It was built in 1394 by order of Yi Seong-gye, the founding monarch of the Joseon Dynasty. Jongmyo is the royal ancestral hall of the Joseon Dynasty, used for sacrificial ceremonies to express respect and commemorate ancestors. 🌟Highlights: [○] Layout: The ancestral temple consists of the main hall, Yongning Hall and several ancillary buildings. The overall layout is rigorous and embodies the Confucian ritual system.

[○] Yongning Hall: Yongning Hall is where the tablets of other royal family members are enshrined. It is slightly smaller than the main hall. [○] Architectural style: The architectural style of the ancestral temple is simple and solemn, reflecting the simplicity and solemnity of Confucian culture. 👍Most Recommended: In 1995, Jongmyo Shrine of Korea was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO for its unique historical and cultural value.
