Keunjeongjeon was a space for a national ceremony.

The word 'Keunjeong' means 'to be wary of hardship and complacency

and conduct politics for the people diligently'.

The king did some national ceremonies with his servants here.

While a national ceremony was held here,

The servants had to stand on their own seats.

The seats were guided by the stones, which were written their ranks of positions as a servant.
