Recreating history – Join us and experience the Reenactment of King Jeongjo’s Tomb Parade
Starting at the Changdeokgung Palace, over the course of two days, the largest reproduction of the Joseon Royal Tomb Parade will take place. From Seoul to Suwon, the 46km relay will recreate the scene from over 220 years ago, including the rituals, clothing and food. On October 8th, the relay will start in Seoul, and the Suwon leg of the relay will take place on October 9th, finishing at the Hwaseong Fortress.
A little history lesson: A myeongdang is a site which is believed to be a favorable location for one’s home or tomb. Upon the passing of his father, Sado Sejo, King Jeongjo, the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty, wished to move his father’s tomb to a known myeongdang in Suwon. Not only that, but King Jeongjo also wanted to make Suwon the new capital, and thus began the construction of Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress. King Jeongjo visited several times, the largest parade recorded being in 1795.
Over 2,000 people will take part in the parade, as well as 100 horses. There will be martial art performances, a lantern festival and traditional markets towards the end. It will be a great opportunity to experience Korean history and culture.
