Residential Customs of the Korean Folk

Many houses are built in the ponytail style, which are conveniently located near water sources. The houses are built on wooden frames, with walls made of mud plastered with Raha plait and roofs sloped on all sides and covered with straw. Each room has four or five doors (also windows), indoor through the room for the kang, into the house to take off their shoes, sitting cross-legged. In the countryside, a big yellow cow is kept in the east end of the house, and an oxcart and a mortar and pestle for pounding rice are kept in the yard. In recent years, the Korean people have changed, the brick structure of the increasing number of homes, the national style of interior design is decreasing, everything to modernization.
