The Yeonghwadang Pavilion stands majestically, looking down at the Buyongjeong Pavilion. If the other areas of the secret garden are silent and curved, this was a vibrant world of straight lines. Although it is now blocked by a wall separating the Changdeokgung Palace and Changgyunggung Palace, the Yeonghwadang used to be connected to the spacious Chundangdae. The king and his men would enjoy shooting arrows and holding banquets at the Chundangdae, and those who had passed the regional preliminaries of the national exam would come here to take their final examination. The painting shows an archery event held at the Yeonghwadang during the 13th king Myeongjong's reign. A large awning is set on the eastern eaves towards the Chundangdae. As it hangs on a tall bamboo branch, even the trees are underneath it. All the governmental officials are crowded on the Neol-maroo, with the king's seat in front of the Yeonghwadang. The king would present titles for which the literary ministers would compose poems, and the military ministers would pair up to shoot bows. Those who perform well were presented with tiger or leopard skins. Ten instrument players sit behind the dancers, playing the geomungo, daegeum, piri, bipa, janggo, etc. King Yeongjo also brought nobles during the lunar new year to shoot bows and hold celebrations for retired officials.
