The Dialogue with The Past in Gyeongju City.

in #history7 years ago (edited)

Gyeongju-city is very special place. You can look at King’s tombs by the street in downtown.

When I had been Egypt, I need to take a bus to look at the Pyramid or Tombs.
The relics were far from the residence of people.
It might be common circumstances all over the world except some rare cases.

The tombs of Shilla dynasty in Gyeongju are belong to this rare case.

You can see the great tombs anyplace in Gyeongju.
The tombs are the part of Gyeongju people’s lives.
They are living with the tombs together.

The tombs were not only kid’s play ground but also the place for the lovers and the park for old people.

In this posting I’d like to show you the relation between the tombs and people through the Photos as below.

You can see Girls walking on the road by the tombs

In my opinion, Gyeongju must be the best place to have a dialogue with the past.

Sort:  

their place was rich in ancestral relics.

Exactly,you are correct 😎😎

This kind of place is really best for those people who had been burned out from their everyday life routine. Taking time to be alone in this lace makes you feel more better. I can see how peaceful and relaxing is this place. As @slowwalker said,

"this place must be the best place to have a dialogue with the past."
Yes, it's true! Sometimes, when we isolated ourselves, every memories in the past keeps coming back in our mind may it be good or bad memories and even those people behind all of it.

really a long history and the best place to have a dialogue with the past , learn from it . thank you .

also really enjoy it!

Yeah, that's true. If you are at a place where your visit places are far away then it become really difficult to go there because when you are travelling you are already tired.
I really love the traditional dresess of the chinees people.

a dialogue with the past....very poetic, @slowwalker.

Incorporating the past into the present is the best way of honouring our roots - it's what every human being does - organically assimilating past experiences into our present narrative.

I used to draw a number line on the chalk board to illustrate to my students that we are 99.4% Past. We live out of the suitcase of the past.

Imagine if we lost our personal memory - not only would we lose our identity, we couldn't even do up our shoe laces or find our way home.

As Pasternak once wrote, "In me are people without names--stay-at homes, children, lovers --I am conquered by them all and that is my only victory."

gyeonju was surreal..
