Inside of the Pavilion in Gunwee Area, Korea

in #photography5 years ago

As entering into the pavilion, the first thing I saw was the gate deteriorating slowly.
It looked like seeing the destiny of Choson dynasty.
Confucianism was the ideology of Choson dynasty.
And this kinds of pavilion was the symbol of Confucianism.

The building was simple.
Unlike Buddhist Architecture, Confucius buildings are simple and moderate.
The abstinence was the very important virtue in Confucianism.
So those virtues of Confucianism were reflected in buildings.
There was no colors on the wall and the pillars.

The scholars had played the important role as like the monks in Buddhism.
This pavilion was the place where the local scholars were gathered together.

Now there was no scholars anymore in the pavilion.
Only the floor was covered with the dusts.

Beautiful architectural design

Thank you for the photos, dear @slowwalker
It was very interesting to see these historical places.
Surprisingly well preserved all these pavilions.

Their architecture is quite impressive!

Thanks for introducing traditional place.

Dude I am so jealous, I wish I was there.

Those buildings are very solidly built @slowwalker and I like the way they make a gate for it that also has a roof too, beautifully made.

You are right it is easy to see the traces of aging but on first picture there are something like plasterboard that sometimes people use for renovation, that is hopefully help to protect the building. It is interesting that Confucianism reflected their main values in the way of treating their buildings, probably so that scholars not distracted during the lessons.
