Lang.

Korean and Korean are the same language. About 75.6 million people in the world use Korean, which is the world's 13 largest language. With the continuous improvement of Korea's political and economic status in the international society, the number of people learning Korean is also increasing. In the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries, Korean can be used as a foreign language in the college entrance examination.

Internationally, most scholars believe that Korean belongs to Altaic language family. The statement of Altaic language family already included Korean (Korean) when it was put forward. Few mathematicians think that Korean is an isolated language because there are few cognates between Korean and other Altaic languages, but this is not the mainstream view in international academic circles. Korean has the phenomenon of vowel harmony and belongs to sticky language. Korean expresses grammatical relations through complex auxiliary words and suffix changes attached to words. The order of sentence structure in Korean is subject-object predicate sentence.

Korean is phonetic, and every word can be spelled according to its composition. There is no separate phonetic system. Korean * * * has 40 letters, including 2/kloc-0 vowels and 19 consonants. Vowels are divided into monosyllables (10) and diphthongs (1 1). Vowels are the center of Korean syllables, and consonants can only be combined with vowels to form words.

Korean vocabulary can be divided into three types: inherent words, Chinese characters and foreign words. Inherent words are inherent words handed down by the Korean people since ancient times and are the core part of Korean vocabulary. Most everyday Korean words are inherent words. Most Chinese characters are derived from Chinese. The pronunciation of Chinese characters follows the pronunciation rules of Korean, which can be trained and read. Most of the meanings are the same as those in Chinese, but there are some differences. Chinese characters account for more than half of Korean vocabulary in number. Loanwords refer to words borrowed from other countries except China, which are more common in English.

Before15th century, Chinese characters were used as writing tools in Korea. Because Korean and Chinese are completely different language families, it is not easy to record Korean with Chinese characters. In addition, ordinary people do not know Chinese characters, which is not conducive to cultural exchange and development. In order to solve the problem of Korean characters, King Sejong of the Korean dynasty organized a group of scholars and created a writing system suitable for marking Korean pronunciation-Korean characters. At that time, these words were called "training people to correct pronunciation", which meant "teaching people to correct pronunciation". The invention of Korean promoted the political, economic and cultural development of Korea, and King Sejong was also loved by later generations. The Korean script created by King Sejong is recognized as one of the most practical phonography in the world, and its scientific nature has been highly praised by the experts in writing research.

According to the geographical distribution, Korean dialects can be divided into seven types: Northwest Dialect, Northeast Dialect, Central Dialect, Southwest Dialect, Southeast Dialect, Jeju Island Dialect and Jin Ryu Dialect. Except Jeju Island dialect, other dialects can communicate with each other. At present, the "standard language" in South Korea is based on Seoul dialect, a central dialect. Since Seoul is the capital of the Korean dynasty, this "standard language" is closer to the official language before the division of the Korean peninsula.

prescribe a diet

cold noodles with sauce

Korean diet is mainly light and less greasy. Rice is the most common staple food for Koreans. Bibimbap, kimbap, Korean fried rice cake and spicy cabbage fried rice are all common diets in Korean national diet. Beef is the most expensive meat in Korea. Korean beef is called Han Niu. Han Niu is the most expensive beef in Korea, and it is also a fine gift. Pork and chicken are very cheap in Korea. South Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so seafood is also an important staple food for Koreans. Cold noodles, soup tonic and dog meat are also representative foods of Korean people, but the consumption of dog meat by Koreans is far lower than other meats. Because Koreans love peace, pigeons symbolizing peace are forbidden to eat in Korea.

Different from other food cultures, soup is not a side dish before or after meals in Korean national diet, but

Korean food

Eating with the staple food is the main course. Soup in Korean diet usually contains meat or seafood. Common soups include Ginseng Chicken Soup, Miso Soup, Xiannong Soup, jiaozi Soup, Pickle Pot, Pure Bean Curd Soup and Seaweed Soup. In Korean cuisine, the side dish eaten with rice is called "Fanzhuan", and there are many methods, such as barbecue, frying, steaming, stewing and soaking. And the food you drink is called drinking to drown your sorrows.

Kimchi is an important part of Korean diet, but because kimchi is mainly pickled, it can't be literally understood as a "soaked" dish. Therefore, through transliteration of Chinese characters, kimchi was established as a new vocabulary-Qi Xin. There are many kinds of kimchi, and there are different kinds in different parts of Korea. Koreans also eat different pickles in different seasons. Because kimchi is low in calories, rich in cellulose, vitamins and a kind of lactic acid bacteria beneficial to human body, Korean kimchi is rated as one of the five healthiest foods in the world by Health magazine of time warner Inc. Company.

The common noodles in Korean diet are cold noodles, bone noodles and miscellaneous vegetables. Representative dessert snacks in Korea include cakes and Korean cakes.

Korean table manners are different from those in China, Japan and Viet Nam, so don't accept any bowl of rice bowl soup. Koreans eat and drink soup with metal long-handled spoons. Korean chopsticks are flat metal chopsticks, which are only used to hold vegetables instead of rice. Placement of tableware is also very important. That bowl of rice should be placed on the far left, followed by spoons and chopsticks. Hot food should be placed on the right side of the table and cold food on the left. Soup and stew should be placed on everyone's right. Vegetables should be placed on the left side with rice. Pickles should be put in the back and sauces should be put in the front. Young people should not pick up chopsticks to eat in front of elders or guests, nor should they finish eating in front of elders or guests. Koreans should not face their elders when drinking, and should cover their mouths. It is considered impolite for people of different generations to drink face to face. Besides, guests should not refuse the first glass of wine offered by the host. On most formal occasions, guests will refuse the toast of their elders or hosts twice. If the other person makes a toast for the third time, the guest should finally accept it. If the guest refuses three times in a row, the host will not propose a toast again.

There are many famous Korean dishes, such as fairy furnace, Bushen soup (also known as Bushen furnace, dog hot pot), cold noodles, cakes, pickles and so on. In addition, there are Korean dishes such as beef and radish with sauce, iron pot tenderloin and sashimi.

education

The Korean people attached great importance to education and established many schools as early as the early 1930s. There is a good tradition of "chewing bark rather than letting children go to school". After liberation, non-governmental organizations such as "parents' meeting" and "board of directors" were established in various places, and hundreds of primary and secondary schools were set up with self-raised funds and materials.

Yanbian University, a comprehensive minority university, was founded in Yanji, 1949. Later, more than a dozen secondary specialized schools and more than 0/000 primary and secondary schools such as Yanbian Medical College, Yanbian Institute of Technology, Yanbian Agricultural College, Yanbian Education School (later merged into the new Yanbian University) and Yanbian Art School were successively established.

Yanbian No.1 Middle School is a national key high school. Educational networks at all levels have been formed. All kinds of colleges and universities have trained generations of Korean high and middle-level intellectuals, all over the central government, provinces and Korean fronts. Various adult education schools have also been established in Yanbian area. Various scientific research groups such as agriculture, forestry, literature, history and teaching have made important contributions to the development of Yanbian.

Korea Korea University

Koreans are a nation that attaches great importance to education. There are thousands of colleges and universities in Korea. National Seoul National University is a comprehensive university, ranking 4th among 20 13QS Asian universities. Yonsei University and Korea University are also known as South Korea's S.K.Y (meaning to support higher education in South Korea). In addition, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Pohang University of Technology also enjoy a high reputation internationally.

Education is called the second economy to promote the economic development of Korea. In the early 1970s, South Korea formulated the development strategy of "building the country through education and rejuvenating the country through science and technology" and implemented the policy of "consolidating compulsory primary education, popularizing secondary education, improving higher education and strengthening vocational and technical education". From 1966 to 1995, South Korea achieved a leap from 5% to 15% and then to 50% in two years, making higher education popular and becoming the fastest developing country in the world. 1996 and in 2006, South Korea launched "Korean Brain 2 1" and "World-class University Plan" to further improve higher education. 20/kloc-in may/April, in the survey of "global education power" conducted by Pearson, Korea ranked first in the world.

Medical science

Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine and Indian traditional medicine. Its treatment methods and skills basically belong to the category of traditional Chinese medicine. During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, North Korean doctors began to form their own system. Developed "four-image medicine". During the Korean dynasty, Korean medicine developed rapidly. The medical work Treasure of Oriental Medicine was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by the 9th International Advisory Committee on World Heritage Records.

As a traditional medicine in Korea, Korean medicine has always been an important medical means to relieve people's suffering, and herbal medicine has been widely recognized and trusted in Korea. Especially with the development of economy, more and more people pursue health and longevity, and the demand for traditional medicine also increases. So in the past ten years, Korean doctors have developed rapidly. According to statistics, there were 30 15 Korean doctors practicing in 1980, and the number of Korean doctors increased to 3,789 in 1985, which has increased to more than 5,000. The number of medical schools in Korea has also increased from 5 in 1986 to 10, and the trained talents are very popular. In particular, famous medical schools in Korea, such as Korean Medical College of Kyung Hee University, have trained students who are highly valued by the society. There are more than 3,600 hospitals and clinics in North Korea all over the country, including more than 20 well-equipped hospitals, such as those set up by North Korea Medical University in Lili and Quan Quan, and the affiliated North Korea Medical Hospital set up by North Korea Medical University of Kyung Hee University in Seoul. In addition, medical research in Korea has a considerable scale and level. The main topics of clinical and basic research are diseases that are difficult to treat (such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, hepatitis, etc.). ), the essence and comprehensive study of meridians, acupoint selection in experimental animals, acupuncture anesthesia and analgesia, etc. In particular, the basic research of four-image medicine is quite distinctive. Although Korean medicine has developed rapidly, the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (Ministry of Health) still adopts the policy of "allowing" Korean medicine, but the leaders of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs and health administrative institutions at all levels are all western doctors, so there is a trend of "restricting". For example, in 199 1 year, South Korea was prepared to put forward a "unification" policy, that is, it was necessary to study Korean medicine after having the qualification of western medicine, so as to "unify" western medicine and Korean medicine, which was essentially to gradually abolish Korean medicine. Most Korean doctors are very uneasy about this and propose to the government to change this plan, with the Korean Medical Association as the main body.

Korean medicine is a traditional medical system developed by Korean people in China on the basis of their inherent culture, absorbing the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and combining their own experience in preventing and treating diseases. Korean doctor or Korean doctor for short.
