R E P O R T- Korean Folk Village -과목:교수명:학과:학번:성명:Korean Folk VillageThe Korean Folk Village offers one of the finest ways to learn about Korea's people, history, culture, and customs. In Korean Folk Village, the traditional exist side by side in harmony. When I was visiting Korean Folk Village last day, although it took quite a long time(about 2 hours) to get there and the weather was rainy, I was struck by its beauty.The Korean Folk Village opened its doors Oct. 3rd 1974. It is an open-air folk museum, designed much like a traditional Korean country town, and houses many features of Korean culture that have been carefully collected and preserved. It offers a variety of attractions based on a wide range of culture-related themes, the largest groupings of which are "Traditional Houses,' "Education & Administration," 'Livelihood & Handicrafts," "Religion & Ceremonies," and "Festivals & Entertainment.' Each of these attractions features a wealth of exhibits complemented by explanations oical context in which they were developed.The plethora of building styles in the village are representative of the different regions of Korea and their lifestyles. There are thatched-roof farmers' homes, various kinds of shops, a provincial governor's estate, a jail, and a marketplace to name just a few. We may enter individual buildings as we walk through the village and witness different aspects of traditional Korean life. All who work in the village are attired in native costume and carry out their tasks much as they would have done hundreds of years ago. The different ways of life across the social classes are clearly evident in the size and structure of each home.Each of the regions of Korea had a characteristic style of housing based upon the local climate. Household items also differed slightly by region, illustrating differences in needs and lifestyle. All the items on display have been restored to provide visitors with a general view of early Korean life, how food was preparedhe clothing worn.The traditional marketplace features a number of restaurants where visitors can sample the exotic flavors of Korean cuisine as it varies from region to region. There are also traditional teas and wines available and guests dine in traditional style - seated on raised platforms at small tables. There are also many small shops offering souvenirs and other handmade items such as brassware, bamboo products, mats and silk fans. Other shops feature craftsmen such as blacksmiths, basket weavers, potters and painters, plying their trade using old-fashioned methods. Their wares are usually for sale, and some will even custom-make items on request.Workshops also serve to educate visitors about the tools and pottery used by early Koreans. Various handicrafts such as pottery, baskets, winnows, bamboo-ware, woodwork, paper, brassware, knots, fans, musical instruments, ironware, and embroidery are made using ancient methods and put on display. Every effort has been made in the Koreayles of past generations as faithfully as possible. Additionally, live entertainment in the form of various outdoor performances is scheduled periodically throughout the day. Lively music and colorful costumes characterize individual shows involving tightrope acrobatics and the celebrated Farmers's Dance. These, along with the many other attractions at the Korean Folk Village, offer visitors the opportunity to personally become acquainted with Korea and its people through an intimacy with their traditions and history.This is a must see for anyone interested in traditional Korean culture. In a rustic area surrounded by trees and streams the agrarian life of ancient Korea is depicted in a living, working village. It is difficult for me to imagine the hardships endured by those who had to live in this rugged, mountainous land without the use of modern technology. Every day a traditional harvest dance is re-enacted, the performers tossing the long plumes attached to their caps in complex colk Village did I realize what an amazing feat it was for this country to transform itself into a modern, global society in such a short period of time, while managing so much of its cultural heritage.We could have spent days there, but it was such at intense learning experience, that we were eventually exhausted, and by midafternoon we made our way back to the bus and headed to Seoul. Many travelers understand that the best way to truly enjoy and benefit from visiting a country is to learn something about its people, history, culture, and customs. There are few better ways to do this in Korea than pay a visit to the Korean Folk Village.Korean Folk Village is a wonderful place for travel. Many people forget they can learn Korean culture by simply opening your eyes wide. I could improve my English skills during this trip, Also I was able to experience more Korean culture and learn more English tour guide skills. Korean Folk Village has given me a fascinating insight into traditional Kor.
REPORT━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Rear GardenThe beauty of the Changdeokgung has not yet been discovered and receives little attention. The Changdeokgung palace has its own unique beauty with influences of environmental artwork and architecture. In Seoul, the best-preserved window to Korea’s past is Changdeokgung, which was constructed as a royal villa in 1394 by King Taejong, the third king of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). This palace is the only palace retaining the original architectural design and infrastructure, although it was rebuilt after the Imjin Japanese invasion. The palace had retained its original beauty and left unscathed through past invasions, war and time, leading myself to believe that I have witnessed some form of divine intervention.The grounds measure 107 acres overall, including the Secret Garden, which holds 28 of the original 41 structures. The 13 buildings on the main palace grounds most notably including Injeongjeon, the main audience hall, which hamountains and water. Inside the Changdeokgung, little hills and creeks was composed the natural beauty and order.It is a land of wooded slopes and intertwining paths linking lotus ponds and pleasure pavilions. That is the most simplistic precious description of the Changdeokgung and its Rear Garden, Huwon. First of all I was intrigued by the Rear Garden. Before I reached the Donhwamun, I thought it must be a very romantic place. Yes, my imagination was right. As a matter of fact, it was a very romantic place. I fell in love with the Rear Garden in my first visit. I was so sure of myself on the significance of the palace from the environmental art perspective. It is more than a romantic place. It is a historical place.The pursuit of a proper and constant care of nature is not only due to aesthetic reasons, but also the harmonious man-nature relationship. The ancient Korean notion of geomancy taught me that man could not properly develop?intellectually, emotionally, or even business?withing. Of course, they have their own beauty and colors. But they are artificial, overwhelming, and suppressing the nature. The Changdeokgung has led me to the nature and the beauty of the nature. Who said that architecture could be an art and a civil-engineering work? At this palace, I can easily agree with that statement. It should be an environmental art, and delicate civil engineering work, particularly in the 21st century. I cannot exchange the Secret Garden with the Central Park in New York City.I hope people find and learn the man-nature relationship from their ancestor’s wisdom and arts at the Changdeokgung. Inside the palace, I become a part of the nature, and an environmental artist. I hope all people become the same. Koreans should learn the limit of nature. The population bomb is becoming explosive. Balanced growth of Seoul and the rest of the nation should be maintained. No growth policy is desirable or environmental growth of Seoul is imperative. The sooner they learn the l산수가 수려한 장소에 지어졌다. 창덕궁 안의 작은 언덕과 개울은 자연의 아름다움과 질서를 보여준다.그 곳은 많은 연꽃 연못들과 기쁨을 주는 정자들을 서로 연결시켜주는 나무로 이루어진 경사로와 길로 이루어져 있다. 이것이 창덕궁과 그 비밀의 정원, 즉 후원에 대해 잘 설명하고 있다. 무엇보다도 나는 후원에 이끌렸다. 나는 어렸을 때 비밀의 정원이라는 제목의 소설을 읽었던 적이 있다. 소설에서 비밀의 정원은 그 정원의 아름다움 안에서 영혼이 다시 태어나는 장소다. 그러니까 당신은 내가 후원과 그 후원의 아름다움에 대해 들었던 순간을 상상할 수 있을 것이다. 나는 직접 이 후원을 봐야만 했다. 사실, 후원은 아주 낭만적인 장소였다. 나는 첫 눈에 후원의 모습에 매료되었다. 나는 한참동안 그 곳을 돌아다녔다. 그리고 세심하게 짜여진 구조물과 복잡한 건축물 말고도 주변에는 더 많은 것이 있다는 걸 나는 깨달았다. 나는 어머니 자연과 손을 잡고 걷고 있었다.자연에 대한 적절하고도 지속적인 관심을 기울이는 건 미적인 이유 때문이기도 하지만 인간과 자연 사이의 조화로운 관계를 위해서이다. 옛 한국 사람들의 풍수지리에 대한 생각은 인간은 지적으로나 감정적으로나 심지어 사업상으로나 자연의 부드러운 손길이 없으면 제대로 발전할 수 없다는 사실을 나에게 가르쳐주었다.창덕궁 뒤에 나무가 우거진 언덕에 세워진 40 에이커의 정원에는 연못을 지나 자그마한 다리를 건너는 꾸불꾸불한 작은 길들이 얽히고 설켜 있다. 가장 아름다운 장소는 한반도 모양을 하고 있는 반도지이다.나는 시간이 있을 때마다 그리고 도시의 보도블록을 걷다가 피곤을 느낄 때 그 궁궐을 방문하길 좋아한다. 서울은 혼잡한 도시이다. 하지만 비원은 도시 한 가운데에 때묻지 않은 채 남아있다 . 나는 영국과 프랑스의 정원뿐만 아니라 북경과 중경의 정원도 가보았다. 물론 그 정원들은 그들만의 아름다움과 색채를 띠고 있다. 하지만 인공적이고 주변의 자연을 압도하고 억누른다. 건축이 예술이자 토목 공학일 수 있다고 누가 말했던가? 이그러던 차에 우연한 계기로 말로만 듣던 창덕궁을 피상적으로나마 관람의 태도로 둘러보았다.안내자1)를 따라 수십명의 무리에 끼어 걸었지만 궁전이라는 위상의 무게보다는 여느 공원이나 잘 단장한 유적지에 온 것처럼 가벼운 기분으로 교수와 가이드의 설명을 들으며 산책했다. 짧은 순간 획일적으로 이루어지는 답사여서 많은 것을 볼 수는 없었다. 더욱이 창덕궁의 많은 부분을 제한했기 때문에 전모를 볼 수는 없었다. 이런 조건이어서 궁궐의 각 부분의 세세한 명칭과 기능에 대한 장황한 설명이 무효했다. 궁에 입장하자마자 근엄하게 들어선 외전과 회랑은 이곳이 조선의 중추였음이 실감났다. 넓고 평탄한 회랑에서는 사극에서 보았던 것처럼 정사를 담당했던 관료들의 반열이 있었는데, 朝會시에 왕이 있었을 자리에 서보니 마치 내 자신이 머리 조아리고 경외스럽게 서있는 신하들에 군림하는 듯했다. 궁전 내부의 넓은 공간과 윤기있는 마루바닥, 문이 가지고 있는 문살문양, 복잡한 구조의 문고리, 대청마루 낭간의 잘 보이지 않는 구석까지에도 새겨져 있는 각종 무늬, 모든 벽이 가지고 있는 규칙적인 벽돌무늬, 여러 조형물 들에서 왕궁의 화려함을 조금이나 엿볼 수 있었다. 왕궁 내에 있는 여느 사물 하나에도 섬세한 예술가의 혼신이 배어 있었다. 일류의 솜씨들이 집적되어 있는 당대 최고의 문화유산이라고 해도 지나친 말은 아니다. 이 정도 되면 흥선대원군이 경복궁을 지을 때 대토목공사 운운하며 민심이 흉흉했던 것도 납득할 만하다. 또 헤아릴 수 없이 많은 방들은 왕에 종속되어 있는 사람들이 얼마나 많았는가를 잘 말해주었다. 그것들은 대규모 기숙사같았다. 분명 시중 드는 하급신하들의 대규모 주거 공간이었을텐데 그곳이 모두 마루바닥으로 되어 있고, 그 마루바닥 밑은 지면과 떨어진 빈 공간이어서 온돌이 불가능한데 그러면 그 당시에 그들을 위한 난방장치는 무엇이었을까. 추위에도 별 대책없이 떨지는 않았을까. 그리고 궁궐에 드문드문 있는 해시계가 흥미있었다. 지금 우리가 손목시계를 보면서 시간을 아는 것처럼 선조.
