There are in Changgyeonggung Palace two ponds called by the same name Chundangji ('Spring Pond') of which the smaller one at the back is the original Chundangji which existed since the Joseon Dynasty. The larger pond in the front had been a field called Naenongpo, or 'Inner Field,' containing eleven paddies where the Joseon kings living in Changgyeonggung tilled the soil with ploughs drawn by an ox, praying good harvest. The field was an important part of the tradition Joseon kings preserved to show an example for their people, promote farming, and share the toilsome labor farmers had to endure.
