    "Must Visit Attractions in Seoul" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 8 Vorgemerkte Orte The War Memorial of Korea "In Memory Of The Korean War" Established in 1994, the War Memorial of Korea is one of the largest of its kind in the world and occupies the former army headquarters. It honors those who lost their lives fighting for their country through the course of the Korean War. The memorial comprises both indoor and outdoor exhibition halls that display a curated selection of 10,000 military relics, by Adbar artillery, ammunition, documents, photographs and other artifacts from the museum's 33,000-strong collection pertaining to the nation's long and illustrious war history. Although primarily focused on the events of the Korean War, the museum also delves into battles preceding it and the international wars that Korean troops were involved in to provide a wider and more comprehensive understanding of the topic. An evocative memorial to the cost of war, as well as a testament to the nation's military prowess, the War Memorial of Korea is a chronicle of the events that shaped the geo-political history of the Korean Peninsula. +82 2 709 3114 www.warmemo.or.kr/ 29 Itaewon-ro, Seoul Jongno "Where All the Fun Begins" Having a rich historical background, Jongno remains the epicenter of Seoul.

  • Perceptual Dialectology Study of Korean Focusing on Authentic Speakers of Gyeongsang Dialect
    Perceptual dialectology study of Korean focusing on authentic speakers of Gyeongsang dialect Young Hwang Indiana University Abstract Previous perceptual dialectology research on Korean has shown that Gyeongsang speakers display signs of linguistic insecurity and suffer from a dialect inferiority complex. The participants of these studies, however, were Gyeongsang expatriates living outside of the Gyeongsang region, either in Seoul or in the U.S., where most Korean speakers use Standard Korean. In order to address the gap in previous studies, the present study examines how “authentic” Gyeongsang speakers (that is, those living in the Gyeongsang region) perceive dialects in South Korea. The results of the present study reveal that Gyeongsang speakers living in Gyeongsang regions show positive attitudes toward their dialect. Although they judge their dialect less positively than Standard Korean because of the extraordinary authority of Standard Korean in South Korea, they generally perceive their dialect more positively than other regional dialects. Older speakers, in particular, demonstrate this tendency. The perceptual difference between Gyeongsang speakers living outside of the Gyeongsang regions and those living in the Gyeongsang regions suggest that an individual’s self- identity and living location influence his or her perception of a dialect. Keywords: Gyeongsang dialect; Korean dialects; perceptual dialectology; language attitudes 1. Introduction Perceptual dialectology is a branch of linguistics concerned with people’s perceptions of dialects and dialectal areas rather than the actual production of dialects. It explores where non-linguists believe dialect areas exist, the geographical extent of those areas, how non-linguists perceive dialects distinctively, and what attitudes non-linguists have toward different dialects (Preston 1999a).

Thus, a method to more scientifically estimate the extreme event is required. This paper suggests a method to estimate the extreme precipitation in Korea using a regional climate model. First, several historical extreme events are identified and the most extreme event of Typhoon Rusa (2002) is selected. Second, the selected event is reconstructed through the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, one of the Regional Climate Models (RCMs). Third, the reconstructed event is maximized by adjusting initial and boundary conditions. Finally, the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is obtained. The WRF could successfully simulate the observed precipitation in terms of spatial and temporal distribution (R2 = 0.81). The combination of the WRF Single-Moment (WSM 6-class graupel scheme (of microphysics), the Betts-Miller-Janjic scheme (of cumulus parameterization) and the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) scheme (of planetary boundary layer) was determined to be the best combination to reconstruct Typhoon Rusa.

  • Of Chinese Culture and the Construction of National Cultural
    2018 8th International Conference on Education, Management, Computer and Society (EMCS 2018) The "Koreanization" of Chinese Culture and the Construction of National Cultural Security System and Its Enlightenment -----From the perspective of the Changdeokgung Palace, a world cultural heritage in Korea Yang Linxi Li Zhen Guangdong Mechanical and Electrical Polytechnic Guangdong Mechanical and Electrical Polytechnic Guangzhou, 510515, China Guangzhou, 510515, China Abstract—South Korea and China belong to the same Confucian cultural circle, and there are many similarities in culture. But in terms of the application, China often lags behind South Korea. In 2005, the Korean Dragon Boat Festival was successfully applied; after the failure of the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, it took lessons and finally succeeded in the application in 2009. Next, in 2009, "Dong Yi Bao Jian" (Korean: 동의보감) was successful in the application of the book; followed by Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, the successful application in 2010. In 2013, South Korea made a successful application for wintering kimchi culture; in contrast to Chinese food, it failed two times, and it has not been successful yet. The cultural foundation of these projects in South Korea originated from China. In the process of applying for the legacy, it has formed a strong competition for China, which has made China's declaration and protection of world cultural heritage more challenging than ever. In addition to strong measures, South Korea has succeeded in Koreanizing Chinese heritage and has been recognized by international agencies. Taking Changdeokgung Palace as an example, this paper studies how to ignore the Chinese elements of Korean cultural heritage and build its "independence", and hopes to provide important inspiration for the declaration and protection of China's future cultural heritage.

VonBerg, Subject: World History Grade: 10th grade Purpose: Students will acquire geographical knowledge of Korea, especially The Republic of Korea, (South) through UNESCO/World Heritage sites both cultural and natural, as well as gain an appreciation of cultural sites. Students are to create a collage of UNESCO sites throughout Korea and reflect on why these areas were chosen, Content statements/Standards: - How culture develops and changes in ways that allow human societies to address their needs and concerns. - That behaviors, values, and beliefs of different cultures can lead to cooperation or pose barriers to cross–cultural understanding. - Concepts such as: location, physical and human characteristics of national and global regions in the past and present, and the interactions of humans with the environment. - Historical events provide opportunities to examine alternative courses of action. - The use of primary and secondary sources of information includes an examination of the credibility of each source. Lesson Length: One week, with 2 days in class. After introduction of UNESCO sites and purpose, lesson will be assigned as a homework project with a limit of 2 people per group. Introduction/Background: As a follow-up to the Cold War Era and the Korean War, this lesson is meant to give students the perspective on the division in Korea that has occurred as a result of the 38th parallel. A World Heritage Site is a landmark or area which has been officially recognized by the United Nations, specifically by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
