Koreans share a common culture, but a sense of regionalism exists between northerners and southerners and between southeasterners and southwesterners in terms of customs and perceived personality characteristics. Some suggest that this regionalism dates back to Three Kingdoms of Koguryo (37 B.C.E. C.E. ), Silla (57 B.C.E. C.E. ), and Paekche (18 B.C.E. C.E. ). In South Korea politicized regionalism has emerged between the southeastern (Kyongsang Province) and southwestern regions (Cholla Province) since the late 1960s as a result of an uneven pattern of development that benefits people in the southeast.

Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Korean Culture Knowing about the culture of a country can help give you a better understanding of its people. So long you remember that what you read about a culture is not an iron-cast definition. People, wherever they are from, are individuals first with their own particular personalities and quirks, despite everything are underneath no different from you really, and expecting someone to behave in a certain 'exotic' manner because that's what you read in a guidebook is the height of absurdity. Anyway, here's a brief list about the culture of Korea - 1. Korean civilization is over 5000 years old. 2. Religious systems followed in Korea are - Buddhism - Mahayana and Son (Zen) Christianity (Roman Catholic and Protestant) Shamanism Confucianism 3. Korean people, like most Asian people, place a great emphasis on the family institution and on respecting parents and elders. The family elders are always addressed with respect, greeted with the traditional bow and served first at meals. Behaving with decorum in public, so as not to shame your family is important. Non-family members are usually addressed with formal titles. 4. Traditionally Koreans followed a patriarchal system, but the married women always kept their own name. Women, in olden times, were responsible for managing an extended family household and rearing the children; they also worked in the fields in addition, and had to obey the head of the family and their husbands. Modern Korean women are no longer 'bound to the hearth' and hold posts in practically every industry now, but, on the social front, the patriarchal habit still lingers, with many parents preferring boys over girls.

Joseon dynasty court architecture Lotus Lantern Festival Traditional arts Korean art Music Music of Korea Apart from the instruments used, traditional Korean music is characterized by improvisation and the lack of breaks between movements. A pansori performance can last for over eight hours during which a single singer performs continuously. Rather than contrasting different speeds as it is common in Western music, most traditional Korean music begins with the slowest movement and then accelerates as the performance continues. Korean court music , called jeongak, is closely related to the literate upper-class, and has a strong intellectual emphasis. Jeongak is played at a very slow pace, with single beats taking as long as three seconds. The beat matches the speed of breathing rather than the heartbeat as in most Western music, and feels static and meditative.

Korean culture seen by a non Korean Brother Anthony ( The first European woman to travel in Korea, late in the 19 th century, Isabella Bird-Bishop, gave fascinating descriptions in the book she wrote of the squalor in which most people lived, the corruption of the ruling elite, the Koreans¡¯ almost universal ignorance of the outside world, their apparently complete lack of artistic culture. Each evening she looked down from her hammock at the vermin of all kinds wriggling and running across the floor below, while crowds of curious villagers poked holes in the paper doors to stare at her. Yet after leaving Korea, she commented that there was no other country in the world that had made such a strong impression on her or awakened such feelings of intense affection. In a few years, she had come to love something about Korea and its culture that was stronger than all the negative aspects. Is love the sign of a successful intercultural encounter? In that case, we have to ask what can make us love aspects of a culture that may seem very un-loveable? It is not easy to answer the question of what ¡°Korean culture¡± is today, or how we can love it. But as a starting point the identity of the non-Korean seeing Korean culture is perhaps more important. After all, an Asian businessman who spends three days staying in a luxury hotel in downtown Seoul, meeting Koreans who speak English, is not in the same position as a Korean-speaking missionary or university teacher born in Europe who has lived more than twenty years in Korea. The writer of these pages belongs to this latter category, having lived in Seoul since May 1980. He has had many years in which to reflect on what Korean culture is, and what it means to him.
