Brief introduction of Korean traditional architecture

The art created by the Korean people has always had the same aesthetic concepts, themes, techniques and forms as neighboring China and Japan. However, they also formed their own unique style. Korean art rarely shows the grandeur and detachment of China art or the mature decorative consciousness of Japanese art. From the perspective of perfection and accuracy of skills, Korean artists are generally considered to be inferior to these two neighbors. The advantages of Korean artists mainly lie in simplicity, naturalness and respect for nature, which usually brings a sense of peace and tranquility. Architecture is an excellent example of this feature of Korean art. Buddhism is the main source of inspiration for many architectural masterpieces. In addition to Buddhism, China's philosophy of Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, Five Elements, Feng Shui, Taoism and Confucianism has the most obvious influence on Korean architecture. Koreans believe that life should live in harmony with nature, so they naturally accept these naturalistic philosophies and apply their own explanations of these philosophies to architectural planning and architectural site selection.
