Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Han-geul This affected the morphology of the language, and Korean phonology described it in terms of yin and yang: If a word had yang ('bright') vowels, then most suffixes also had to have a yang vowel; and conversely, if the root had yin ('dark') vowels, the suffixes needed to be yin as well. These include several that represent Korean sounds that have since disappeared from the standard language, as well as a larger number used to represent the sounds of the Chinese rime tables that were never used in Korean at all.

They have now allowed some of these victims to visit relatives in Japan, but since they are not allowing their Korean families out of the country, the victims are expected to dutifuly return to their North Korean prison -- most have not, hoping that their families will eventually be allowed to follow.

donga.com [english donga] The article also refuted the claims of do-or-die battles of Goguryeo’s general Ulji Mun-deok and general Yang Man-chun against the Sui dynasty and the Tang dynasty of China and the claims that the Sui and Tang dynasties did not rule the Goguryeo dynasty, by saying their arguments are merely the result of deep nationalistic sentiment. On top of that, the magazine rebuked South Korean academia’s position that regards Balhae Bay, the northern part of the Korean peninsula, including the Liaotung peninsula, Liaoning fortress, Hubei fortress, and Shantung peninsula, as the origin of Korean culture. In addition, responding to professor Sin Yong-ha, who had criticized China’s argument as historical imperialism, it said that the Joseon dynasty, after receiving help from the Ming dynasty during the Japanese invasion of Korea declared its allegiance and even used Ming’s chronological era. english.donga.com /srv/service.php3?bicode=060000&biid=2004080270538   (5608 words)

TRIBUNE COLUMN Peace had come to the battered Korean Peninsula months earlier, and Kang Bu Yang, orphaned during the struggle between countrymen, had been left to fend for himself, not an uncommon happening in the early 1950s.

Yin and yang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The concept of yin and yang (Traditional Chinese:陰陽; Simplified Chinese:阴阳; Hanyu Pinyin: yīnyáng; Korean hangul: 음양; hanja: 陰陽; revised: eumyang; McCune-Reischauer: ŭmyang; Vietnamese: Âm-Dương) originates in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics, which describes two primal opposing but complementary forces found in all things in the universe. One way to write the symbols for yin and yang are a solid line (yang) and a broken line (yin) which could be divided into the four stages of yin and yang and further divided into the eight trigrams (these trigrams are used on the South Korea flag).

INSIDE JoongAng Daily The completed swords were believed to have pure "yang" energy, and were kept in royal palaces and the houses of aristocrats as spirit guardians, since their power was believed to cast away evil spirits. Hong believed that the sword making business largely disappeared during the Japanese colonial period in the first half of the 20th century, when the promotion of Korean cultural heritage was banned by the Japanese government. "Korean swords are the origin of Japanese samurai swords," said Koo Ja-bong, a professor of cultural property at Kyungbuk College of Science. joongangdaily.joins.com /200504/03/200504031842211109900091009101.html   (1268 words)

[KS] RE: Film Screening & TRADITIONAL KOREAN DANCE - YI MAE BANG Yi's definition of the quintessential characteristics of traditional Korean dance is "stillness in movement" or "non-movement through movement."

KOREAN TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE -1 Korean architecture has also been affected by a number of Oriental conceptual thoughts: yin and yang, interpretation of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth), geomancy, Taoism and Confucianism either directly or indirectly. Korean artisans relied more on the working of nature than on their own craft, exerting their personal ingenuity or wisdom less, thus providing greater room for their instincts to operate. The characteristic decorations of Korean architecture might be found in between the two, maintaining the beauty of moderation in the use of color and architectural decoration. nongae.gsnu.ac.kr /~mirkoh/ob1.html   (1268 words)
