Jongmyo

❤Recommendation reason: The Jongmyo Shrine is an important Confucian sacrificial site located in Seoul, South Korea, mainly used to worship the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty. It was built in 1394 by order of Yi Seong-gye, the founding monarch of the Joseon Dynasty. Jongmyo is the royal ancestral hall of the Joseon Dynasty, used for sacrificial ceremonies to express respect and commemorate ancestors. 🌟Highlights: [○] Layout: The ancestral temple consists of the main hall, Yongning Hall and several ancillary buildings. The overall layout is rigorous and embodies the Confucian ritual system. [○]Jeongjeon: The Jeongjeon is the core building of the Jongmyo Shrine, where the tablets of the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty are enshrined. [○] Yongning Hall: Yongning Hall is where the tablets of other royal family members are enshrined. It is slightly smaller than the main hall. [○] Architectural style: The architectural style of the ancestral temple is simple and solemn, reflecting the simplicity and solemnity of Confucian culture. 👍Most Recommended: In 1995, Jongmyo Shrine of Korea was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO for its unique historical and cultural value.
