When toasting at a banquet, you should hold the bottle in your right hand, rest the bottom of the bottle in your left hand, then bow and make a toast, and then pour the wine at the end, and do it three times in a row. The person making the toast should hold his or her glass a little lower and touch the other person's glass with the rim of his or her own glass. After the toast, one should bow again before leaving. When you are a guest, your host will not let you visit the whole house; don't wander around by yourself. When you are leaving, the host walks you to the door, or even to the door, and says goodbye.

When a junior or subordinate shakes hands with an elder or superior, after the latter extends his or her hand, the former shakes hands with his or her right hand and then places his or her left hand lightly on top of the latter's right hand. In Korea, women and children do not shake hands with men, and it is common for women to nod or bow. Instead of using honorifics and titles, it is rare to call a person by his or her first name. If the other party has a status title in society, Koreans will definitely use it more than once.

Folklore

One, family name and the concept of folks

Korean names are mostly three characters, and a few are two characters. The first character is the family name, the second and third characters are the first name, and one of the characters indicates the clan generation, which is usually attached to the man's name and is different for each generation, and can be placed in the position of the second or third character at will. According to the "Supplementary Documentary Record" at the end of the Lee Dynasty, there were 496 surnames in Korea, but in a survey in 1960, only 411 were found, of which the 10 largest were Kim (about 21.7%), Lee (about 14.8%), Park (about 8-5%), Choi, Jung, Kang, Cho, Yoon, Jang, and Lim. Most are single surnames, and a few are compound surnames, such as Xian Yu, Amamiya, Okada, and Hasegawa. The law stipulates that people with the same origin and surname cannot get married. If a marriage is forced without authorization, not only will the parents not recognize it, but also the authorities will not register the marriage. However, in recent years, there have been strong calls for this rule to be abolished.

Koreans have a very strong sense of "bloodline" and "local community," and have a well-developed network of kinship ties, even with distant relatives, who often meet and get acquainted with each other. Political relations are also influenced by the concept of locality, and voters generally support only candidates from their own districts. The strong sense of hometown also has some negative effects, such as the regional rivalry between Gyeongsangbuk-do and Jeolla-buk-do. More than a thousand years ago, Gyeongsang-do was the birthplace of the ancient Silla state, and Jeolla-do was the seat of the ancient Baekje state, which was later unified by Silla's destruction of Baekje. For historical reasons, most of those who have ruled Korea from ancient times to the present are from Gyeongsangdo, with four presidents, including Park Chung-hee, Kim Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, and Kim Young-sam, the great plutocrats Lee Byung-cheol (Samsung), Goo In-hyeop (Goldstar), and Kim Woo-jung (Dae-joong), and 70%-80% of the army's top generals originating from Gyeongsangdo. And Kim Dae-jung, the most famous leader of the opposition party, and Kim Ji-ha, a famous poet who opposed the dictatorship, all came from Jeolla-do. the 1980 Gwangju anti-government riots also took place in Jeolla-do. in front of them. In the family, men are superior to women, and men are in charge of the outside world, while women are in charge of the inside world; "good wives and good mothers" are advocated, and housework is almost exclusively done by women. Men and women over the age of seven are not allowed to sit together. In better-off families, most women do not work after marriage, and even if they do, their pay is lower than that of men. In recent years, the women's rights movement has developed, fighting for equality between men and women, equal pay for equal work, and demanding that the retirement age for female civil servants be changed from 43 to 50.

When drinking, people are seated according to their status and seniority, and the wine is poured in order. The person with the highest status raises his or her glass first, followed by the others. People with too big a difference in status cannot drink at the same table, and those with low status should drink with their backs to the table when they have to do so due to special circumstances. When clinking glasses with each other, the person with low status should touch the rim of the cup to the other's cup body, not flat touch, otherwise it is rude. When a person of low status needs to toast to a person of high status, he or she should ask for his or her consent, and when he or she goes up to make a toast, he or she should bow first, say some words of congratulations, hold the bottle in his or her right hand, and hold the bottom of the bottle in his or her left hand.

The soldiers and civilians in the castle fought to the death under the command of General Gonrue.
