The state-run Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) reported last Wednesday that it has remade the sanctum complex close Queen Sindeok's tomb - known as Jeongneung - in Seongbuk District, northern Seoul. It was standard amid Joseon to fabricate such offices so relatives could get ready to perform customs for their dead predecessors. "We trust through the remaking of the holy place complex, Jeongneung's pride, history and personality are likewise restored," said Choi Gil-seop of the CHA's illustrious castles and tombs division.
The sanctum complex in Jeongneung was decimated when the tomb was moved from Jeongdong, close Deoksu Palace, to its present area in 1409. Truth be told, the entombment site - one of 40 imperial tombs of Joseon on the Unesco World Heritage list - endured and did not resemble an illustrious tomb for quite a long time.
Once more, the purpose behind this takes us back to the adoration between King Taejo and Queen Sindeok. The story of how they met is surely understood in Korea.The ruler got to be perched amid a chase and found a well. He asked a lady drawing water from the well to give him some. As he was drinking it he found a willow leaf gliding in the water and asked the lady for what good reason it arrived. She answered that she had dropped the leaf in the dish to keep him from drinking the water too quick and disquieting his stomach.
