According to the Confucian viewpoint, the layout was in the form of three groups.

However, Taejong, who took the throne after King Jeongjong , decided to relocate to Hanyang . As a preliminary work for Jaecheondo, King Taejong ordered the construction of a palace in Hyanggyo-dong, and construction began in 1404 (the 4th year of King Taejong) and was completed in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejong). That palace is Changdeokgung. However, there is already Gyeongbokgung Palace in Hanyang, so building a new palace meant that Taejong did not want to stay in Gyeongbokgung Palace. In the Joseon Dynasty, kings often lived alternately between the two palaces of this type of palace system (兩闕体制) . Taejong left Gaegyeong just before the completion of Changdeokgung and went to Changdeokgung, not Gyeongbokgung, but on the way to Hanyang. .After returning to Hanyang in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejong), Taejong lived mainly at Changdeokgung until he was abdicated to his son Sejong in 1418 (the 18th year of King Taejong) .

However, major national events were held mainly at Geunjeongjeon Hall or Gyeonghoeru Pavilion in Gyeongbokgung Palace. At the time of its establishment in 1405 (the 5th year of King Taejong), Changdeokgung Palace had 74 rooms for the outer hall and 118 rooms for the inner hall .

However, successive kings preferred to live in Changdeokgung rather than Gyeongbokgung, and as the royal family increased, the living space in Changdeokgung gradually became cramped. Accordingly, Changgyeonggung is the palace that Seongjong prepared next to Changdeokgung so that the three of them, Queen Sejo, Queen Jeonghui, Yejong, Queen Ansun , and Deokjong, Queen Sohye, could spend comfortably. 770m from Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station on Subway Line 4

10. Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon was a residential area for the noble class built during the Joseon Dynasty, and changes occurred in the 1930s as the administrative districts of Seoul expanded and the urban structure was transformed into a modern one. Housing management companies purchased large lots and forests in Bukchon and collectively built small and medium-sized hanoks there . All of them were formed during this period. Using new materials such as glass doors on the Daecheong and tin visors on the eaves, the hanok in Bukchon did not lose the tangible character of traditional hanok, but it was adapted to the modern urban organization and became a new city . It can be noted that it has evolved into a housing type . Since Bukchon hanok had to be built in large quantities, standardized timber supplied from lumber mills was efficiently used, and while maintaining the characteristics of traditional hanok as a whole, it was established as a new urban housing type by adapting to new conditions. The characteristics of Bukchon Hanok can be defined in two ways: the largely evolved old method and the tendency to decorate. Although it did not fully possess the dignity of traditional hanok such as low roof stilts , guldori , double eaves, and a large number of rooms in a narrow daytime, Bukchon Hanok condenses the composition and beauty of hanok. Bukchon Hanok Village has been established as a new urban housing type, reflecting the demand for density and anonymity as an urban housing , as seen in the hanok sales advertisements at the time .
