On Saturday September 6th I went to Jongmyo Shrine to see the Royal Ancestral Rite Music at Jongmyo Shrine. The entire concert lasted about 45 minutes, but I only included a short clip from each song into my video.
The Royal Ancestral Rite is the ritual for serving former kings of the Joseon Dynasty.
The lyrics of the Royal Ancestral Rite Music, akjang, describes the purpose of rite, how former kings of the Joseon Dynasty devoted themselves to the protection and care of the Korean people, the kings' contribution to the peace of the nation, and the prayer for the prosperity of descendants in detail.
