KOREA HERITAGE SERVICE [KHS]

The Korea Heritage Digital Service is a service that releases various national heritage data, so that companies, regions, and the public can easily find high-quality national heritage data. It is expected to be of great help to the public as well as companies, local governments, universities and research institutes by releasing national heritage data such as 3D data, drawings, photos, reports and videos that are difficult for the public to access.

You can easily access the data by using conditional search functions such as designated items, regions, eras and production years, and also can easily check information such as 3D scanned videos and web VR contents provided by Korea Heritage Service through services such as '3D Asset' and 'Theme Contents'.

Gyeongbokgung Palace 경복궁

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.”

Sinmumun Gate of Gyeongbokgung 경복궁 신무문

This is the north gate of Gyeongbokgung, Sinmumun. According to yin-yang ideology, the north symbolizes winter and death and is strongly yin. The north gate was always kept locked to keep the yin of the north gate from disturbing the inside of the palace. There were rare occasions on which this gate was opened. For example, it was opened during shaman services that were held to pray for rain during a drought and when the king wanted to go to the archery field at what is today known as the Blue House. However, apart from those times, the gate remained closed. The building that you can see past the north gate is the presidential palace, known as Blue House.
