When mounting a fight, it is well known that it is in the middle is just taking some host, and this is valid for a slum to international relations. Being located halfway between China and Japan meant that every time you hit, small carry Korea hosts without eating or drinking. Since ancient times, China has never asking nothing in return to their neighboring vassal kingdoms, virtually no taxes, only to kneel, will rub the ground with his forehead and recognize that China was superior, their culture was the highest. China was the center of the world and its Emperor, the Son of Heaven, was in charge of maintaining the harmony of the Cosmos.
But one day, more than 1000 years ago, came a letter to the Emperor of China, the letter was the return of the islands of the East, the country of the dwarfs "as they called the Chinese Japan. This letter, right away, said: "The Emperor of the country where Sol was born in the country presents to the emperor where the sun sets . The Chinese emperor did not read more. He was filled with wonder, How could such a bold?, how dare the barbarian chieftain compared with Son of Heaven, to stand as equals with Him? Such brazen it inconceivable. China was the Celestial Empire, and World Navel center of Buda, and its Emperor was the one who did that spring crops. And suddenly, this genius who lived in a thatched hut and sat on the fucking floor to eat raw fish dared to proclaim his equal. It was then more or less, when China and Japan began to compete to see who was more cool and be wrong. This is what happens with the neighbors: one day you give them the script, another day Confucianism, Buddhism to the next, when you ask that you return them on your neighbor is crazy and you have just to retire the greeting, or even the thing can come to blows.
Japan could put China's cool because it separated the sea, the truth be told. And, although we may have boats, the sea very protective, for example, in England. An invasion by sea and is a fucking thing to assemble, requiring time, money and desire and, like it or not, so then you are leaving, and finally, you forget. Either that or is a Storm buries you fat and the fleet.
Little Korea, meanwhile, could not afford to be cool with the Middle Kingdom, because it was land border and at least change the Chinese could send an army of 50 million of soldiers to explain to the boss here. The king of Korea was a subject of the Chinese emperor and not talking. The thing used to be calm but sometimes, the Japanese-or at least their leaders, gave them the yu-yu and said they wanted to conquer the world starting with China and made land an army in Korea, which is the way shorter. The Koreans, who were less, ranging running to ask for help from the Chinese, because for some was a vassal kingdom, "and everyone ended up getting blood on the battlefield. And that history has repeated itself, more or less the same actors, until the last century.
Red and blue top down, as the peninsula.
They say what does not kill you makes you stronger, and it seems that the fact of spending life with two fights big boy made Korea a small country with a strong sense of national sentiment , to call it somehow. Either eat or you eat. Nation ideas = Race = Culture = Territory are powerful in Korea as they are in Israel, another country that also was in the middle of everything and also rained when the Assyrian hosts buzzing with the Egyptians, the Romans deliveries , etc. Not that your god is angry with you and punish you, is that the site you have chosen is about halfway around and armies and both sides end up going out there, and burn your house on the outward and return journeys.
In Korea, therefore, as not always able to show off the ideas or Nation Territory (even now, at least As for the idea of \u200b\u200bunified territory ) they compensated with their remaining ideas: those of Race and Culture especially Culture: to avoid being classified as a byproduct of a powerful civilization, as their neighbors, they stressed their own peculiarities and cultural works. In these creations, among the most famous highlights the traditional female costume, the hanbok -insurance that you dream of one world, one that carries the waist up to her tits. But above all, tend to emphasize the Korean script, Hangul the .
Hanbok with pepper string included.
The hangul is the pride of Korea (currently both), it ordered six centuries ago to create a Korean king very good as an alternative to written Chinese, which was very, very bloody to learn-in fact, the Chinese script was designed to be difficult, so that only highly trained bureaucratic elite could use it. Now, the hangul has come to practically the entire world, are such as simbolitos rare that supplements come in Pucca .
since Korea was divided in two different countries, both have led the world in Korean culture. They may be curious the different positions that have followed in terms of more current communication via the Internet : While South Korea has stationed fully online, and to a level of national policy , North Korea can boast virtually the country in the world with fewer web pages (only 2, although the country itself still has no dominion, has reserved. kp). When I met with Official Website North Korea, the truth is that I was a little surprised by the level of mundanity. Those who wish may enjoy the music section , which has no waste-my favorite is No motherland without you , although Do not ask my name is not bad, with that delicious touch of organ. Then there is this other , which features a bright and cheerful design and perhaps because of that, to me scares me even more.
North Korea is a very strange, that nevertheless can boast of national characteristics: can cool to be the most inaccessible country in the world (although lately they are opening his hand, to expand tourism), or you can go with my head high for having the only communist dynasty the world, and being the only country Communist paradoxically uses two different words for the term comrade : one for when you talk or you are referring to a superior in rank and another for a bottom. Its population is starving but the freak its leader spends about 25% of their meager GDP to military spending ( No. 22). Never mind that the world move and change, for better or for worse: they continue to roll, seeing only what they want to see ( 50 years and peak "takes longer). I think someone is ugly to accept 150,000 tons of food (100,000 in 2002 to 50,000 in 2003) and then call bandit, but it is only my opinion.
already told us the old master Chiun , "Korea is the most beautiful country on earth" . The Koreans, both north and south of the peninsula have suffered a lot over its history. Have been invaded and enslaved so many times that even surprised that today Koreans are living to go on Lost . We hope to find a peaceful solution and not have to suffer anymore.
