Description
Literary Nonfiction. Northeast Asia Studies. The Joseon dynasty was a time of great cultural development for the Korean nation, ruling Korea for over half a millennium. It was during this dynasty that many aspects of what is now considered Korean traditional culture—Confucianism in particular—took root and flowered. This book examines Joseon's cultural heritage which is deeply imbued with Confucian culture, revealing unique aspects about the kingdom and its legacy. The royal palaces are architectural expressions of Joseon society and its ruling philosophy. The royal tombs are unique in their completeness as resting places of Joseon kings and queens. The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty are unequalled in their richness as a source of historical and cultural information about Korean history.
