Korean climate

South Korea's climate background: South Korea is located in the northeast of the Asian continent, belonging to a temperate maritime climate: four distinct seasons, short spring and autumn, clear skies in Wan Li, sunny weather and mild and pleasant climate; Summer is hot, humid and rainy; Winter is cold, dry and snowy.

The seasonal temperature difference in Korea is very large. The hottest August, the average temperature is 19 ~ 27℃. The maximum temperature in Leng Yue is 65438+ 10 month, and the average temperature is -8 ~ 6℃. The annual average rainfall is 1 0,000 ~10,700 mm, and the average temperature is 6 ~ 16℃.

It is often windy and rainy in early spring, and the strong wind brings "yellow dust", and the weather changes are sometimes unpredictable. But by mid-April, the weather was getting warmer and flowers were everywhere. Korean farmers level their rice fields and plant rice at this time of year.

The rainy season is from June to August, and the rainfall accounts for half of the annual rainfall. July and August are hot and humid summers. During this period, most Koreans go to the mountains or coastal areas for summer vacation.

In autumn, the air is fresh, the sky is blue and the scenery is pleasant. The countryside is full of colorful colors. Autumn is the harvest season, and there are many festivals that originated from ancient farming customs.

One. Seoul has a temperate monsoon climate, and the monthly average temperature is as follows:

Busan is a subtropical monsoon, and the average temperature in each month is as follows:

For thousands of years, South Korea has maintained close relations with China, especially China, the birthplace of Asian culture, which has exerted a great influence on South Korea. With China playing an increasingly important role on the world stage, the two countries have resumed their previous close relations. Under such circumstances, I think it is very meaningful to give a speech on "Korea and Korean customs" to China students who are learning Korean and those who want to know about Korea.

China is a vast country with countless mountains and rivers and endless plain scenery, which are spectacular scenery that can only be seen in China. The climate in China is diverse, including not only the cold climate in the north, but also the subtropical climate in the south.

In contrast, South Korea, which extends from the northeast of Chinese mainland from north to south, is a peninsula country, and its land area is only 65,438+0/50 that of China. This peninsula is called the Korean Peninsula, bordering northeast China in the northwest and facing Japan across the sea in the southeast. South Korea has four distinct seasons and basically belongs to temperate climate type. The climate in northern China belongs to continental monsoon climate, and the temperature difference between winter and summer is quite large. The farther south, the warmer and more comfortable the climate is.

South Korea is a country with only a single Korean nation. The history of the Korean nation establishing its homeland on the Korean peninsula can be traced back more than 5,000 years, and 19 10 was a country under colonial rule. 1945 After liberation from Japanese colonial rule, South Korea actively exploited resources and devoted itself to economic development, becoming an important country in the Pacific Rim era. 199 1 year, South Korea and North Korea joined the United Nations. Although the Korean nation has not yet achieved national reunification, the two sides are actively engaged in dialogue and exchanges. Especially during the Busan Asian Games, which started on September 29th this year, many Korean cheerleaders visited Busan to cheer for the players from both countries.

Chinese is the most widely used language in the world. At present, many foreigners choose to learn Chinese when learning a foreign language. Although there are not as many people learning Korean as Chinese, many people learn Korean as their mother tongue, and more and more people choose Korean when learning foreign languages. Like you, there are many students studying Korean.

The language used by Koreans is called "Korean G ǔ 1". Han g 1 is a kind of phonography created by King Sejong of the Li Dynasty, his ministers and scholars on 1443. It consists of 10 original letters and 14 consonants. The composition of Korean letters makes people feel a little complicated, but it is easy to learn to write.

1) traditional folk houses

Because the four seasons in Korea change obviously, traditional houses in Korea are designed and built to adapt to such different climatic conditions. The houses designed by Korean ancestors all face south, so that they can keep out the cold and fully accept the sun in winter. The ground in the house is a floor heating system, which transports hot air through the underground flue to provide heating. The house is warm in winter, with wooden floors on the ground and cool in summer. This residential structure is very suitable for the warm summer climate in Korea.

There is a certain space and courtyard on the periphery of all houses. Courtyard plays a good role in lighting and airflow in the house, and sometimes it can be used well when major events occur at home.

2) clothing

The style of traditional Korean clothing "Hanbok" is suitable for the climatic conditions and cultural traditions of South Korea. Hanbok shows the characteristics of Korean conservative culture. Although it is slightly impractical, the beauty of Hanbok is fully reflected in the simple design, the harmony of lines and the coordination of colors of upper and lower clothes. In particular, the colors and styles of women's tops and skirts are extremely beautiful, and the long, loose and elegant straight lines are in harmony with the soft, round and isolated lines, showing the sense of fullness and beauty of Koreans.

3) Diet

Rice is the staple food of Koreans. Usually, the daily meals are mainly rice, soup and several side dishes, which are generally called 7-course dining table.

The most representative diet in Korea is kimchi. Kimchi is made from pickled cabbage fermented with seasoning. Because of its easy storage, good taste and rich nutrition, it has attracted the attention and favor of the world.

Besides, barbecue is a favorite dish of many foreigners, because it is not as exciting and slightly sweet as other diets. Red pepper is an important seasoning in Korean diet, mainly spicy and salty. It is also one of the ancient eating traditions for the whole family to sit around for dinner. Everyone has his own rice bowl and soup bowl, and other dishes are placed in the center of the table for everyone to enjoy.

4) Family life

The traditional Korean family is usually a big family composed of several generations living together. In the past, the extended family system came into being because the traditional farming society needed a lot of labor. With the modernization of society, this kind of big family is gradually disappearing and tends to be a small family.

In Korean families, the parents of the head of the family are usually symbols of authority. Parents teach family precepts, while others obey their parents' authority.

Obedience to elders is regarded as a praiseworthy virtue. Influenced by Confucianism, this etiquette has always dominated Korean life and way of thinking. Men are given the responsibility of supporting and protecting their families and the right to give orders. With the modernization of social life and the strengthening of the consciousness of equality between men and women, this traditional way of life in Korea is changing rapidly.

199 1 The revised family law establishes equal property rights for men and women, and stipulates for the first time the right to choose property rights and the right to care for children of divorced women. Nowadays, the younger generation lives independently and adapts to the ever-changing moral values and social environment.

5) Name

Korean names are basically composed of three Chinese characters, pronounced with three syllables in Korean. The first word is the surname, and the last two words are the first name. A word in a name usually represents a generation, which is somewhat similar to that of China.

But in recent years, more and more Koreans have been unable to name their children in Korean written in Chinese characters.

There are about 300 surnames in Korea, among which the most common ones are Jin, Li, Park, Cui, Zhang, Zhao, Zheng, Han, Jiang, Liu and Yin.

Korean women do not change their surnames after marriage. Koreans generally don't call each other by their first names unless they are very close friends. Between brothers and sisters, the young should be called elder sister or elder brother, and should not be called by their first names.

Like China, there are many traditional festivals in Korea. Among them, the three biggest festivals are Nian (the first day of the first lunar month, which is called Spring Festival in China), Dragon Boat Festival (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month) and Mid-Autumn Festival (the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, which is called Mid-Autumn Festival in China). Various folk games are held during the festival, among which the typical games are: dice throwing and springboard (called Spring Festival in China) at the beginning of the year, swinging on the Dragon Boat Festival, dancing and wrestling in autumn.

Just like the Spring Festival, the biggest festival in China, the first day of the New Year is also regarded as the biggest festival in South Korea. The Korean pronunciation (SUL) at the beginning of the year comes from a pronunciation syllable, meaning "unfamiliar", which means unfamiliar with the New Year.

At the beginning of the year, folk games played dice like this. It is a game that determines the advance and retreat of chess pieces on the chessboard according to the different combination points formed after four sticks are thrown into the air and landed. Each team has four pieces, and each team chooses a captain to play chess. Whoever finishes four dollars first wins. Springboard, or seesaw, is one of women's favorite games. A long flat board is supported on the middle bracket, and two people are separated at both ends of the board. One of them jumped directly from the board, while the other jumped into the air by rebound force when it landed on the board. It is said that this game originated in the late Koryo period, in order to let the girls who were kept at home by the ethical code have a chance to see the scene outside the wall.

Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is also called Duanyang Festival or Yuanzhong Festival. It refers to "the beginning", that is, "the first day", which is connected with "the fifth day" at noon. It is the day with the most abundant sunshine in a year, so it is regarded as one of the biggest festivals, and various activities are held all over the country on this day.

The most representative game of Dragon Boat Festival is swinging, which is a game that women are willing to play since the end of Korea. Swings are usually hung on tall trees or specially buried on swing racks in high places. Hang the bell high in front of the swing, and the number of times you kick the bell determines the outcome.

Autumn night, that is, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, is also called Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, the whole family get together. Put on new clothes, make wine, muffins and rice with newly harvested rice, offer sacrifices to ancestors, thank them for their harvest, and hold grave-sweeping. Various entertainment activities are held in autumn and evening. Women in the village gather in the open space at the head of the village and dance "The Moon Comes from the River" in the bright moonlight. They are holding hands, forming a circle, singing "Jiang Jiang Yue Lai" and turning around.

Wrestling is a traditional folk game in Korea. Participants grab each other's belts, push each other down or fall, and make any part of their bodies touch the ground except their feet to win. The winner was awarded the title of "Hercules" with prizes such as cloth, rice and cattle.

Korean art advocates nature, and its simplicity and elegance can be seen in paintings and ceramic products. After Silla unified the Three Kingdoms, the Buddha sculpture appeared in its heyday. Seokguram, built near Gyeongju in the middle of the 8th century, is one of the oldest and most exquisite stone carvings in the world.

Various bronzes in the Bronze Age, including knives and bells, proved that the metal technology of ancient Korea reached a fairly high level. The bronze clock in Silla period is famous for its elegant design and loud sound.

Korean ceramic art reached its peak during the Korean dynasty, and was usually decorated with "four gentlemen" (plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum).

Korean music can be divided into folk music, western music and eastern and western music.

Among Korean traditional dances, the court dance (crane dance and sword dance) is the most representative, and now modern dance (ballet) has become the mainstream.
