About Korean national games~~Specifics~~Emergency！！！！

At present, many traditional Korean games, such as bullfighting, cockfighting, stone fighting, ruler games, slamming nails, hitting the cradle, eight-way chess, chess against each other and so on have completely disappeared. At present, members of the Korean ethnic group in Yanbian area of Jilin, the elderly can still remember what they played when they were children, while the young people instead have a strong interest in modern games. According to relevant historical documents, in the early 20th century, Longjing, Tumen, Hunchun and other places in Yanbian had traditional games such as swing, wrestling and springboard; in the early 1960s, wrestling could be seen everywhere in the places where the Koreans lived. Nowadays, the original popularity and development of the better ethnic characteristics of the swing, springboard, tug-of-war, wrestling and other traditional games, more confined to large-scale games or festivals and holidays can be seen, ice plows, wind turbines, and other games, although occasionally seen, but has been in the situation of the disappearance of any time.

With the social development of the Korean people, many traditional games have lost their early social functions and have new cultural symbolism and cultural connotations. Originally very popular game activities also with the social structure and people's concept of survival changes gradually lose living space and gradually faded, or even completely disappeared, such as agricultural music game (also known as agricultural music dance, agricultural music song) is one of the most representative of the Korean folk games, in the form of dance art reflecting the agricultural production of Korean production and life style and emotions. In the past, members of the Korean ethnic group used to play this kind of nongnok game in order to create a festive atmosphere when they celebrated a good harvest, but nowadays, due to the changes in the way of production and life, the popularity of the game has gradually been lost. On the contrary, some games have been revitalized and strengthened in response to the demands of social development and the necessity of survival. For example, games such as rolling hoop and gyro, which had disappeared in the past few years, are now showing a trend of revival, and games such as hwatu, shuttlecock, rope skipping and kite flying are also very common. This is also a unique spreading feature of the ethnic culture. The skill of carrying water urns is a unique skill of Korean women, who used to be seen carrying water or other goods on their heads in Korean settlements. This traditional ethnic skill can still be seen in some games in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture.

Changes in the production, rules and playing rules of traditional games

With the development of society, some traditional sports games have seen new developments in the selection of production materials and the rules of the games, the recreation time and festivals, the staffing, and the way of playing. To springboard, for example, in the past in order not to make the springboard misplaced or detached from the cushion wood, often by a woman sitting horizontally in the middle of the springboard, and now it is fixed in the cushion wood with an iron axle to the springboard; swing in the past is often located in the river on the branches of the tall thick trees, and now, with the expansion of the scope of the competition and the development of the venue and other factors, most of them are located in the plaza or the school playground and so on, and most of them are used in the swing of the vertical racks. In the past commonly used thick wood, now generally use iron pipe, because the iron pipe set up and retrieve convenient; in the past, most of the paper flower picture plate by the current plastic to replace the color and brightness of the pattern is also more clear; kite material is not only limited to paper, there are a variety of silk fabrics, high-tech fabrics, etc. boldly used for the production of a more prominent air fall and color and other visual effects.

Nowadays, in our daily life, we often see traditional recreational facilities such as swings and springboards, which tend to be more leisure, reduce their technicality and danger, and highlight the improvement of recreation and safety, and the rules of the game have also had some new changes.

Some traditional games in the age structure and characteristics of the social recreation group also appeared new changes. For example, Huatu game has gradually shifted from a recreational activity enjoyed by both men and women of all ages in the past to an age profile dominated by the elderly group, and its gameplay has also varied with the age profile, and on the whole, the gameplay of the elderly group is relatively simpler and easier than that of the other adult strata. Nowadays kite flying is not only a recreational game for children, but has become a relaxing, playful and entertaining activity for young and middle-aged people and the elderly.

The types of games are getting richer and more diversified

The development of Korean games is getting more and more diversified. China's multi-ethnic *** with the survival of the cultural environment, so that the Korean people and other ethnic cultural exchanges in some games gradually become game types, such as poker, mahjong, goal ball, riddles, find the treasure game, idioms, proverbial games, hanging bottles of wine, mountaineering and so on. There are also various kinds of block toys, game corners, Yangge dance, etc., which have become the favorite game contents of Korean children. The development of Korean games shows a trend of mutual integration with the cultures of various ethnic groups and continuous updating and improvement. At the same time, many traditional Korean games have been accepted and absorbed by other ethnic groups to become multi-ethnic favorite games, some traditional games have also become our national games competitive events or performance projects, such as swing.

The introduction of new types of games from the Korean Peninsula has enriched the content of their own games. For example, the "four things of music" is a very typical new game, which is a game that was originally played in the field of agricultural music into the form of stage art. It is said to have been born in a space bookstore in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea, in February 1978, and was named because this new art form is composed of four people. When I interviewed Professor Nam Hee-chul of Yanbian University, I learned that "Four Things Music" was named by Mr. Shim Yu-sung, a famous Korean folklorist, and was introduced to Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin, China in the 1990s. The "Four Things" in "Four Things Music" refers to the four percussion instruments of the Korean people, such as the long drum, drum, gong and rub. According to the survey, the game of "Four Things Music" in Yanbian area of Jilin Province shows a trend of increasing popularity and enthusiasm, and has different social groups. Yanji City, for example, from the kindergarten class began to use physical objects instead of musical instruments for entertainment, to the older classes and preschools to use musical instruments; primary and secondary schools "four things music" has become a festival, celebrations and other activities must be performed programs. Yanbian University College of Arts has set up a special "Four Things Music" band, which has become the preferred program for all kinds of school activities. The "Four Things Music" is a new art form based on the unique art sense and appreciation of the Korean people and the Korean people's hardworking personality as a cultural symbol. At the time of the initial introduction of the "Four Things Music", Korea sent experts and scholars from professional art organizations to Yanbian to give free lectures and provide corresponding equipment. The introduction and acceptance of these new cultures, enriching the content of our Korean games, a new feature of the development of the game.

On the basis of the original game to create new types of games. Such as the top water dance is the Korean top water urn game artistic expression, often in some large-scale celebrations or folk activities. Yanji City, six kindergartens, new kindergartens and other five kindergartens, have opened the top of the water dance course, every year, "June 1" Children's Day, the top of the water dance performance.

The development of national culture is a dynamic process of constantly constructing new cultural structures and development patterns. The inheritance of traditional games of the Joseon people has been inseparable from the impact and influence of the cultures of various ethnic groups, and is characterized by outstanding historical and practical features. On the basis of continuous improvement of their traditional games, the Koreans have actively absorbed and accepted the excellent cultural essence of other ethnic groups, forming the cultural characteristic of "you have me and I have you". However, with the intensification of world integration and globalization, there are many practical problems and difficulties in the development of Korean traditional games, and some games are bound to face greater crises and challenges if they are not updated and adjusted in time. To solve these realistic conflicts and contradictions, it is necessary to set up the cultural survival concept of harmonious development of all ethnic groups*** together, adhere to the development concept and cognitive attitude of cultural relativism, and continuously improve and innovate the cultural structure of our ethnic group in order to adapt it to the needs of contemporary social and cultural development.
