Jeongjeon is the resting place of King Taejo and other kings who have made particularly memorable contributions to the nation. When a king died, his spirit tablet would be kept at the Jeongjeon for five generations. After this, if a king was deemed to have had an exceptional legacy, his spirit tablet would remain in Jeongjeon. The spirit tablets of those kings with less exceptional legacies would be moved to Yeongnyeongjeon Hall, the second largest hall in the shrine complex.

The Jongmyo Ancestral Rituals encompass regular rituals as well as those for special occasions such as petitioning the royal ancestors for better fortunes after calamities or auspicious events. During the Japanese occupation (1910-1945), only incense offerings were held. After liberation in 1945,  the country was in such turmoil that not even incense was lit at the Jongmyo Shrine for a time. But from 1969, the Jeonju Yi Clan began to hold ceremonies again under the auspices of its Association of Jeonju Yi Families. From 1975 onwards, the full ceremony has been held each year on the first Sunday of May, and beginning in 2012, rituals also have been held the first Saturday of November.

The Jongmyo Ancestral Rituals are memorial ceremonies held in Jongmyo Shrine where it is believed the spirits of the past kings of the Joseon Dynasty reside. Jongmyo Shrine, located in central Seoul, was first built in 1396 by King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty (1932-1910), to house the spirit tablets of four of his ancestors.

The complex features three main buildings, among many other auxillary structures. The largest, main hall, called Jeongjeon, is 101 meters long and its nineteen chambers contain the spirit tablets of nineteen kings and thirty queens.

Jeongjeon is the resting place of King Taejo and other kings who have made particularly memorable contributions to the nation. When a king died, his spirit tablet would be kept at Jeongjeon for five generations. After this, if a king was deemed to have had an exceptional legacy, his spirit tablet would remain in Jeongjeon. The spirit tablets of those kings with less exceptional legacies would be moved to Yeongnyeongjeon Hall, the second largest hall in the shrine complex.

Yeongnyeongjeon houses the spirit tablets of sixteen kings and seventeen queens. The Jeongjeon and Yeongnyeongjeon you can visit today were expanded in 1836. Gongsindang Hall, the third largest hall in the complex, enshrines the spirit tablets of 83 high-ranking and meritorious Joseon Dynasty officials.
