Hello, everyone~!! My name is Ashley and today I will explain you about how Baekje was established and its Golden Age and lastly, the various type of tombs.
Baekje was found by On-Jo who is the prince of Ju-Mong. On-Jo established Baekje by Han River.
Because it was established by Han River, in 4th century Baekje became most powerful in pennisula.
Baekje brought in Chinese culture which were Chinese characters, Confucianism, Buddism, the lunar calendar, astronomy, etc and they developed its own culture. Baekje's culture was graceful and refined.
Baekje got iron by trading with iron developed country, Gaya. Goguryeo was defeated by Baekje along with the death of King Go-gook-won. Also, the year of 384 when King Chim-nyu ruled, Baekje accepted Buddism. The Seosan Mae Three Buddha statues had unique appearance. It had friendly and down-to earth smiles. Some people say it is the smile of Baekje people.
Lastly, various types of tombs were only not Baekje's culture. It was three kingdoms culture.
There were neol tomb which is wooden coffin tomb, dok tomb, the clay jar tomb and stone-piled wooden tomb and a cave type of stone tomb which was stone room tomb with corridor.
I will tell you some progress of constructing tombs.
First for earthen tomb, lay the coffin on the ground and cover it with soil.
Second for stone-piled wooden tomb, cover the coffin with stones.
Third for cave type stone tomb, make a square room and cover the room with earth.
Baekje was collasped in the year of 660 when Shilla conquered Baekje for its unification.
Even though Baekje was destroyed, it had a great culture that glistened Korean culture.
This is it for my speech, thank you for listening~!! |
