PS> I titled Han Style... the 'Han' means Korean..

Chinese also has the same spelling word 'Han', and call themselves 'Han chinese' but actually it's different from Korean 'Han'.
Chinese one is just from a specific ancient chinese dynasty 'Han(漢)'.. so it's really a proper noun.. more original Chinese own name is Hua(華) or Hua Xia (華夏)..

but on the contrary, Korean 'Han' is originated from universal Altaic word 'Han' or 'Khan'... in chinese character, it was written as '汗' '干' '罕' and sometimes 'Kagan'(可汗)(but actually 可汗 is also phonetic spelling of 'Khan' and it was limited to the meaning of 'emperor')

Korea has the same case,. ancient emperor or lord had been called 'Han', for example, the founder of Shilla was called 'Gese-Khan'.. moreover even governors had got such name 'Han/Khan/Gan'(汗, 翰, 韓, 干, 罕) .. and also Korean has many words derived from the word 'han' which meant 'high/ great/ many/king or lord' .. for instance, 'hana' - one / 'haneul' - sky or heaven / 'haneunim'(hanuel+nim) - God / 'hangawi'-thanksgiving day / hangyeoul- the peak of winter / hangil - wide road and so on..

above all, the official korean country name '대한민국/大韓民國/Dae-Han-Min-Guk/the republic of Great Han' is important,.. (likewise, korean call themselves 'Han-minjok/한민족/韓民族' ethnically)
the chinese character '韓' of korean name is just arbitrary signifiant about Korean 'Han'.. likewise actually the name of Seoul's river 'Han'(漢) is also such an arbitrary signifiant onto Seoul's river.. (a part of chinese call the Han river is an evidence of Chinese influence, but it's not true.. original Han river name was 'Ari' river, and Ari had the meaning 'wide, big, broad' so has the same meaning as korean word 'Han')

so, although in fact the chinese character '韓' was adopted from an ancient chinese local country 'Han韓' just due to its similar pronunciation as like '漢(Han), but in reality, korean Han(韓) has no actual relationship with the chinese local country's name. it was just an accidental result from the fact that korea had no proper own alphabet to write the name then.. anyway the truth, korean 'Han' was from ancient korean 'Three Han era'(altaic word 'Han'), never changes..

Korean style is called 'Han style' recently domestically as a cultural movement.. therefore I made the title of this thread 'Korean Style (Han Style) '... that's why i give this long explanation..

Dancheong painting, so colourful, a stark contrast to Japanese buildings.

Mussoda · September 28th, 2007, 04:19 PM

yep. that's it. it's one of the contrary features

Audiomuse · September 29th, 2007, 02:33 AM

A look into the cultural fabrics of Korea,well done!

Mussoda · September 29th, 2007, 03:31 AM

yep.. welcome macon4ever !

Mussoda · September 29th, 2007, 03:34 AM

* Dancheong is used only to public architectures such as palaces, government offices, local administrative offices, big temples, big pavilion, shrines and so on,...
on the contrary, personal private houses (called 'Hanok') just reveal its wood color and no painting,..

Mussoda · September 29th, 2007, 04:14 AM

Ragung (라궁, 羅宮) opened at Gyeongju recently... inside the Shilla Millennium Park..
the name, Ragung, comes from 'Shilla Palace'(Shilla+Gung) (Shilla is an ancient local country of Korea which occupied the southeast side of korean peninsula)

It is specially featured being the first trial to make hotel with the traditional architecture, 'Hanok'

Mussoda · September 29th, 2007, 04:14 AM

(official name of Ragung is "Millennium Palace Resort & Spa")
(confer the offical website www.shillamillenniumpark.com)

wow... very nice pictures...

I think there is a great furture for the hanok style buildings with modern ammenities..

The shoe free interior + Ondol heating system is uniquely korean dating
back to Balhae period(or probably older). I read that some luxury
western houses are adopting this system also.

Ondol was used far before then. Earlier forms of ondol have been found in iron age sites of northern Korea and southern Manchuria. In other words, the Ancient Chosun period.

I doubt it. Inefficient use of space.
