I went to National Folk Museum before, but I learned more things today. This museum concentrateds more on the lifestyles fo our ancesters. We can see their clothing, food, houses, and other specail styles of their lives. When I walked into the museum, I felt I went back time, and they were actuaally right next to me. The structure was impressive and realistic.
I thought Tripitaka Koreana was really fascination. Even though it had been there for a very long time, because of our ancesters' intelligent technology, the Tripikata Koreana was preserved in a very excellent condition. Our ancesters made this in oreder to defeat Mongolia with Buddhism. This was reallt interesting thought and we can see how desperate they were at that time.
Moreover, I thought our ancesters' belief was also interesting. For example, our ancesters hung geumjul when the baby was born, and this is because they believed that geumjul could chase away ghosts so that the baby will remain healthy. This was a fresh belief, I thought. In those days, they believed in folk religion because they were not that developed, so they were weak. Therefore, our ancesters asked all the nature to protect them.
Additionally, I felt proud because of our own language Hoom-min-jeong-eum. King Sejong created our language and Hoom-min-jeong-eum can make any sound. Also it's very scientific, and it was easy to learn for the people who weren't nobles. Like this, king Sejong was a great king because he cared about his citizens.
This museum taght me about our ancesters' life, and I really would like to visit here again. |
