Korean archery culture that foreigners talk about. Episode 02.

 There is a long arrow next to the tradition, a traditional bow, a method of shooting an arrow carefully like a baby, a carved bamboo tradition of holding arrows, a person sitting on a rock and looking closely to see if a palace is straight. You put a lot of things in a small canvas, right? Each palace of the horn is made over a year with the sincerity and delicate skills of craftsmen, using precious ingredients such as high-quality bamboo, oak, cowhorn, cowhorn, birch bark, and croaker bushes, and has long been called the brave Goguryeo people who shot the world's most elastic palace. You may have seen this <Koguryo Hunting Island> a lot here. I don't know whose work it is, but it's a mural of Goguryeo's tomb Dance Gun. This painting is a kind of "Masangmuye" today. How amazing is this scene? It's very difficult to ride a horse well, but isn't it amazing that he was able to freely sit on a running horse, put both hands on the bow, and shoot at an animal that ran away quickly without staying still? And if you look closely at the arrow, it's called "Myeongjeok," which has a round tip different from ordinary arrows with sharp senses, and when you shoot, it flies and makes a swirling wind sound. Like this. That's why the animals are confused by the sound. It was so interesting that I introduced it to my friends in the United States and England and made it myself and shot it. They flew away with a real sound, and everyone was amazed. And at midnight on January 1, 2000, when the new millennium era opened, we made Joseon's Buddhist arrows and famous figures at Daehojeong Pavilion in the United States, and fired them into the sky with wishes. And one interesting thing was that while I was investigating Joseon's archery skills, I read that archery as a weapon disappeared in the late Joseon Dynasty, and I wanted to find out when the Joseon army last used a bow. So, I went back and investigated and came to <Shinmiyangyo>. So I went to Ganghwado Island about 20 times to investigate. However, the more I saw it, the more friendly Ganghwado Island became, and Ganghwado Island became my third hometown. I am very sorry that my hometowns, Gyeongju and Ganghwado, are competing to host Taekwondo Park with each other. On October 3 last year, at the Chamseongdan Festival in Ganghwado Island, I held the Shinmiyangyo Photo Exhibition with materials prepared by the Ganghwa County Office and myself, and many Koreans were surprised. There are pictures here. I am surprised that there were times like this, and that this fierce battle of ancestors took place only 130 years ago, and that is the true story of the Shinmiyangyo, which was briefly memorized from the history books of school. Photographs were rarely available in Korea, and I purchased them from the US Navy Museum and the US National Archives. Last year, my family drove a few days to check Joseon's Handicraft, which General Eo Jae-yeon took away, and was thrilled to see the handicraft at the Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, USA. The large Joseon handwriting, 4 meters wide and 4 meters long, was made of white cloth and black letters. Still, I was glad that the museum scooped all the small hexagonal stitch with a white thread on the back of the large fabric and kept it very well. I asked the president of the United States, senators, and Congressman of Michigan, my hometown, to return the handwriting of Joseon to Korea. However, we received an answer that only Korea cannot accept exceptions to the spoils. So, we studied how to find the remains of three U.S. Navy soldiers who died in Sinmiyangyo and buried them in Peony Island and exchange them for handwriting. I searched through Peony Island and finally found a unique American grave site, gave up a big bow, and according to Professor Kim Won-mo's book, Koreans had to give up because they took corpses out of Peony Island (used by the U.S. Navy as a base at the time, near Incheon) and burned the ashes to the sea. Still, I'm looking for another way.
