The Changgyeonggung Management Office of the Cultural Heritage Administration is inviting thirty-five children from the Jongno-gu District Office's local children's center on the 27th to participate in a 'Changgyeonggung Dancheong Pattern Drawing' event. At Tongmyeongjeon Hall in Changgyeonggung (Treasure No. 818), they will teach the theory of palace dancheong and conduct dancheong pattern drawing. Kim Dorae, director of the Bukchon Buddhist Art Preservation Research Institute, will participate in the theoretical education to explain the purpose of palace dancheong and the meanings of dancheong patterns. During the hands-on session, with the help of teachers, participants can draw patterns such as plum blossoms, taepyeonghwa (flame patterns), lotus flowers, peonies, and juhwa (persimmon calyx patterns). Each student will receive a dancheong accessory featuring their own drawn pattern and a palace souvenir. An official stated, "We will continue to develop and operate various educational programs targeting underprivileged groups to share the value of cultural heritage."
