Koreans are the main ethnic group in North Korea and South Korea. Although the concept of Koreans does not exist in North Korea and South Korea, they are also distributed in Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces in Northeast China.
But many people don’t know much about the customs and habits of the Korean people.
So, next, let us learn from the perspective of national culture!
The ancestors of the Korean people are the three Han people (Mahan, Chenhan and Bianhan). "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Dongyi" 75: "There are three kinds of Han: one is called Mahan, the other is Chen.
Han and San are called Bianchen. Mahan is in the west, with fifty-four countries connected to Lelang in the north and Wa in the south. Chenhan is in the east, with ten countries in it, and Bianchen is connected to the south of Chenhan.
There are also two countries in the country, and the south is also connected with the Japanese. Among the seventy-eight countries, Boji is one of them. The large ones have more than ten thousand households, and the small ones have thousands of households. Each one is located between the mountains and the sea, and the total area is more than four thousand.
Here, the east and west are bounded by the sea, which is the ancient Chen Kingdom. Ma Han is the largest, and the king established his species as the king of Chen.
"People." Although the names of the ancient countries on the Korean Peninsula have changed, the terms "Hanren" and "Hanmin" have continued among the people, and they also appear from time to time in the legal documents of China and South Korea, such as: in the 1880s.
The "Regulations on Water and Land Trade of the Qing Dynasty" include the names of "Hua Min" and "Korean". In the mid-1890s, the Qing Emperor's edict declaring war on Japan also stated: "Li Hongzhang strictly ordered to dispatch all armies to quickly attack and suppress Japan."
It is known as "gathering a large army and marching forward one after another to save the Korean people from ashes".
After the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, it gave up its suzerainty over Korea and recognized Korea's independence in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. In 1897, the King of Korea proclaimed himself emperor and established the "Korean Empire". For the first time, "Korea" entered the country from the private sector.
The sound "han" means "big" in Korean, and it also means "one". Most ethnic groups like to choose names with good meaning or commemorative significance as country names and ethnic names.
The Korean ethnic group has strong regional and national characteristics.
Many traditional cultures and customs have been passed down to this day.
Traditional Korean houses have a strong local flavor, usually with straw roofs, Korean big Kangs, and wooden chimneys.
In most areas where Koreans gather, the main crop is rice, so they use local materials and use straw to cover their roofs, which is both rainproof and warm, and is economical and economical.
The Korean Kang is unique. Except for the place where shoes are placed, the entire floor of the room is covered with a large Kang. When you enter the house, you take off your shoes and get on the Kang. The Kang is usually covered with floor leather, and Korean women always keep it clean.
Cleanliness and love for cleanliness are also a major characteristic of this nation.
The traditional Korean clothing is the most unique Korean skirt worn by women.
Every time they attend large-scale festivals, gatherings of friends, or birthdays or birthdays, they will always wear this kind of traditional clothing, and sing and dance to the beautiful national music, making it a lively event.
Korean women generally carry items on their heads. This is a skill developed through long-term labor. Even if they walk very fast, they are also very stable.
Historically, the phenomenon of men being superior to women among the Korean people was quite prominent.
This is somewhat similar to Japanese customs, but with the advancement of society, this phenomenon is gradually changing.
Korean national music, folk songs and dances have unique styles. Most of them reflect the joyous scenes of labor and harvest and the love between young men and women.
There have been many Korean singers and artists in history.
Every time they attend traditional festivals and celebrations of the Korean people, they will sing loudly, raise their glasses and drink, which fully reflects this nation's love for life and yearning for the future.
The national festivals of the Korean people include New Year's Day, Shangyuan Festival, Cold Food Festival, Qiuxi Festival, etc.
The lively and solemn birthday celebrations for the elderly reflect the Korean custom of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Traditional Korean dances include knife dance, long drum dance, dragon drum dance, agricultural music dance, etc.
Gayeqin, Xiqin, flute, long drum and tambourine are the traditional national musical instruments of the Korean people.
Korean is their national language, and Yanji City is the capital of Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture.
With the development of reform and opening up, Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture has undergone great changes.
Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, in the middle and lower reaches of the Tumen River, at the junction of China, North Korea and Russia. It has a vast territory and long borders.
The border port, Hunchun, is directly connected to the Sea of ??Japan. In addition, the country has corresponding policy support for border areas, providing a good environment for development and investment.
In recent years, cross-border tourism routes have been opened from Hunchun to Luojin, North Korea, and from Hunchun to Vladivostok, Russia. I believe that Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture will have greater development in the future.
Clothing: Koreans like to wear plain white clothes, usually shorts and long trousers.
Men's tops are unbuttoned, knotted with strips of cloth and have a waistcoat, and their bottoms have a large crotch and lace-up legs.
Women's short clothes have no buttons and are knotted with ribbons. Long skirts are divided into wrap skirts and tube skirts (only before marriage).
Older women usually wear long white skirts, and middle-aged women usually wear skirts that reach their heels.
Young women's skirts are mostly made of brightly colored satin.
In modern times, men mostly wear flat white rubber shoes and straw sandals when working.
Women wear boat-shaped rubber shoes.
Nowadays, except for festivals or ethnic gatherings, the Korean people basically do not wear national costumes, and they are no different from the Han people.
The food culture of the Korean people is also famous far and wide. The staple foods of the Korean people are generally rice, cakes, and cold noodles. The iron pot of the Korean people is different from the iron pot of the Han people for steaming rice. It has a small mouth and a big inside.
The steamed rice tastes pure.
The cake is made from steamed glutinous rice and then hammered repeatedly, making it soft and delicious.
