Traditional Korean architecture of Hanok

Han Tai is a traditional natural house in Korea, made of trees, mud, stones, straw, tiles and paper. During the construction, the orientation around the house, the relationship between land and seasons were considered, and the internal structure of the house was planned accordingly, and it was built with mountains and rivers as its back.

Generally speaking, houses in Korea can be divided into two types: tile houses where the ruling class lives and straw houses where the ruling class lives. The biggest feature that distinguishes these two types of houses is the roof, that is, the roof made of tiles or straw. At that time, ordinary people could not build tile houses. Although no one lives in straw houses now, there are still many Koreans living in tile houses.

Hanwu takes trees as the pillar and basic frame, and the rest is made of mud and grass as wall stones, then the ground is made of stone and mud, and Korean paper is pasted on the window frames and door frames made of trees to keep indoor lighting. The walls will be covered with Korean paper, and the ground will be covered with Korean paper.

The most unique and scientifically valuable structure in Han Tai is geothermal (warm kang, sudden temperature), which is a unique heating facility in Korea. South Korea's geothermal (heating kang) system, after the ground is heated, spreads to the whole ground, making the room warm and healthy. The ground buildings in Han Tai will be higher than the average ground. In order to save heating, the design of the room is not big. In addition, because of geothermal heat (warm kang), beds and chairs are not used, and the culture of' sitting' is adopted, which has continued to this day.

Although there are not many houses in Korea, some people are willing to choose Korean houses to live in. Places such as the Hanok Experience Hall also provide opportunities for people who want to experience Hanok. Representative places are Hanwu Village in Quanzhou, Huimin Village in Andonghe, Zhili Art Village, Shuiyatang, Linqing Pavilion and Leguzhai in Seoul. It can make people feel rich Korean traditional culture while experiencing Hanwu.
