The truth of sitting culture and standing culture.

 Hello... As far as I know... Standing culture has been in Korea since before Goryeo. Rather, standing culture was the main focus. Among Korea's unique cultures, there is Ondol. It's a great heating system. Until the early 18th century, Europeans spent cold winter shaking with only one fireplace. Now, it has become a symbol of luxury, such as placing a fireplace in a luxury villa. Western scholars say that not a few people admire the ondol in our country. But suddenly, I'm talking about ondol because... The ondols of the Gojoseon, Buyeo, and Goguryeo periods are a little different from the ondols we know now. Currently, the ondol is a flat floor, but at that time, the ondol was raised to the left and right of the room, and there was an ondol, and the middle of the room was low... I don't know if you've been to the military, but it's the same structure as the military interior team. If it's hard to understand, it's similar when you look at restaurants (especially Korean restaurants). There's a table and a chair and a separate room, so you can sit down and eat. When I slept, I lived in the left and right spaces where the floor was raised right away, and most of them lived their daily lives by leaving tables or chairs in the middle of the room, drinking tea, and welcoming guests. It is also said that Goguryeo people were always carrying gods except when they were sleeping. In case of riding a horse or a national crisis... This ondol shape still remains in many areas such as Manchuria and other areas where Chinese-Chinese live. Since the Three Kingdoms Period, this ondol shape has been created in the Korean Peninsula (mainly in the middle and southern regions) to make ondol only with flat floors. During the Goryeo Dynasty, the imperial family, aristocrats, and some ordinary people lived in a standing culture. Most of the people have a sedentary culture (Southern Ondol Life). Then, the Joseon Dynasty was a similar lifestyle to Goryeo until the early days (the Taejong period), but since then, all of the royal family, noblemen, or commoners have settled into a sedentary culture. For this reason, the Joseon Dynasty gradually established itself as a Confucian culture. It can be said that it originated from denying the culture of Goryeo Dynasty in the past because it was all kinds of luxury and non-relational. And... Compared to the Three Kingdoms period, more active life patterns... It's also because they encouraged a quiet lifestyle, that is, a Confucian life. But... I feel like it's going backwards. From Buyeo, Goguryeo, and Goryeo Dynasty, wagons that were widely used not only in the military but also in everyday life almost disappeared during the Joseon Dynasty. And... It'll be hard to leave relics like chairs, right? Not only is it made of wood... There are only a few relics left in Korea, especially from ancient times. ^^ There are still countless artifacts in Manchuria and Primorsky, but... As China develops everywhere, it is rapidly damaged and leaking overseas...
