Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty, was built after King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. He had the capital moved to Hanyang during the fourth year of his reign (1395). Its name, literally meaning great fortune, originated with a phrase of Sigyeong (Book of Songs), quoted by Jeong Do-jeon, an eminent scholar in the Joseon Dynasty: I've already drunk and have been full with virtue, so I will help you get great fortune in my late year as a man of virtue.

Gyotaejeon is the queen's quarters. The queen is also called the mother of the people. This is because she is literally seen as the mother of the people. In order to set an example, the queen often did work that ordinary women would do. She picked berries, raised silkworms and wove cloth. She also managed the affairs of all the women who lived in the palace, including consorts and court ladies. The queen's most important task by far was producing a prince to carry on the family line. The king and queen sleeping together were seen as the act of producing the next king of Joseon.
