What are the customs and habits of Koreans?

Koreans are the main ethnic groups in North Korea and South Korea. Although Korean does not exist in North Korea and South Korea, it is also distributed in Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces in the northeast of China. But many people don't know much about Korean customs.

Then, next, let's learn from the perspective of national culture!

The ancestors of Korean nationality are three Han people (Mahan, Chen Han and Han Ge). Article 75 of the History of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "There are three kinds of Koreans: Mahan, Chen Han and Chen Ge. There are Mahan in the west, 54 countries, Le Lang in the north, Japan in the south, Chen Han in the east, and ten countries and two countries in the north. Chen Mi is south of Chen Han, and there are two of the ten countries, and its south is also connected with Japan. Ji Bo is one of 78 countries. There are more than 10,000 large households and 1,000 small households, each in the mountains and seas, with a territory of more than 4,000 miles, and things are limited by the sea, all of which are ancient countries. The biggest thing is that * * * made it King Chen, and everyone supported the country and made the land of Wang Sanhan the best. Its kings are Malaysians and Koreans. "

Although the ancient country names of the Korean Peninsula were changeable, the names of "Korea" and "Korean" continued among the people and sometimes appeared in legal documents of China and South Korea. For example, 19 refers to them as "China people" and "Koreans" in the land and water trade regulations of the Qing Dynasty in the 1980s, and 19 refers to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the mid-1990s.

1894- 1897 After the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1897, it abandoned the suzerainty of Korea and recognized its independence in treaty of shimonoseki. 1897, the king of Korea announced the establishment of the "Korea Empire", and "Korea" entered the national title for the first time from the people. Korean pronunciation means "big" and "one" in Korean, and most ethnic groups like to choose a good meaning.

Korean nationality is very regional and national. Many traditional cultures and customs have survived to this day. Traditional Korean houses are full of local flavor, usually with straw roofs, Korean kang and wooden chimneys. In most Korean communities, the main crop is rice, so they use local materials to build roofs with straw, which is waterproof, warm and economical. Korean health has its own characteristics. Except for the place where shoes are placed, the whole floor of the room is covered with a big kang. When you enter the room, you take off your shoes and get on the kang. Generally speaking, kang is covered with skin. Korean women always keep clean, and loving cleanliness is also a major feature of this nation.

Korean clothes worn by women are the most unique among traditional Korean clothes. On major festivals, friends' parties, birthdays or birthdays, they always wear this traditional costume, singing and dancing with beautiful national music, and having fun. Korean women usually use their heads to carry goods, which is a skill developed in long-term labor, even if they walk quickly and smoothly. In history, the phenomenon that men are superior to women in Korea is more prominent. This is somewhat similar to the Japanese custom, but with the progress of society, this phenomenon is gradually changing.

Korean folk music and folk songs and dances have unique styles, which mostly reflect the joyful scenes of labor harvest and the love of young men and women. There have been many Korean singers and artists in history. Every time they hold Korean traditional festivals and celebration scenes, they will sing and raise glasses, which fully reflects this nation's love for life and yearning for the future. The national festivals of Korean nationality include Lunar New Year, Shangyuan Festival, Cold Food Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. The birthday celebrations of the elderly are lively and grand, which embodies the Korean custom of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Korean traditional dances include knife dance, long drum dance, dragon drum dance and farmhouse dance. Jiaye Qin, Xiqin, Tongxiao, Changgu and tambourine are traditional national musical instruments of Korean nationality.

Korean is their national language, and Yanji is the capital of Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture. With the development of reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture. Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, in the middle and lower reaches of Tumen River, at the junction of China, North Korea and Russia, with a vast territory and a long border. Hunchun, a border port, can directly communicate with the Sea of Japan, and the state has corresponding policy support for border areas, providing a good environment for development and investment. In recent years, the transnational tourist routes from Hunchun to Luo Jin in North Korea and from Hunchun to Vladivostok in Russia have been opened one after another, and it is believed that Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture will have greater development in the future.

Old women wear long white skirts, and middle-aged women wear heel-wrapped skirts. Young women's skirts are mostly brightly colored satin. Modern men wear flat-bottomed white rubber shoes and sandals at work. Women wear boat-shaped rubber shoes. Now, except for festivals or ethnic gatherings, Koreans basically don't wear national costumes, which is no different from Han nationality. Korean food culture is also famous.
