Korean housing information

Korean people mainly live in Jilin Province in the northeast of China, and mainly produce agriculture. Cattle is an important force in agricultural production, and the barn is essential in residential buildings. The plane of Korean houses is mostly four rooms, one of which is a cowshed and a straw shed, two of which have a kang room, and the other is a kitchen, which also burns kang. Koreans still keep the habit of sitting on the floor and lying on the floor. When they enter the house, they are on the kang. Fire-resistant kang is a flue made of masonry hovering under the living room floor, covered with wooden boards, painted with or pasted with Korean paper, and pasted with oily paper on the wall. When housewives cook in the kitchen, waste heat can also heat the floor of the room. The eaves gallery is outside the door, because you have to take off your shoes when you enter the house. The eaves gallery is where you put your shoes. In addition, Koreans love to eat sauerkraut, and the porch is also a place to put sauerkraut jars, and the porch is also a place to enjoy the cool in summer. The chimneys of Korean houses are mostly separated from the houses by a short distance and connected with the flue of underground kang. Chimneys with square sections are made of wooden boards. This is because the flue hovers for a long time, the smoke is not very hot when it reaches the chimney, and there is no danger of burning in the wooden chimney. The appearance of North Korean folk houses is Xieding Mountain, which is called "Sipo" locally. It used to be a grass roof paved with thick straw, but now it is mostly tiles. The two ends of the roof are obviously upturned and the eaves are upturned, but the slope of the roof is extremely gentle. Korean folk houses are the only ones in northern China that use the roof of the mountain to keep the floor, which shows the persistence of the influence of ancient traditional living culture. Korean people live in the northeast of China, and their national music is very rich, with distinct rhythm, complexity and regularity, and smooth and lyrical melody. It can also be directly used in dance and become a distinctive Korean dance music. The timbre and playing methods of Kaye Qin, piccolo, bam, Xiqin, drum flute and flute used in Korean music show the national characteristics of Korean people's singing and dancing.
