Han-geul
Han-geul : the Korean Language
Han-geul, the unique Korean alphabet, was created under the direction of Joseon’s fourth monarch, King Sejong the Great, in the 15th century.
The project was meant to help commoners, who, unlike the nobility, could not read classical Chinese.
In 1997, UNESCO recognized the Korean alphabet as part of the “world documentary heritage,” a testimony to its excellence.
Each September, UNESCO also presents the Sejong Literacy Prize to persons who have distinguished themselves in the effort to eradicate illiteracy.
Moreover, garments decorated with han-geul-inspired prints were enthusiastically acclaimed for their originality at a Paris fashion show in 2006.
The scientific principles underlying the han-geul system have been applied to mobile phone software in Korea. No wonder the Republic has emerged as a major IT trendsetter globally.
The value of this alphabet continues to grow as many non-Koreans begin to learn the Korean language and
the script that symbolizes a love of nature and fellow human beings.

alphabet to suit the Korean language. The project was completed in 1443 and the alphabet was officially promulgated in 1446.

Traditionally, the Korean diet mainly consisted of rice, vegetables and fish, although Koreans consume much meat today.
The number of nutritious side dishes served at a typical Korean meal is mind-boggling.
Most important among them is Kimchi, made from pickled cabbages, radishes or other vegetables.
Koreans also ferment soybeans to make various sauces. In 2006, a U.S. health magazine named kimchi as one of the five most healthful foods in the world today.
Modern medicine has proved the efficacy of fermented foods in controlling certain types of cancer.
“Slow food” and “slow life” is now “in,” while fast food is “out.”
In this health-conscious age, the traditional Korean diet offers a wholesome alternative.
Hansik
Korean royal cuisine. These dishes
were traditionally reserved for the
king and his immediate family
members. Only the very best
ingredients were used, and the
dishes were prepared with the
utmost of care.

The basic traditional Korean garments include the baji (trousers) and jeogori (jacket) for men and chima (wrap-around long skirt) and jeogori (bolero-type jacket) for women.
Outerwear includes the jokki (vest), magoja (women’s long coat), and durumagi (long overcoat).
The traditional Korean dress is characterized by a combination of straight and curved lines.
The collars and sleeves of the upper garments present smoothly flowing curves.
The women’s long skirt is pleated all around, adding to its comfortable, voluminous look.
Another impressive feature of hanbok is the rich colors-yellow, blue, white, red and black.
Since the latter half of the 20th century, a functional hanbok incorporating features of Western dresses has become available for greater comfort.
However, most Koreans today normally wear Western-style clothes, whereas the hanbok is usually reserved for holidays and traditional weddings.

works bring out the full beauty of traditional Korean dress,
while she reinterprets applications for these flowing
garments.

The most prominent characteristics of Korean houses is the ondolbang, bedrooms with heated floors.
The heat comes from the kitchen fire and smoke that passes through the stone and clay flues under the floor and goes out the chimney on the other side.
The kitchen fire doubles as a cooking oven heating the pan placed above it.
Another important feature is the daecheong, the open wooden floor between rooms or in front of the rooms.
The daecheong is not heated and used as a place to relax during warm weather.
Houses with roof tiles are called giwajip, and thatched-roof houses are called chogajip.
Most of Korea’s traditional houses have been replaced by high-rise apartments in recent decades, although some clusters of traditional houses are preserved.
However, even in the high-rise apartments, Koreans remain interested in geomancy and want their home to be as nature-friendly as possible.

Koreans traditionally made paper from the inner layer of bark from the paper mulberry tree.
The fiber is boiled and bleached in lye until it is very soft and mushy.
The sturdy traditional paper was the centerpiece of ancient Korean culture, as it constituted the single most important medium of literature and painting.
Its extensive use is evidenced by the old fans, kites, lanterns and numerous other things made of high quality indigenous Korean paper.
Today the traditional paper is dyed in beautiful colors and widely used in handicrafts and other artwork as well as for wrapping gifts.

Han-guk Eumak : Korean Music
Korean music can be broadly divided into the traditional and modern styles, the latter having been developed during the last century.
Sujecheon was the most famous instrumental music played in the royal court,
and jereak is a traditional vocal and instrumental music performed at ceremonies to royal ancestral spirits.
Vocal music developed more widely among the common people in the form of folk songs and pansori, the long one-person opera.
Modern Korean music includes classical music of Western origin and many types of popular songs.
Han-guk Eumak
Traditional music and dance
performance. The repertoire of
traditional traveling performance
troupes is called pungmul.
They dance while playing the
small gong, large gong,
hourglass drum and barrel
drum. The small gong is
likened to thunder; the large
gong, to the wind; the hourglass
drum, to rain, and the barrel
drum, to clouds.
