YEAR.2010 NOVEMBER 27

Today is my first day for 'mariestory'. I was honestly not so excited when I heard I am going to 'National museum of Korea' for 'mariestory', but however, I am now so excited to going there. I was so happy to know about all history what I learned there. I learned in school to Korean, and I learned same thing to English. It was so fun. The most interested thing is about the Bronze Incense Burner(Actually, it is easy to explain and most interested IN WHAT I LEARNED). This incense burner was from Baekje. It is actually the National Treasures NO 287, and used to pray. This one is usually divide in 3 parts: top, middle, bottom. In the Top, there is phoenix represents the sky. In the middle, there are animals, plants, musicians, mountains, which meaning the paradise(utopia). The dragon on the base represents the sea. There is one secret more though, that is called, 'yin and yang'. Then, how the 'yin and yang' is related by Bronze Incense Burner? Before I tell you, I'd love to explain about 'yin and yang'. 'Yin' means cold, negative, thick, dark. 'Yang' represents hot, positive, soft, bright one. In this case, 'yin and yang' is meaning that the opposite things are come to be combine. In the burner, the top and bottom parts are exactly the opposite. the sky and sea is opposite, also. And so meaning, this is 'yin and yang'.
