Korean traditional villages and houses
Houses were built based on a shamanistic perspective, Shamanism is a spiritual practice found in Korean cultures from ancient times up to the present day. In shamanistic cultures, people were responsible for their relationships with spiritual energies, including those of their home environment. The architecture was to create and integrate a reaction of humans and shamans. Thousands of years of experience have been the best documentation that shamanic approaches
indeed work for building houses. During the Silla Dynasty, the residential district
of the nobles in the city was composed of great houses which were constructed conforming to the building code that granted privileges to the nobles, but forbidden to the commoners. Nature has always been regarded as an element of utmost importance in Silla architecture.
Korean architecture lends consideration to the positioning of the house in relation to its surroundings,
with thought given to the land and seasons. The environment-friendly aspects of traditional Korean houses range from the structure's inner layout to the building materials which were used. Another unique feature of traditional houses is their special design for cooling the interior in summer and heating the interior in winter. The raw materials used, such as soil, timber, and rock, are all natural and recyclable and do not cause pollution. The houses have their own tiled roofs, wooden beams and stone-block construction. A straw-thatched roof was a bountiful by-product of rice cultivation. Traditional Korean paper is pasted on the wooden window frames and doorframes.
Hanok are the traditional Korean houses, the environment-friendly establishments as they are built with materials readily available in nature, such as wood, earth, stone, straw, clay, and paper. The two major types of hanok are houses with tiled roofs occupied by the nobility and houses with straw-thatched roofs inhabited by the peasantry. The most distinctive difference between these two types of houses is the roof.
Other distinctive features of a hanok are the ondol and maru. Ondol, a method of heating the f loor underneath using wood smoke, was installed in all
rooms to guard against the cold, and the maru was an open space where the entire family could cool off during the summer.
To avoid the humidity and heat during the summer, the wooden f loor is made so it does not touch the ground. So it helps ventilation in the house. It is not known exactly why and how the “maru” came to be, but scholars say it was to prevent the heat in southern areas of Korea. Its key use was to help ventilate the
stones, “ondol” is a main feature of traditional Korean houses. If lighted on the morning and evening, it withheld a pleasant l5 degree Celcius. This shows that the “ondol” system is quite based on scientific terms. These days steam heating is used more than “ondol”.
Nowadays hanok are fast disappearing due to rapid industrialization and the popularization of western-style housing. Seoul and other big cities are already filled with high-rise apartments, not hanok. Little distinguishes these houses in form and function from those of western countries. In smaller cities and in the country, however, there are still some modernized hanok. They are not completely obsolete in big cities,
using space creatively or through partial remodeling.

These days, hanok villages are protected by the government for their cultural value, while there is a growing interest in the science and beauty of hanok and their preservation as part of Korea’s cultural heritage.
A yangban residence had various types of living quarters for its residents. The living quarters consisted of the sarangchae, the building reserved for the head of the house hold to reside and receive guests in, the haengnangchae, which were servants’ living quarters, the anchae, the inner living quarters for the head woman of the household, her children and other women, and the sadangchae, the shrine to honor the spirits of family ancestors. Each section was separated by walls with gates, such as the jungmun, which allow access to other sections of the house. The main gate of the soseuldaemun is connected directly to the sarangchae, but the anchae was hidden behind the jungmun (the inner gate) so that it couldn’t be seen from the outside. The shrine was surrounded by a separate set of walls, an indication of its sacredness.
If you look closely at Korea’s roofs, you’ll see the no roofs are flat. Almost all are in shapes of curved lines and surfaces. The curves of the roof show the originality of Korean architecture. It is not known
roofs. If the angle of the roof was exact, it was easier
to drain away rain water. The size and shape of the tiles affected the angle of the roof and the angle is determined by the weather conditions of a region.
The principles of temple gardens and private gardens are the same. Korean gardening in East Asia is influenced by primarily Korean Shamanism and Korean folk religion. Shamanism emphasizes nature and mystery, paying great attention to the details of the layout. In contrast to Japanese and Chinese
to make a garden more natural than nature. The lotus pond is an important feature in the Korean garden. If there is a natural stream, often a pavilion is built next to it, allowing the pleasure of watching the water. Terraced flower beds are a common feature in traditional Korean gardens.
However, Korea also has many traditional buildings coming down through a few hundred. The best one is a Korean-style old house. Although it is not as high as other foreign castles, the whole structure and the view of the house is a piece of the artwork. It is a harmony of Korean style building placement and the composition of natural garden. It is said to be admirable even to the modern architects. From now on, let’s go to see the grandeur and beautiful ancient houses representing Korea.

traditional essence of the ink painting and also adds modern essence in his works.

“Arirang” makes UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage List.Globalization of Korean Folk Song “Arirang”
“Arirang” is a Korea’s most representative folk song. The song is known even among people in Asian countries, particularly Japan and the Philippines. It represents all the joys and sorrows in the history and lives of Koreans. “Arirang” has gained popularity worldwide.
During the Japanese rule popularity of “Arirang” rose as Koreans tried to express their feelings against Japanese oppression through music. The song has been the subject of many films, stories, songs, and
is transmitted from generation to generation, and is constantly recreated by communities and groups, in response to their environment, their interaction with nature, and their history. It provides people with a sense of identity and continuity, and promotes respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.
UNESCO confirmed the registration submitted by the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) at the 7th Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage held in Paris, France, in December. With the latest inclusion, Korea now has a total of 15 items on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, including the Royal Ancestral Rite and Ritual Music of the Jongmyo Shrine (2001), “pansori” (traditional narrative song) (2003), the Gangneung Danoje Festival (2005), and the traditional Korean martial art “taekkyeon” (2011).
Previously, in August 2009, the CHA applied for a listing on the intangible cultural heritage for “Jeongseon Arirang,” known as the original version of the song from the mountainous area of Jeongseon in Gangwon Province. But it was rejected as the number of items for which each country applies for a listing evaluation is limited. Since then, the government had not taken any further action. But it stepped up efforts to get “Arirang” put on the UNESCO list after China designated it as part of its own national intangible cultural heritage in May 2011. China claims that it is a folk song of an ethnic Korean group living in the northeastern part of the country.
