The appearance of Korean houses is very beautiful, with gentle roof slopes, parallel like a boat in the middle, and upturned at both ends like flying cranes. All the lines and surfaces that make up the roof are gentle curves and surfaces. The house is flat and short, and does not feel like it rises steeply. Especially the narrow and long proportions of the doors and windows make the flat and short house feel like it rises high, and the whole building sits firmly on the low and flat stone platform. . Korean dances are graceful and elegant, combining hardness and softness, and may be lyrical and unrestrained, or
passionate and unrestrained. They fully express the Korean national character of being soft yet strong, elegant but not vulgar. Famous folk dances include nong music dance, long drum dance, fan dance, top water dance, sword dance, etc. Farm music and dance evolved from ancient dances to celebrate hunting and harvest, so they have a lively rhythm and a warm atmosphere. In particular, the man shakes his head vigorously, causing the 3-meter-long "elephant tail" on top of the "elephant hat" to spin and fly around the body, which is even more unique and full of energy.
The Koreans are a sports-loving nation. Football, wrestling, skating, springboard, swing and other activities are very popular among the masses. The way of wrestling is unique. One wrestling method is to put a cloth strap on each side's right leg. One end of the cloth strap is tied to the opponent's wrist. The wrestlers hug each other's waist, and the victory is calculated by how many times the opponent falls. Another wrestling method is that each wrestler prepares a 3-meter-long cloth belt, ties 9.0 cm of it around the waist, wraps the rest loosely around the right thigh, and ties a 5-meter-long belt around the waist. . During the competition, the right knee is flat and the left knee is bent. Each side grabs the opponent's belt with the right hand and the other side's leg rope (the loop wrapped around the right leg) with the left hand. When the signal is given to start, the two sides stand up and duel. Usually two wins out of three. Regardless of whether you are a player or not, you can perform on the stage. At the sports meeting, the prize for the wrestling champion is a big yellow ox covered in red and flowers. The winner rides on the back of the ox and is led around the field by the local person in charge to show his glory. Playing on the swing, springboard and walking on the altar are women's sports. The characteristics of their swing are: high, floating, leisurely, skillful, soft, beautiful and joyful. Swing ropes are usually tied to strong horizontal branches on tall trees. There are ribbons or bells hanging in the sky in front of the swing. The swing board can touch this sign.
Can win cheers and praise. There is a saying among Korean people: "If you don't jump on the springboard when you are a girl, you will have difficulty in giving birth after you get married." Therefore, springboard sports are very valued and loved. There is a legend about the origin of springboard jumping: In the feudal era, girls stayed at home. In order to see the world outside the courtyard wall, they set up pressure boards (commonly known as seesaws) in the yard. At first, the children were allowed to sit on one end and one on the other. Playing by pressing up and down, the children later felt that they could see further by standing on the board, and they could see further by jumping, so the springboard was born. The folk springboard is 5.5 meters long, about 40 centimeters wide and 5 to 6 centimeters thick. The bottom riser pad in the middle of the springboard is 30 cm high. During the competition, there is a special person guarding the pad to prevent the springboard from falling. The girls standing on both ends of the springboard take turns to jump continuously, gradually sending the opponent higher. Those who can perform thrilling movements while the body is in the air are most popular, such as scissor jumps, spin jumps, somersault jumps, and even rattan circles, modeling, garland dancing, and ribbon waving. Smart, graceful and colorful, it is dazzling and admirable. The altar walking is a sport directly derived from working life. The altar or jar is filled with water or rice, and a certain distance is specified. The contestants throw away their hands and walk gracefully. The one who reaches the finish line first without dripping water wins.
