Exploring Jongmyo Shrine for its ancestral rituals

Visiting the Main Hall of Jongmyo Shrine allowed me to deeply appreciate the significance and historical value of the ancestral rituals. 🌳

The Main Hall, which enshrines the spirit tablets of Joseon kings and queens, is the most important space in the shrine. Standing before the majestic, elongated structure, I couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity. 🦋

As I stood in the courtyard in front of the Main Hall, walking along the stone path, I felt as if the royal ancestral processions and grand ceremonies of the past were unfolding right before my eyes. The restrained and elegant architectural beauty encapsulates the spirit and etiquette of our ancestors. 🖼️

Through the rituals, I could feel the profound resonance of the tradition of revering the heavens and ancestors. Jongmyo's Main Hall is not merely an architectural structure but a precious UNESCO World Heritage Site that connects the spirit and culture of our nation. 🪴
