Heungnyemun (Korean: 흥례문; Hanja: 興禮門) is a gate of the palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, South Korea.

History

[edit]

Heungnyemun is the second gate of the three gate system and entrance to the oejo (외조; 外朝; the outermost and most public-facing part of Joseon palaces[1]).[2] It was originally called Jeongmun (정문; 正門; Chŏngmun),[3] and was named Hongnyemun (홍례문; 弘禮門) in 1426.[4][5][6] After it was reconstructed, it received its current name.[7] The name change was to avoid using an identical Hanja character as was used in the birth name of the Chinese Qianlong Emperor.[8] It was demolished in July 1914 for the Chōsen Industrial Exhibition.[9][10] In its place was built the temporary Exhibition Building No. 1, which was completed by 1915.[11] In 1916, the Government-General of Chōsen Building began to be built in its place. After that building was demolished, Heungnyemun was reconstructed between September 11, 1997 to October 26, 2001.[12]
