일월오봉도, is a painting with five mountains, the moon, and the sun. The five mountains represents the five mountains that protect Korea, and just as these mountains protect Korea, the king should also protect hes country. The sun and the moon represents the king needs to watch over hes people day and night. The most important meaning is that the painting is not completed until the king stand in front of the painting. In this painting, rather than showing the power of the king, it enlightens the king to do his duty. It was amazing to see the message this painting brought.
In this picture, you can see the King's throne in front of the painting. When the king sits or stands in front the painting, that is when the painting is complete.
