Kings’ tombs in Choson dynasty was so simple due to the influence from Confucian philosophy.
The governing idea was Confucianism in Choson kingdom.
So the ruling class had to keep the simple way of living according to Confucianism.
Unlike the western civilization, the ruling class in Choson dynasty was not warriors but scholars.
So the stone sculptures of the king’s tomb was also simple. The sculptures were not lucrative to compare with other graves of the ruling classes.
Even the tombs were stationed on the high hill, but the ornaments were not special.
It took a high position in altitude, but the decorations and the ornaments were simple.
It was regrettable that it was banned to get closer to the tombs.
So I could take the photos of the stone sculptures from far away.
