (Yes)Mac: (No)
