He wanted to complete it through Jesus, whom He sent as the Messiah; however, the people of Israel and the religion of Judaism failed to fulfill their responsibility to receive him. Hence, God again sent a Savior to humankind, this time among the Korean people. The True Parents have come with this mission. Because the True Parents came to take charge of God's providence of salvation, their births were events of great significance. Accordingly, many signs accompanied their births. For instance, there was an old tree standing in front of True Father's birthplace. Shortly before he was born a golden bird flew into that tree, sang beautifully, and then left. Also before the birth of True Mother, Hong Soon-ae, True Mother's mother, received a message in a dream, "If you have a son, he will become the king of the universe; if you have a daughter, she will become the queen of the universe." On April 17, 1935, at the age of 16 (by Korean counting), True Father was tearfully praying on a mountainside when Jesus called him to complete the mission of the Messiah.

  • Korean Sovereignty Over Dokdo - Facts and Evidence
    Part II: Korean Sovereignty over Dokdo - Facts and Evidence 1. When Did Dokdo Become a Part of Korean Territory? Korean title to Dokdo dates back to the 6th century. According to the records of Samguk Sagi -(History of the Three Kingdoms), Korean sovereignty over the island was established with the incorporation of Usanguk -(“guk” means “state”) into the Kingdom of Silla, one of the three ancient kingdoms of Korea, in 512 A.D. Samguk Sagi records that in 512 A.D., Yi Sa-bu, a Silla government official, subjugated the island state on behalf of Silla. The territory of Usanguk comprised the islands of Ulleungdo and Usando -(present-day Dokdo). Historical facts surrounding this event and the establishment of Korean title to Dokdo are further buttressed by medieval Korean records: Sejong Sillok Jiriji -(Geographical Appendix to the Annals of King Sejong) and Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam -(Revised and Augmented Version of the Survey of the National Geography of Korea), published in 1454 and 1531 respectively. Within the two official records marking sovereign limits of the Kingdom of Joseon, Dokdo was clearly marked as belonging to Gangwon Province, one of eight provinces of the medieval Korean kingdom. It is particularly worth noting that Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam appends Paldo Chongdo -(Map of Eight Provinces of Korea) and Gangwondo Jido -(Map of Gangwon Province), both of which mark Ulleungdo and Dokdo as belonging to Korea’s Gangwon Province. The variety of Korean documentary and cartographical evidence naturally leads to questions to what, if any, kind of materials the Japanese have presented in challenging Korean ownership of Dokdo.

  • The Hangul Characters
    The Korean language is classified as a member of the Ural-Altaic family (other members of this family include the Mongolian, Finnish, and Hungarian languages.) Until the early 1400s, most documents were written in classical Chinese characters (known in Korean as Hanja). As the idiographs are difficult to learn, only the educated people could read and write. King Sejong, the 4th ruler of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), set up a special committee of scholars in 1443 to create a new writing system specifically suited to the Korean language. The result was Hangul (meaning 'the one script'). It originally contained 28 symbols, although 4 have dropped out of use. The alphabet has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The consonants represent the simplified outlines of the parts of the mouth and tongue used to pronounce them. The vowels are associated with elements of the philosophy of the Book of Changes. In 1994, Discovery magazine described Hangul as the most logical language writing system in the world. The simplicity of Hangul led Korea to become one of the most literate countries in the world. U.S. novelist Pearl Buck said that Hangul is the simplest writing system in the world and likenedKing Sejong to Leonardo da Vinci. Even though Hangul is a system of phonetic symbols, it is categorized as new level of feature system, the first and the only in the world. On Oct. 1, 1997, UNESCO designated Hunminjeongeum as world archive property. Koreans commemorate the creation of Hangul each year on October 9. The Hangul Characters Before you begin learning the language, you should take some time to practice writing Hangul.

The data were collected using time diary and questionnaire from the 369 rural households in eight provinces of the nation, which were divided into two subgroups based on their annual income, the poor and the non-poor. The questionnaire consisted of questions about the subjective satisfactions of life domains. The major findings are summarized as follows. The average age of the poor farming household respondents is 10 years higher than that of the non-poor household respondents. The average annual income of the poor farming households was only about one sixth of the non-poor. The major crops of the non-poor farming households are evenly distributed compared to those of the poor. There is no difference in time use except for non-agricultural activities between the two groups during the peak farming season, but there is a great difference during the slack season.

  • Generality and Distinctiveness of Korean Language Modernization
    2015 HARVARD-YENCHING GENERALITY AND DISTINCTIVENESS OF INSTITUTE WORKING KOREAN LANGUAGE MODERNIZATION PAPER SERIES An Yelee | Yonsei University Generality and Distinctiveness of Korean Language Modernization Yelee An Yonsei University [email protected] Abstract This present paper attempts to explore the general and unique characteristics of Korean language modernization in its early stage (1894-1910) in order to rethink the Europe-centered model of linguistic modernity. The main concern of this paper is twofold: whether the vernacularization is the essence of language modernization, and whether the phoneticism is identical to the pursuit of Westernization. It was common that the breakdown of pre-modern diglossia took place during the course of language modernization through the vernacularization; however, this does not mean that there was only one way that the conventional diglossic structure came to be dissolved. Both Europe and East Asia at large witnessed the fall of their classical language and the rise of the vernacular, whereas the Arab nations saw the evolution of the diglossia evolving into triglossia through modernizing its classical language, not the vernacular. The key factors determining the direction of language modernization were not matters of communication or culture, but rather the formation of modern national identity and power struggles. Multiple trajectories are also found when it comes to the matter of implementing phonograms. At the turn of the twentieth century in East Asia, phonetic script was considered the emblem of the civilized world, in other words, the West. The pursuit of phonograms was a shared concern in East Asia however it was only Korea that ended up implementing the phonetic script exclusively.

  • A Story of the Management of the Gangneung Danoje Festival
    2018 "Replacing Faith in Spirits with Faith in Heritage: A Story of the Management of the Gangneung Danoje Festival." In Safeguarding Intangible Heritage: Practices and Policies, edited by Laurajane Smith and Natsuko Akagawa. 155-173. London: Routledge. Chapter 10 Replacing faith in spirits with faith in heritage A story of the management of the Gangneung Danoje Festival CedarBough T. Saeji Vignette A precisely coiffed shaman faced the audience; at her back a long altar covered with food offerings and elaborate displays of vibrantly colored paper flowers. At the center of the altar was a seolgyeong, cut out paper figures of the deceased, and to each side there were photos and small name tablets used in Korean memorial rituals. This o-gu-gut, a ritual traditionally used to send souls to the other side, was being held for all the deceased members of the Gangneung Danoje Preservation Association. The name tablets and photographs represented those who had achieved the highest rank before their passing. In front of the shaman were musi- cians, arranged in a U shape, with the shaman at the open end of the U and the most important musician, the player of the hourglass drum, in the center with his back to the audience. As this o-gu-gut, part of a celebration of the 10th anniversary of UNESCO designation for Gangneung Danoje, began to hit its stride, the shaman Kim Dongyeon chanted about Sin Seoknam, a now-deceased National Human Treasure, and one of Kim’s teachers. Repeatedly she referenced cultural policy: “She protected our culture . wah-wah-wah,” she sing-cried, “She would want to know that now we have many advanced learners .

  • North Korea Location Geography Climate History
    North Korea Location North Korea is located in Eastern Asia, northern half of the Korean Peninsula bordering the Korea Bay and the Sea of Japan, between China and South Korea. North Korea lies between 40 00 °N, and 127 00 °E. latitude measuring 1,673 km long. Geography The land is formed by the Korean Peninsula and the 4,198 islands that surrounding it. North Korea is bordered on the north with China and Russia through the rivers Amrok and Duman. East, West, and South Korea is surrounded by sea. The mountains encompass approximately 80% of the land, and the medium height is 440m above the sea level. From the north to the South Korean sea, there are more than 100 mountains with a height bigger than 2000m. Climate Korea has a typical mild climate with the different seasons of the year. The year’s middle temperature is between 8℃ and 12℃. The middle year’s rainfall is 1.123 mm. Summer is the season when it rains the most. This season helps the cultivation of rice and other crops. Sunshine total in the year is between 2.280 and 2.680 hours, much higher than most other regions in the same latitude. History Following World War II, Korea was split, with the northern half coming under Communist domination and the southern portion becoming Western-oriented. KIM Chong-il has ruled North Korea since his father and the country's founder, President KIM Il-Song, died in 1994. After decades of mismanagement, the North relies heavily on international food aide to feed its population while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of about 1 million.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation o f techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which m ay appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image andduplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated w ith a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
