When nosotros yell the give-and-take ”Egypt,” the start matter that crosses one’s take away heed is the pyramids, but the reality is that Arab Republic of Egypt is amount of many other monuments together with charming places. Similarly, when I tell the give-and-take “Korea” inward front end of an Egyptian, they mean value straight of Samsung together with LG, together with perhaps K-pop, but they don’t know near the history or heritage items. Maybe they don’t fifty-fifty know that Korea has history together with civilization exactly similar Egypt.
I’m writing this article to smooth a spotlight on the hidden treasures of Korea. The heritage together with history of this province are exactly similar the roots of an erstwhile tree. However, exactly every bit the current of air blows, it volition terminal together with stand upwards until the terminate of time. It’s together with thus of import to read together with larn to a greater extent than near this country. Maybe someday nosotros volition run across a Korean someone together with it wouldn't last proficient plenty to exactly say, “Sorry, but I know zero near your country”. The agency inward which a monastic enjoin views itself together with thinks near its identity is really important, every bit without it, nosotros wouldn't last able to communicate. Once nosotros larn it, nosotros volition last excited to go to Korea.
The Korean culture, which is known every bit “Han,” contains a multifariousness of interesting traditions. It all starts amongst “Han“ together with each exceptional of it has an amazing story. Start amongst “Hanbok,” traditional Korean attire together with my favorite personal experience. I used to reckon Hanbok on TV, only similar skirts together with colorful tops, but when I came to vesture it, I was totally amazed. It’s non every bit elementary every bit I thought. The agency to vesture it, the pattern together with fifty-fifty the manufacture itself is together with thus valuable. Hanbok was exactly the start. When I wore it, I decided to purchase one, but since nosotros don’t convey it inward Egypt, I had to purchase i from Korea. Finally, the Korean Cultural Center inward Arab Republic of Egypt announced that in that location would last a Hanbok pattern workshop, but sewing sense was needed, together with thus I couldn’t join, but my woman bring upwards did. The hold off of the Hanbok is totally dissimilar compared to the agency to brand one. Now, I convey my ain Hanbok, but this fourth dimension exclusively I know how valuable it is.

Korean%2BCultural%2BCenter%2Bin%2BEgypt.jpg" width="640" /> Hangeul is the Korean alphabet. Ancient Koreans used to beak Korean but write using Chinese characters. Because that was together with thus difficult, exclusively the upper classes could write. The Koreans had a occupation amongst writing their linguistic communication together with became illiterate. So King Sejong the Great (r. 1418-1450) oversaw the creation of Hangeul inward 1443 to help the Korean masses read together with write their ain language. The squad of scholars who created the letters did so, the even goes, according to the shape of the rima oris together with tongue, to arrive tardily for everybody to larn it. Everyone inward Korea tin instantly read together with write Hangeul. Sejong didn't exclusively brand history. He fifty-fifty changed the futurity of Korea. On Oct. nine every year, people celebrate the Korean alphabet day, or Hangeul Day, every bit it’s an official holiday. The Korean Cultural Center inward Arab Republic of Egypt arranges events to celebrate Hangeul Day every year, together with thus they innovate Hangeul to the guests together with tell them the even of King Sejong the Great, play roughly games together with plough over away roughly awesome traditional Korean gifts to the winners.
Traditional Korean music is known every bit Hanguk eumak, which is songs together with music. Starting amongst the vocal “Arirang,” it was the start traditional Korean vocal I heard. I idea it was exactly a misfortunate song, but when I looked upwards the lyrics I came to know that it’s to a greater extent than than a even of a adult woman singing to her married adult man who decided to abandon her. It’s a even that refers to Korean history, every bit it shows Korean efforts to acquire independence from colonial rule. I besides came to know that the vocal "Arirang" has many versions together with has been translated into many languages, including English, French, German, Standard Mandarin together with simplified Chinese, Japanese together with Arabic.
Traditional trip the calorie-free fantastic together with music inward Korea are known every bit Hanguk ak. There are dissimilar types, every bit each i has a special together with unique style. The start fourth dimension I learned near traditional Korean trip the calorie-free fantastic together with music was at the Han-Arab Society Festival, the 9th Korea-Arab Friendship Caravan, when I attended an amazing performance.
I never idea that I would attend a last functioning of a traditional Korean show, but it was a peachy sense that I volition never forget. Still, the depth together with breadth of traditional Korea is amount of branches, similar Hansik and traditional food, Hanyak and traditional medicine, together with Hanguk akki, a type of traditional Korean musical instruments.
There's i big departure betwixt what I used to hear near Korea together with now. I haven't fifty-fifty visited Korea yet, but it’s non express to learning near countries exclusively when nosotros see them. Writing near Korea tin motivate readers to larn to a greater extent than near it, together with the to a greater extent than they learn, the to a greater extent than they volition last looking frontwards to visiting Korea together with having their ain experiences there. We acquire peachy experiences when nosotros learn. As long every bit I’m alive, I won’t halt learning.
