Today I went to Namsan Hanok Village. The weather was rainy so it was very hard to walk. I learned about hanok and jangdokdae. In hanok there are two kinds of things. First is "hanok with tiled-roof" and another is "hanok with thatched-roof". Only noble men could live in "hanok with tiled-roofs", and middle or lower class people could live in "hanok with thatched-roofs". In the hanok village most of the houses were tiled-roof houses. So I didn't see a thatched-roof house. I like hanok because it has good ventilation, in the winter hanok are warm and in summer they are cool.
Jangdokdae is like a refrigerator it keeps food fresh. It is better than a plastic vessel because it has good ventilation. When I go to my grandmother's home, I can see Jangdokdae.
I think it is a good invention of the Joseon Dynasty.
Hanok have different kinds of rooms, they are; sarangchae, anchae, Byeolchae and Heangnangchae. Sarangchae is a room for men and anchae is room for women.
However Byeolchae is a room for non-married women and Haengnangchae is a room for servants. But today I don't see these separate room beacause it was raining hard.
I was interesting about the name of each room. I thought that sarangchae was the room for women and anchae was the room for men because sarang in Korean means love.
Good work, lots of important information, I fixed your mistakes so please go back and see them  |
