Today, I went to Namsan Hanok village. I've never been there before, but I thought this village would be good to learn about our traditional house, hanok. At the Hanok village, there were lot's of things to see. For example, ondol, which is a heating system. And a bamboo wife which is a cooling system and other kind of things. But, to pick the best thing, I think that the family shrine was the best for me. I know our ancestors respected their ancestors, but I didn't know how they exactly served them. But, now I know. First, they gave their ancestors the best place on their property. And also, they built the shrine first among the buildings. Second, they bowed to their ancestors every morning. If I were them, I might felt tired and bored, but our ancestors did it because of their respect and Confucianism, too. I wonder if my descendants will serve me like that if they were from the Joseon Dynasty. Today was very hot and humid, so I was a bit annoyed about the weather, but I don't care because I had a good experience, here.
FANTASTIC, great writing, from the start to the finish you wrote so many good things, with a lot of really good information  |
