ABSTRACT

Before commenting that geographical features of Gyeongbok Palace, we have to mention geographical features of Seoul Capital. Geographical features of Hanyang and Gyengbok Palace are inseparable. Although moving the capital and Gyengbok Palace were chosen for its political and economic merits, fengshui was also considered in depth. In fengshui, it's divided into 'theory of the situation' and 'lichi theory'. Though theory of the situation involves Goryeo's fengshui, it is assumed that new theory of Hu Shun Shen was used to build confucian nation. Even though Hu Shun Shen's theory had been useful to moving the capital, it lost its use as time goes by, due to the opposition forces and King SeonJo's will. This proves that his idea was unsuccessful.
