History based on indigenous peoples.

 Seeds that have been raised or cultivated in one region for a long time without breeding livestock or crops in other regions and adapted to the climate. By biological classification, species that are not present in other regions are classified as independent species, but if they have similar traits and shapes in other regions, genetic factors representing animals and plants may be the same, so they are not classified separately. Therefore, native is a new trait of animals and plants with unique robustness and disease resistance while adapting to suit the climate and climate of an area for thousands or hundreds of years. In the case of native Korean, especially native animals, due to the economic-oriented agricultural policy that began in the late 1960s, native species that lagged behind imported or improved species in terms of simple productivity were extinct or endangered. Then, since the late 1980s, as it became urgent to secure independent seeds and traditional species to cope with the international open era of the agricultural and fishery market, native research has been conducted focusing on plants and crops. Potatoes, which were first introduced to Korea in 1824 (Sunjo 24) in Manchuria, were nativeized into various varieties as they were cultivated in North Korea and mountainous areas in Gangwon-do, and native species were almost extinct in the 1960s. Types include white and red Hamnambaek and Hamnamjeok, which were cultivated in Hamgyeongnam-do, and purple potatoes and yellow potatoes in Gangwon-do and Gyeonggi-do. Among them, the representative native potatoes are dark purple potatoes (also known as Chuncheon traditional potatoes), which are excellent in disease resistance and storage and are hard and do not break easily when cooked. In addition, yellow potatoes are a variety with sticky texture and excellent taste. The characteristic of native Korean potatoes is that they are low in productivity but resistant to anthrax and viruses. [Dog] Academia estimates that the history of dogs raised in Korea is at least 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, and in literature, "Sapsalgae," which appears from the Silla Dynasty, is regarded as the longest-running native dog. At the time of Japanese colonial era, efforts are being made to standardize outstanding varieties centering on Jeju dogs, Geoje dogs, and Pungsan dogs, as native dogs such as Sapsal dogs became extinct due to the public's indifference. Sapsalgae has the oldest breeding history in Korea and is recognized as a ghost-chasing dog in the sentiment of the common people. Jindo dogs are not only hunter-gatherer and homogenous and loyal, but also have the cleverness of covering excrement with soil in places that are not necessarily visible outside the house. Jeju dogs were popular as pets and housekeepers because of their small size, agility, and excellent loyalty and resistance, and were also used as hunting dogs. Unlike other hounds, Geoje dogs have excellent discernment for livestock and wild animals. In addition, although he is usually gentle, he has a strong endurance to track the target to the end during hunting, so he was once sold more expensive than cattle. Pungsangae is a representative hunting dog in North Korea and was designated as a natural monument along with Jindo dogs in 1938. [Chicken] The timing and route of chicken entering Korea are not clear, but it is estimated to be about 2,400 years ago. Currently, there are Yeonsan Ogolgye, Jangmigye, and regular chickens, but Yeonsan Ogolgye is the only chicken with pure blood. Ogolgye is known to have been raised when the 14th generation descendant of Ikandaegun, the third son of King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty, settled in Yeonsan in 1650 (the 1st year of King Hyojong's reign), and was designated as Natural Monument No. 265 in 1980. It is well known as a weak system, and its fur is black and it contains melanin pigments throughout the body, so its skin and skeleton are dark purple close to black. It is preserved in Hwaak-ri, Yeonsan-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. The rose system has short legs, thin tail length of 30cm, and has a black beak with reddish brown body color. In addition, it is smaller than foreign species and has a breeding period of about four times longer. The characteristic of Korean native chickens is that they contain higher protein and lower fat than foreign species, rich in nutrition, chewy meat, and light taste. The fact that pigs began to become native species in Korea is estimated to be 3,000 BC, based on the fact that bones were found in piles of shells in Unggi and Dongsam-dong, Busan, North Hamgyeong Province. Native pigs are characterized by short, glossy black fur and pointed heads. Although he is small, about 40 centimeters long and weighs 22.5 to 37.5 kilograms, his constitution is strong enough to produce 5 to 10 birds at a time. Just before the Korean War, the number exceeded 300,000 nationwide, but in the 60s, it began to disappear as foreign species became widely distributed. Recently, efforts have been made to revive hybrid species to native species using the gene washing method. [Mu] It is estimated that radish entered Korea around 2000 years ago, and literature shows that it has appeared since the Goryeo Dynasty. Currently, there are about 13 native radishes that are maintained or extinct by region, but their characteristics are identified. However, due to the expansion of the supply of improved seeds in the 1970s, the rest cannot be found except for some of them, such as Daepyeongmu, Namwonmu, and Seoul Mureumu. Extincts include Andong Pungsanmu, Dalseongdae Chijeongmu, Dalseong Mabijeongmu, Gyeongju Gyerimmu, Tongyeong and Gwangsan Rat tailmu, Jangheung Pine Dumu, Namhae and Jangheung Mokhwabatmu, Ulsan, etc. Currently, Daepyeongmu is a representative native radish that remains, with relatively high productivity, sweet and cool taste. Namwon radish grows well in red clay mixed with sand and is also called Bangtomu, which has excellent storage properties, and is about 50 to 80cm taller than other varieties and has about 10 leaves. Seoul Mureulmu was the most planted variety in the country and was called Joseonmu, and was mainly cultivated in Goyang and Gaeseong for royal tribute during the Joseon Dynasty. Meanwhile, a lot of Korean native radishes disappeared in the 1970s due to the expansion of the supply of improved seeds, but 420 kinds of improved species based on native species have been developed and exported to more than 100 countries around the world. [Meal] Wheat came into Korea during the Neolithic Age, more than 3,000 years ago, and it is presumed that it has already been widely cultivated as a staple grain since the Three Kingdoms Period. As a result of a survey of the types of native wheat called by different names from 1923 to 24, 203 kinds were collected, and a 33rd survey of Japanese also revealed 90 kinds of Korean native wheat and 10 kinds of sitting-down wheat among them. Although it is almost extinct now, it has recently been revealed that a species believed to be sitting beetle is cultivated in Deoksin-ri, Seolcheon-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. Sitting wheat is an excellent variety with genetic factors that do not collapse easily in the wind due to its short height, and is 30cm to 40cm smaller than regular wheat, longer ears, and chubby. Depending on the region, it was also called Miryangjasomaek and dwarf wheat. [Cabbage] It is estimated that cabbage, which began to be cultivated in China around the 10th century, has entered Korea for over 700 years, and after that, cultivation spread and became indigenous by dipping it in kimchi. Since the 1960s, native cabbage has disappeared due to the spread of new varieties, but there is only a native of Ganghwa turnip, the origin of cabbage. Currently, there are 30 types of cabbages grown in Korea, but they are all improved species. Representative native cabbages were Kaesong cabbage and Seoul cabbage, which have a unique soft, savory taste and the advantage of growing fast, but have been extinct or lost in original form due to the spread of new varieties. Uiseong cabbage, which is grown only in Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, does not smell green and has no bitter taste, and is mainly used to wrap wraps. Turnip, which is cultivated only in Ganghwa, is mistakenly known as radish because it mainly uses roots, but turnip is a species of cabbage and is the origin of cabbage. The root of the turnip is purple or white, and there were conical and oval shapes, but only conical shapes remain now. The root diameter is about 10-20cm, which is as large as radish and does not get windy. Among the oriental species, bees that spread to China, Korea, and Japan were evolved and indigenous as temperate bees with excellent cold resistance. Literature suggests that beekeeping began in Korea about 2,000 years ago during the reign of King Dongmyeongseong of Goguryeo. Native bees have the advantage of excellent resistance to pests and cold resistance, and excellent diligence to fill and search for wheat fields. The color is dark gray, and the body size is about 80 to 85% of Western species. On the other hand, it is extremely sensitive to noise and air pollution, and has the disadvantage of not being able to collect royal jelly and Bonggyo, which can be collected from Western species. In the late 1970s, traditional peak protection zones were established in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do to protect native bees. Rice] The history of rice cultivation in Korea has been about 4,000 years ago, and in the 1910s, 1,451 kinds of native rice were identified, but in 1906, it was pushed out to a highly harvestable Japanese variety, and from 1971, the native rice disappeared. Types of native rice include jachae, jagwang, blue-duck ducks, Keimido, Goldenja, Soro, Sarori, and Heukgeombugi, but all of them are now extinct except for Jagwang. Jachae rice was the best variety offered to the king, and was cultivated in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, but completely disappeared in the early 1970s due to the government's policy to encourage new varieties. Jagwang rice, along with Jachae rice, is a representative native rice with a beard on its ears, and its leaves are narrow compared to ordinary rice, but it is about 20 to 30cm taller. The leaves are purple and the rice is red, and the gloss and stickiness are excellent. However, the cultivation process has decreased significantly since the 1970s due to the difficulty of cultivation process, such as harvesting only 50-60% compared to general rice and the use of compost outside to increase the ground power after harvesting. [Goat] It seems that the breeding period in Korea was before the Samhan period, and since grazing was raised mainly to use as a supplement, the pure bloodline is well preserved because few bridges were carried out. It was also called mountain goats, sheep, goats, and salt cows, and there were black, brown, and white, but the rest of the colors became extinct due to the preference of black goats as a supplement.
