Restruction of Gaegyong Centered on the Crossroad Area(十字街) and Governance space during the Goryeo Chungryeol Era

This paper examines the fact that the main palace(本闕) of Goryeo became a 'ritual space', while the reconstruction and restructuring of Geagyong was carried out centering on the crossroad area(十字街) during the reign of King Chungryeol. When King Wonjong died just four years after returning to Gaegyeong, the task of rebuilding Gaegyong was transferred to King Chungryeol. This task was closely related to the issue of reestablishing the king's authority after the end of the regime of the military rulers. In order to solve these two problems, while the financial situation was not favorable at the time, the king actively occupied the space of the old powers and utilized the legacy left behind by the era of military officials before moving the capital to Ganwha. A large-scale palace was built for the life of the Great Princess of Qi(齊國大長公主, Jeguk daejang gongju) on the very site where the Choi regime's private house was located, and the land owned by the old power was distributed to his supporters. Meanwhile, only certain individual places in the main palace maintained their ceremonial function. The ritualization of the main palace ultimately means that the internal structure of the main palace, combining the place of royal's residence, governance space and ceremonial areas, was dismantled. As a result, the Goryeo government's administration entered a new phase.
