5600 Tricentennial Festivities Scaled Back in Wake of International Tragedy

5600.3.2. - Yesterday saw the Tricentennial of the Baek Restoration (known locally as the Gwangbok Yushin; 光復維新) celebrated in front of Beonyeonggung Palace at Gwangdanmun. His Imperial Majesty Emperor Hwamu (84) was in attendance alongside Her Grace Crown Princess Baek Sohyeon (44), alongside her two daughters Princesses Baek Chaewon (6) and Chaeyeon (2). Sangdaedeung, Ibeolchan, and Taedaero were also present alongside all members of the cabinet.

Due to pressing current world events concerning the heinous nuclear exchange and attack upon Xsampa, Jesu Palace made the strategic decision to mute the events of the day. A procession of the traditional Daechwita still passed throughout Gongmangdo Capital City, beginning at Gyeonghwagung Palace and passing along the Huiganggung, Changangung, and Jesu Palaces before finally arriving at Beonyeonggung. However, the usual extravagance of the past centennial and bicentennial celebrations of 5400 and 5500 was lessened, with the format of the procession evoking a more regal and somber tone of supreme tradition.

Emperor Hwamu then read a proclamation declaring 5600 March 1 to formally mark the three hundredth anniversary of the restoration of the rites and proper ceremony in Baeguk. He was joined that evening by foreign dignitaries celebrating the Kingdom's restoration; King Amadeo and Queen Alicia of Egelion, King Birger av Hinnsby of Kazulia, and Empress and Queen Theodora Lackmann-Thaller of Narikaton and Darnussia were visiting among others.

Even as Terra was rocked by events elsewhere, it seemed so far away as the Gongmangdo sky was lit anew with brilliant fireworks instilling hope into every subject's heart, just as has been tradition for the past 300 years. Though the world may be turned on its head, it seems as if the one constant may be found in this sleepy nation of pines and rolling jade hills, lulled to sleep by the customary Beonyeonggung Taryeong.


南門을 열고 罷漏를 치니 鷄鳴山川이 밝아온다
後斂: 에- 에헤이 에-이야- 얼럴럴거리고 방아로다

乙丑 三月 甲子日에 繁永宮을 이룩하세
(後斂)

都邊手의 擧動을 봐라 먹통을 들고서 갈팡질팡한다
(後斂)

紅山鳳凰은 竹實을 물고 碧梧桐 속으로 넘나든다
(後斂)

北山하고 十一峯에 烏鵲 한 쌍이 훨훨 날아든다
(後斂)

우리나라 좋은 나무는 繁永宮 重建에 다 들어간다
(後斂)

에헤 萬歲 萬歲 萬萬歲라
發展하는 大花拜國 萬萬歲라
에헤 에헤헤 에야 얼럴럴 거리고 방아로다
