<National Folk Museum>
Today, I went to National Folk Museum. In there, I've learned lots of things. The most interesting thing was Old Korean's life. First, they had a birth. They hung a straw rope with red peppers when the boy was born. They hung a straw rope with pine branches when the girl was born. After 100days, they had a celebration because babies can die easily. When the baby got the first birthday, it is called 'Dol'. The baby picks the things. Book symbolizes a scholar, money symbolizes the rich, and thread symbolizes live long. When they are 15~20years old, man wears got and woman wears Binyeo. It is called Kwanrye. They have a marriage then. When they are 61 years olds, they have Hwangab. Nowadays, we usually have it when we are 70years old. The last thing is Sangrae. Everyone must die. If a person died, his son will stay his grave for three years. Later, his son and grandson will do memorial service. Old people's life is too difficult!!! |
