Food

The food of any region is influenced by its natural environment, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province is no exception. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Jeju has a relatively thin layer of volcanic ash on the arable land, and there is almost no paddy field but only dry-field agriculture, which determines the traditional dietary life of Jeju, which has been changing a lot with the development of the economy after the 1970s. The following are some representative traditional Jeju foods.

Rice

Jeju's traditional rice is mixed grain rice. It is usually made with barley, millet, and red beans, and when there is a shortage of food, it is sometimes made with only barley or millet. In the spring, when there is a shortage of rice, people at the beach put seaweed in the rice to save food. In the past, due to the shortage of rice, the average family ate white rice only on major days such as New Year's festivals or marriage ceremonies.

Clothing

The traditional clothing of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province can be categorized into Gyeongseong-style and Jeju-style. The Gyeongseong style is the style of clothing worn by the upper class with official positions, while the Jeju style is the traditional style of clothing evolved by people who have lived in Jeju for a long time, adapting to Jeju's terroir and life. The upper class people wore clothes that were appropriate to their status to show off their authority and due to institutional regulations, while the general population wore clothes that were appropriate for farming, fishing, and other productive work, taking into account the local climate. This is the reason for the two different styles of Jeju clothing. Since there is no difference between the capital's style of dress and that of the rest of the country, we will only introduce the traditional Jeju clothing.

Children's clothing

Children's clothing is made of hemp and is worn from 3 to 7 days after birth. The sleeves are wide and long, the lapels are sewn with thread, and holes are made in the back to prevent the clothes from being soiled by urination and defecation. The clothes were worn by the first child and were passed down to younger siblings because they were thought to bring good luck. Hemp was used for toddler clothes, probably because, with its coarse texture, it could stimulate the skin to produce a strong immunity, thus preventing skin diseases.

Working clothes (persimmon dyed clothes)

These are the most representative working clothes of the Jeju area, as well as clothes worn by the general public in their daily lives. There is no clear historical record of when the people of Jeju first started to wear persimmon dyed clothes, but it is known that the people of Jeju, who were engaged in agriculture and fisheries, have been wearing these clothes since a long time ago. In order to make persimmon dyed clothes, cotton cloth is used to make the clothes, and then the clothes are dyed with green persimmon juice in the seventh and eighth months of the lunar calendar, and then dried in the sunlight to make the clothes. The characteristic of this kind of clothes is that since it is dyed with persimmon juice, it is often straight and does not need any other treatment; at the same time, persimmon juice has an antiseptic effect, and it is not easy for sweaty clothes to produce a strange odor, which makes it very suitable for use as work clothes.

Hai women's clothing

Hai women's clothing can be divided into three parts: top, bottom, head scarf, is made of cotton or hemp. The blouse is similar to the Hanbok women's blouse, which is worn when working underwater. The undergarment was originally a woman's undergarment, and was used as a work uniform by the women. The headscarf is a rectangular piece of cloth measuring 30 by 80 centimeters, which is tied around the head of the woman to prevent her hair from falling out while she is working.
