Today, i'll tell you about the history of seoul.
First, Hanyany could be capital for 500years because of the beautiful nature and central lecation. If the capital is in the middle of the country, everywhere the king's order could be transmited. and Hanyang is surrounded by inner mountains and outer mountains.
There were Epic poem, Highlights of a Typical Korean life, Hopae, umbilical cord Jar, Traditional Korean Clothes... between those i'll tell you about Hopae, Embroidered patterns, and Hanyang's Markets.
Hopae was an ID card. front, there is the name, class, date of birth. and in the back, has the date of issue. They have to show the gate keeper before they entered the gate.
Embroidered patterns are called Hweung Bae. King and crown prince have dragon, civil officers had crane, and military officers had tiger.
Last, the Markets. Hanyang's marekets open everyday. We could divide into licensed markets and unlicensed markets. licensed markets are called Sijeon or Youkweuijeon. and unlicensed markets are called Nanjeon. Namdeamun and Dongdaemun markets are examples of Nanjeon.
I was marvelous and amazing about everything. But i think if Joseon was democracy everything would change. It was fun! |
