The reason I write an essay about Korea traditional shamanism need to know
about the traditional culture of Korea by Korea people. If you read my essay on Korea traditional culture,
there are two big advantages. First, they can see the knowledge of the culture
they do not know Korea. Second, they do not experience their cultural past
directly can get a feel experienced indirectly. From now on let's learn about Shamanism in Korea traditional
culture? South
Korea has a special culture. In korea believed the ethnic religions from once
upon a time. In addition, in korea there was a magic or religion
centered on the shaman to communicate with supernatural beings directly. Easy to say, Shamanism can be described as old people believed
faith. Not only that old people are also believed Sansin. Sansin means the guardian of the
mountain. And Sansin is guardian of the villagers. Also the sansin is man. The following is a
Mudang. Mudang means those who serve God. And it acts an intermediary to convey
to people the story to listen to God speak. In addition, the mudang is mostly
women and virgin.
Cite the evidence or examples that support my topic and reason. First, above picture is a picture that shows the three
lines and tiger pine. This picture comes through reason can prove that old
people had a belief in traditional cultures as well. And three features that
appear in this picture is that it has a meaning that all three defenders. Second,
As you can see from the photos on the Sanshin is the grandfather I beard. In
other words, is that man. Why this man that the Sanshin to explain, the example
is a tiger in the picture. The tiger means a man and a guardian. And tiger is
the devil chasing mean. As a result, believed that the force strong man Guardian. Because most of those who rely on faith the power weak
women. Three, the mudang is mostly women and virgin. Most
memorial service when God was providing a live animal as a sacrifice. But sometimes
in ancient times there was a custom of offering sacrifices to live a virgin. Because
virgin is sacrificed because we think are right to know a woman with a clean
body. So the mudang is mostly women and virgin. Because it is God
dedicated.
The reason I write an essay about Korea traditional shamanism need to know
about the traditional culture of Korea by Korea people. Has this to say. “Knowing
the past can be seen now. Also, it can be seen in the future if you know the
date. Therefore A knowledge of the historical to get and studying about that
knowledge is helpful in the current generation. In addition, an analysis based
on the past of the current it can make a better future.” So would I write
an essay about Korea traditional culture.
Park SeoIn
Yes, I think
shamanism is important for Korea society, because Shamanism is a religion which
is based on the belief that the world is controlled by good and evil spirits,
and that these spirits can be directed by people with special powers. And
shamanism is a religion a happening in every region of the world. So, each of
country have a religious, cultural catholicity, dynamism.
First reason of
important on shamanism is helped to community gained wisdom, power through a
trip to a different world by shamans. For example, shamans are announce about
community will have a drought, so community people leaved on their community.
This is impossible if shamans never did trip to a different world.
Second reason of
important on shamanism is conceptual foundation of Korea religion. Nowadays,
most religions were received from other countries. But shamanism is traditional
religion in Korea. Therefore this is included about Korea history. For example,
god believed by shamans is admiral of Korean. And, that is folk tendency likes
jangseung, Korean traditional totem pole at the village entrance.
Third reason of
important on shamanism is very popular religion. Most of the Korean people are
believe shamans. They often consulted a fortune-teller by shamans. For example,
many people consulted about their boyfriend and girlfriend, their future, their
friends, their health. Each of the people is regularly go to the shaman.
I think Shamanism is helped to community gained wisdom. And, shamanism is
conceptual foundation of Korea religion. Lastly, shamanism is very popular
religion. For all those reasons, shamanism is important for Korean society.
Hwang SuJin Alice
Yes,
I think Shamanism is important for Korean society. Actually, shamanism is less
important for modern Korean society. But once upon a time, shamanism is very
important for the ancient Korean society, because our ancestors thought
shamanism was very important. And they believed shamanism. People believed in
shamans.
For example, a time-honored
story is the myth of Tan’gun. Hanw-ung (the sky of king’ son) and Ungnyeo (bear changed woman) married and had a son, who they
named Tan’gun. This story’s main characters are Hanw-ung, bear, tiger, and Tan’gun. The meaning of Hanw-ung is some people believed in the sky. They
served the sky. And the meaning of bear and tiger are that other people
believed in animals. They served animals. Especially, many people worshiped the
bear and the tiger. And the meaning of Tan’gun is that he is a shaman. And a shamanist symbol is Jang-seung. We can
frequently see Jang-seung at ancient village’s entrance. People believed Jang-seung protect the village. When evil
enters a village, Jang-seung expels the evil. So far, Jang-seung are located at
the entrance to the village. Another shamanist symbol is the stone pile. When
people pray for something, people piled stones. Then their wish comes true.
People believed in stone piles. So nowadays people trust stone piles.
Shamanism is less important for
modern Korean society. But if it wasn’t for shamanism, we wouldn’t know our ancestor’s life style. And some people
still believ in shamanism, because when old people worry about future, Old
people go to a shaman’s house. A Shaman can tell them
about their future and they trust the shaman’s speech. I think Shamanism is important for Korean society, because I
think shamanism has for a long history made it through Korea.
So I think shamanism is Korean society’s culture and life style and history.
