  • Ttongsul from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ttongsul From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ttongsul, or feces wine, is a Korean traditional wine made from feces, Ttongsul particularly that of humans. Hangul Ttongsul was first widely Hanja introduced to the public by Vice Japan’s Yuka Uchida in 2013. She Revised Romanization Ddongsul found Dr. Lee Chang Soo who McCune–Reischauer Ttongsul makes this Korean traditional wine.[1][2] Contents 1 Production 2 Origin 3 Books referring to ttongsul 4 References 5 External links Production Ttongsul may be produced in either of two ways. The more time- consuming involves submerging a bamboo stick in a chamber-pot which contains feces and alcohol. It is left there for several months as it ferments, and the ttongsul is extracted from the bamboo.[3][4] A more rapid method, which may produce less favorable results, simply involves mixing alcohol and feces directly for several days.[5][6] Origin Medicinal compounds produced from feces have a long history in China[7] and Korea. As long ago as the Tang Dynasty, chicken manure was used this way. In Japan, equine feces have been believed to have medicinal efficacy and have been traditionally used as therapy of choice since Sengoku period. Equine feces is said to be especially effective in treating gunshot wounds by direct application to the area, or consumption by mouth or in aqueous mixture.[8][9] Recently, it is permitted to be on the market for Heo Jun "Dongui bogam ()" state prototype.[10][11] Other types of (1613) feces were historically used in medicines, including those of flying squirrels, bats, hare, sparrows [12] and silkworms.

  • Hallyu at a Crossroads: the Clash of Korea's Soft Power Success and China's Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High
    Asian International Studies Review Vol. 18 No.1 (June 2017): 153-169 153 Received March 15, 2017 Revised May 10, 2017 Accepted May 20, 2017 Hallyu at a Crossroads: The Clash of Korea’s Soft Power Success and China’s Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Deployment HANNAH JUN* The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable success of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, with Korea welcoming a large influx of foreign visitors and benefiting from massive consumption of products ranging from Korean television and film, K-pop and lifestyle products. A more recent announcement by CJ E&M points to an even more aggressive plan for regional ubiquity, as encapsulated by Hallyu 4.0. Simultaneously, we have already felt some of the effect of policy changes in China – a core Hallyu market – as a response to Korea’s plan to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In this sense, we see the stirrings of a clash between Korean soft power and Chinese hard power, and are uncertain who will emerge on top. This paper examines the broad success of Hallyu from key theoretical perspectives, while addressing linkages between Korean corporations and cultural power/influence that have led to an announcement such as Hallyu 4.0. This paper also highlights the recent tensions between Korea and China, specifically with respect to THAAD deployment, and outlines potential implications for businesses and policymakers through preliminary scenarios.

  • DONGUIBOGAM Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine
    DONGUIBOGAM Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine PART A ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1. SUMMARY Donguibogam (hereinafter referred to as“ Bogam”), literally meaning“ Principles and Practice of Eastern Medicine”, is an encyclopedic bible of medical knowledge and treatment techniques compiled in Korea in 1613. It is edited by Heo Jun under the collective support of medical experts and literati according to the royal instruction. The state initiated the synthesis of various medical knowledge and also the setting up and implementation of an innovative public health programme for the common people. In medical respect, Bogam successfully synthesized competing contemporary theories of medicine that had accumulated in East Asia for two millennia and went on to integrate medical knowledge and clinical experiences together in a single collection of volumes. The work informs the evolution of medicine in East Asia and beyond. In terms of health care system, it developed the ideals of“ preventive medicine”and “public health care by the state,”which was virtually an unprecedented idea up to the 19th century. Thus, it stands for the historical development of the knowledge and skills of medicine in East Asia and further reflects the human footprints of world medicine and culture. As such, the significance and importance of Bogam is incomparable to anything in the world. 1) Bogam is the first-ever comprehensive book on medical principles and practice edited and distributed nationwide, according to the innovative order by state to proclaim the ideals of public health by the state and preventive medicine. Bogam is significant in that the state took the pioneering initiative to proclaim itself as early as in the 17th century to be responsible for public health.
