Info

was dominant during the Three Kingdoms period. Three pagodas stand in a line going east to west, each with its own hall, therefore called the onehall per-pagoda style. There were also two-pagoda and three-pagoda structures. Bulguksa is one of the most beautiful of the temples built in the Unified Silla period. The woodwork of these temples was often painted in patterns of flaming colors, called dancheong, a technique still practiced today. Used in traditional motifs and symbols, each color is supposed to have its own meaning: blue=spring, red=summer, white=autumn, black=winter, yellow=the changing of seasons, and reddish brown=harmony. Of course, people didn't live in these temples, and the typical house that Korean farmers lived in, dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, was quite different. Always single story, these farmers' homes had thatched roofs and clay walls, and were usually built in an L- or U-shape around an open courtyard. 53 _ Culture Did You Know? Traditional Korean houses have long had central heating. The kitchen stove was connected to vents underneath the floor of the main room (or rooms), which radiated heat up through the floor. This made it comfortable to sleep and sit on cushions or mattresses on the floor. Heated floors, or ondol, are still the way in which Korean homes are heated, although now they use water pipes heated by gas or electricity, instead of firewood.
54 _ HELLO from KOREA Music You've seen Korea at least in the pages of this book, but you may not have heard her. And how can you know her if you haven't heard her? Unfortunately, this book is not equipped with sound, so you'll just have to read about it here, and go elsewhere to hear, first-hand, an example of Korean music. Traditional Korean music, like its art or history, is a category so broad that it is difficult to talk about briefly. Together with more than 60 distinct instruments, 45 of which are still played today, Korean music has its own distinct repertory and musical forms. The earliest instrumental Korean music that is still performed today, Sujecheon, is a form of court music over a thousand years old, performed by an instrumental ensemble that includes the daegeum a transverse bamboo flutes, the piri a cylindrical oboe, the gayageum a twelve-stringed zither, and a variety of drums and other percussion instruments. Court music also included military music and ritual music, which accompanied Confucian rituals or ceremonies at royal shrines. Confucian ritual music is still performed in Seoul every year.
