여행정보 : Hwaseong Fortress(水原华城)

Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and the official fortress of Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. The fortress, constructed from 1794 to 1796, was built as a display of King Jeongjo’s filial piety towards his father and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power.

The fortress wall stretches for a total of 5.52km and has a great variety of military facilities that are hard to find anywhere else. Four gates face each of the cardinal directions—Janganmun (north), Paldalmun (south), Changnyongmun (east), and Hwaseomun (west)—and the seven-arch style Sumun gates straddle the point where the nearby stream reaches the palace. Above the Sumun gates is a pavilion called Hwahongmun.

Hwaseong Fortress was constructed under the guidance of Yu Hyeong-Won (1622-1673) and Jeong Yak-Yong (1762-1836), and is believed to have been constructed very scientifically. The fortress wall was built using Seokjae and Jeondol (bricks) and the holes between the bricks are just big enough to fire guns, arrows, or long spears through in case of an attack.

During construction of the fortress Jeong Yak-Yong invented ‘Geojunggi,’ which uses a ‘hwalcha’ (lever) to lift up heavy stones, greatly reducing construction time.

The Suwon Hwaseong Fortress went through many turbulent times and damage, and in the battle of June 25th, many of the facilities became so damaged that they were deemed irreparable. Even though the fortress restoration initiative (1975-1979) restored many of the sites to their former glory, Paldalmun to Dongnamgakru (an area 491 meters in length) has still not been renovated.

The fortress was designated as Historic Site No. 3 in January 1963, and in December 1997, it was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. A variety of performances and events are held at the fortress every day and Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival takes place here in autumn. 

水原华城是朝鲜后期建于京畿道水原市内的邑城。水原城的轴城于朝鲜第22代王正祖18年即1794年开工，1796年完工，是为了向父亲庄献世子表示孝心以及显示经济实力而建造的新城。
水原华城城墙全长5.52公里，安装了各种在其它城内看不到的军事设施。城墙上方建造了女墙，上面有多个射击口，既可掩护自身，又能监视和攻击敌人。东西南北四个方面都设有城门，北门称长安门，南门称八达门，东门称苍龙门，西门称华西门。水原城内还有小溪流经，小溪与城墙相遇之处则设置了水门，共有7个拱形水门可供小溪流过，其上修建了名为华虹门的楼阁。
水原华城建设时参考了实学家柳馨远和丁若镛的意见，并以此为设计的基本方针，被认为是韩国城墙中最科学的城墙。特别是修建城墙的同时使用了石材和砖块，其结构既能防御敌人的弓箭和长枪，也能向敌人开枪发炮，可谓十分优秀。此外丁若镛发明的起重机使用了多个滑轮，能经很小的力气拉动沉重的石头，大大提高了工程的效率。
水原华城在长久的岁月中城墙多处损伤，韩国战争时更有许多设施遭到破坏，1975年至1979年的重建使这里基本恢复了原貌，但是从八达门到东南角楼长达491米的建筑却未能恢复原样。水原华城于1963年1月被指定为第3号史迹，1997年12月与昌德宫一起载入联合国教科文组织认定的世界文化遗产。这里会进行举行定期公演，每年秋季还会举办水原华城文化节，以便向游客介绍和宣传华城的历史。
