한옥, Han Oak, Korean House : the traditional Korean house


the traditional Korean house form Although the Korean Peninsula has various characteristics that have evolved in line with the Korean Peninsula and the traditional eating-house lifestyle of Koreans, the wooden tile-roofed houses in the picture are also within the scope of hanok. In modern Korea, the number has decreased due to the influence of the Yangok, but the area continues to be established through temples and construction.

The word hanok itself is believed to have originated from the rapid spread of "Yangok" through the opening of the gate at the end of the Korean language and modernization after liberation, which, in contrast, is referred to as "hanok" by referring in detail to a house inhabited by a Korean people living on the Korean Peninsula from the perspective of foreigners. Due to the nature of the geographical features of the Korean Peninsula, the four seasons are clear, with the combination of winter-ready spheres and summer-ready floors as the biggest features. The house was called "Joseonok," which was originally called "Joseonok," and the house itself was a residential form, so it was called "Jeonsu House" as it is today just a house, and it would have been divided into just a tile-house and a house, as if it were an apartment or a house. The windows and squares that connect the columns of the front and the rear, respectively, in a straight line, the beams that connect the columns of the front and back, and the rafters and their supporting ditches are the key materials.


The hanok began with a blood transfusion structure, such as a stone-age house and a hut, and Mahan was said to have lived in a similar style even during the historical period. In other parts of the country, primitive hanok structures where the old buildings of Gaya were used began to emerge in the north, such as Manchuria.

Houses in the Three Kingdoms period are produced with artifacts such as earthenware and murals that can be inferred from the style of the house, and although most common people used to live in single-room houses, they have developed from the relatively wide modern standard of building several pillars to what they call a house.The cold north, like the Goguryeo Kingdom, was formed more open in the south, while the above sections were followed down and windows and doors were closed to prevent heat loss. Meanwhile, high-class houses such as royal palaces enjoyed living in what is now commonly thought of as roof tiles from China.

During the Silla and Goryeo Dynasties, a very luxurious house was built and lived with the fusion of aristocratic culture. At the end of the Silla Dynasty, the house was decorated with metal attachments such as brass and even covered it with gold. During the Goryeo Dynasty, it was popular to raise the Cheong Wa Dae (the Cheong Wa Dae roof) as the Goryeo celadon, which continued into the Joseon Dynasty. After excavating the palace for the restoration project, a large number of Cheong Wa Dae buildings were discovered and many of the buildings in Gyeongbokgung Palace were proved to have been Cheong Wa Dae buildings, as the records show. ( Among the palaces, Changdeokgung Palace is the only Cheong Wa Dae building that remains in Cheong Wa Dae.)
In particular, during this period, a very different style of hanok appeared, such as painting dancheong or building a platform on a pavilion and installing a railing. Along with the tradition of feng shui ideas, he followed the rules of architecture such as Bae San Im-su, and according to the ruins of the village during that time, Ondol became common. Of course, the lower class lived in a blood transfusion that was dug and built during this time.


During the Joseon Dynasty, the government pursued a more frugal housing style along with the tradition of Confucian culture, which was restrained from luxury, but there are many records that contradict the image of Joseon Dynasty, such as the use of celadon ware in palaces and houses with double-decker structures. In rural areas, there were houses made up of large groups of buildings that used space like hanok old houses, and in cities like Hanyang, a single building was broken down and broken down like Bukchon hanok, and the structure of the building was found in a picture of the horse. Japanese occupation, in particular the rigid, these Urban Traditional Housing in Seoul are full is filled with lots of pictures can see. However, as Seoul and the whole nation were destroyed during the Korean War after liberation, and traditional houses were replaced by new houses, such as the Saemaul Movement, the hanok remained in the form of housing of the past.
