 What is
Palseokdam?
|
|
Palseokdam is a 21m-wide, 60m-long section to Mojeongyo (Bridge) made up of 8-provicial underwater tiger-eye stones that
symbolize each province to represent the concept of flowing water to 8 provinces of the Joseon Dynasty in the past as well as the
reunified Korea in the future. It is connected to the path where pedestrians can directly experience the flow of the water.
The stone architecture representing the old 8 provinces of Joseon Dynasty is composed of two whole stones from each
province and a fountain between them. The water of the eight provinces pushed up through this fountain is merged into
Cheonggyecheon, which signifies the life force of continuously flowing water connected with the eight provinces.
The harmonization of 8 provinces was captured by using stones from each 8 provinces as an underwater tiger eye which symbolizes
the harmonization of 8 provinces. The discharge jet was structured to make a small water path, which specifies the Water of
Harmonization. The floor of Palseokdom is also constructed of stone.
