Today I went to the national museum of korea.
The Korean penisular is located on Asia.
70% of Korea cover with mountains.
Korea is divided into two parts, North Korea and South Korea.
We can also divide history into two parts.
The Prehistoric age and The historic age.
In the historic age people used letter.
But in prehistoric age people didn't use letter.
During the bronze age people become more advanced.
In Neolithic Period people used stone knives but in bronze age people used bronze dagger.
The founding myth of Korea are also interesting.
Long time ago Hwanung came to Korea.
Hwanung is son of heaven ruled the people.
One day tiger and bear wished to Hwanung that they want to be a human.
Hwanung called them and said
"You can become human if you only eat garlic and mugwort for 100 days in cave."
A few days pass tiger gave up.
But bear stayed so bear became a beautiful woman, Ungnyeo.
Hwanung married with Ungnyeo and have a son 'dan-gun-whang-gum'
'dan-gun-whang-gum'became a king of gojosoen. |
