We went to Namsan Hanok Village.
Hanok is a traditional Korean house that is built in harmony with nature.
People found the materials from nature.
Nails were not used, so it was easy to move and rebuilt it.
Noblemen lived in tile roof houses and middle and lower class people lived in thatched roof houses.
Tile roof houses were separated into Sarangchae, the area for men, Anchae, the area for women,Haengnangchae,the area for servants, Byeolchae, the area for unmaried daughters and daughter in law.
Thatched roof houses don't have enough space, so the quarters are not separated.
Noblemen took a bath with their clothes on.
I think this is very funny because they'll soak in water.
The toilet was separated from the main building.
How about rainy nights?
It must be uncomfortable.
We played traditional games like trundling the hoop and spinning a traditional top.
It was the first time to try them.
Joseon people were quite creative to make those unique houses and traditional games. |
