The closed wooden gate in the photo was Jungyangmun which was one of the entrances of Hwaseong Haenggung palace in the fortress. Its name was written in Chinese characters on the tablet hung on the gate. The architecture built on the other side of this gate was the main hall of this palace.
The symbol for Taiji was drawn on the door. Commonly, it is thought its birthplace was china. Yet some people alleged it came from Korea.
