The Korea flag colour and element

• The colors of the flag are red, blue, and black on a white background. The flag represents the three
components of a country: the land (white background), the people (red and blue circles), and the
government (four sets of black stripes or trigrams).
• The elements of the flag symbolize the dual forces of nature. The red and blue circle in the center
of the flag is called "Taiji" in Korean, which literally means "supreme".
• The upper red part represents the power of yang (yang in Chinese), and the lower blue part
represents the power of um (yin in Chinese).
• The sky is the embodiment of the pure yang principle, represented by three connecting lines.
• The opposite three imaginary lines represent the Earth.
• The phase between the extremes of yang and um is represented by two lines with an imaginary
line between them representing fire
• The two imaginary lines are represented by a continuous line between them representing water.
• These four trigrams also symbolize the seasons and the basic directions.
Traditional Clothes
• Hanbok is the traditional attire of the Korean people.
• It is only worn on special occasions or anniversaries.
• Another characteristic of Korean clothes is the shape, the top is thin and the bottom is wide,
similar to a bell.
• The tight-fitting jacket reflects the shape of the upper body well.
• The wide and agile skirt hides the movement of the lower half of the body and sets off the
elegance of the wearer, making the wearer appear to be floating in the air.
• The Korean dress fabric is dyed with natural dyes.
Fine Arts
• Crafts
• During the Joseon period, popular handicrafts were made of porcelain and decorated with blue
painting.
• Korea is where many exquisite artifacts were excavated, including gilded crowns, patterned
pottery, jars or ornaments.
• The use of bronze developed in the Goryeo period. Brass, or copper containing one-third zinc, was
always a particularly popular material. However, this dynasty is best known for the use of celadon.
• Ceramics
• During the Goryeo period, jade-green celadon wares became more popular. In the 12th century,
sophisticated inlay methods were invented that allowed for more elaborate decoration with
different colors.
• White porcelain became popular in the 15th century and soon replaced celadon. White porcelain
was often painted or decorated with copper.
• Celadon porcelain became popular in the late Joseon period (late 17th century). The designs were
painted in cobalt blue on white porcelain.
