History
King Munmu built a lake in the east of Wolseong, Gyeongju, in 674, and in 679, he built the Donggung Palace as a separate palace in the same location and renamed several buildings. This period was aimed at strengthening the king's authority by expanding the narrow size of Wolseong, Gyeongju, as the long-running War of the Three Kingdoms ended with the official withdrawal of the Tang Dynasty and the abandonment of attacks[5] and the era of peace began. The Donggung Palace became the place where the prince lived. Perhaps because it was built by King Munmu, who died and was believed to have become a dragon king in the East Sea, there was a building called the Dragon King 殿, and the ritual for the dragon king was also proven as relics of the 辛審 unearthed.
It was also used as a venue for funerals and banquets like Gyeonghoeru at Gyeongbokgung Palace. It has records of gathering ministers in 697, 769, and 881, and was extensively renovated in 804 and 867. In 931, during the Later Three Kingdoms period, King Taejo of the Goryeo Dynasty was invited to have a feast.
