The traditional dress of women is a coat and a wide skirt, which looks very loose; Men use pants, jackets, vests and vests to show their unique style. White is the basic color, and the material and color are different according to the season and identity. In special ceremonies such as marriage, ordinary people will also wear gorgeous clothes and jewelry. Hanbok, which has increased its practicality recently, is very popular. Types of Hanbok: Hanbok can be classified according to identity, function, gender, age, use and material. From the perspective of modern use, classification by use is the most representative.

Korean traditional food

Jiujieban-This dish has never been seen in Korean restaurants overseas, including China. It is an appetizer when eating a full set of Korean set meals in a more upscale restaurant. As shown in the picture below, in a big wooden food box, eight small dishes around are surrounded by a small dish in the middle, and a small cake made of rice flour is in the middle. The skin of dumplings is as thin as cicada's wings, almost transparent, and there are some complete pine nuts on a stack of cookies. There are all kinds of shredded vegetables and pork in eight small plates, which are brightly colored and beautifully matched and very delicate. Put one or two pieces of silk in each small dish, roll it up with cookies and add a pine nut in the middle, just like artistic creation, which feels very comfortable.

Douban soup-served in a big bowl of thick and hot stones. In the thick douban soup, there are a few small tofu, a few vegetables, peppers, and occasionally a few clams, which are very spicy and fragrant. After drinking, you are all sweaty. A bowl of such thick soup, some pickles and a bowl of rice is the lunch for office workers at noon. Watching Korean dramas, they also use it for breakfast. Koreans eat very little. A friend runs a law firm. At noon, he ate "one-pot cooking" similar to bean paste and Chili soup in a nearby restaurant, only with more fish pieces or sausages and instant noodles at last.

Ginseng chicken soup-choose a chicken of moderate size, cut it clean, add glutinous rice, ginseng, red dates and chestnuts, cook it for a few hours in advance, and then heat it in a stone pot when eating. Good ginseng chicken soup, the soup is fragrant, the chicken is tender and smooth, and the flesh and blood are separated. Many tourists in China know that the ginseng chicken soup in Myeongdong is very famous. The large-scale but low-quality one caters to tourists. The chicken soup is muddy, and the chicken is as old as chewing wood. I think it was my grandmother's before her death. Along with the soup came a small dish of salt and pepper and a dish of spicy radish. The salt and pepper were used to dip the chicken. Some restaurants also send a cup of ginseng soaked in wine, which burns in one bite. Koreans like to drink ginseng chicken soup in summer, saying that they will relieve the heat after drinking a lot of sweat, and then they will not sweat when they go out and walk in the street.

Blood sausage-chop pig viscera, mix with coarse vermicelli, and then pour into casing, such as sausage. When eating, it is steamed and sliced. The shiny vermicelli with dark minced meat has a dirty feeling. It stinks and tastes bad, but it is a good seasoning for Korean men. Many small restaurants have them, and supermarkets also sell steamed cuts.

Boiled sticky cakes-round strips made of rice flour. They are fried in restaurants or cooked with vegetables. They are so spicy that your nose runs. Boiled sticky cakes are common street snacks. The vendor set up a shed with plastic woven cloth, and a large metal flat tray was filled with a pot, which was red and hot, and a group of students were eating around with bamboo sticks. There is no food in the street, but it is cooked in Chili sauce.

Raw beef-a relatively high-grade food in Korean food. Generally, restaurants cut raw beef into strips, and when the dish comes up, it comes up with a ball covered with sesame oil and some with hot sauce. Beef is dark red and eaten in China. The high-grade one is eaten with a kind of Sydney, a Korean specialty. Very sweet pears are cut into thin strips-white and frozen beef are cut into thin strips of the same size-bright red. The two colors are mixed together to attract people's appetite. Frozen beef is crisp as a pear, which melts in the mouth, and it melts in the mouth without chewing beef. It's My Sweetie.

Sydney, a Korean specialty, is their favorite fruit. Rough skin, inedible, ugly, juicy and extremely sweet. After dinner, a side dish will be served when the restaurant checks out, and domestic and Korean restaurants often use carrots with the same color instead. It's sold separately in the shopping mall, about 2 dollars each, and 8,000 won for extra large ones. Koreans don't chew the whole fruit, but peel and cut it into pieces and eat it with toothpicks. Usually, the same is true at home. There is pure juice squeezed from Sydney, some of which are too sweet. Popular drinks include bottled rice juice-sweet rice soup, a daily drink of Koreans, which is similar to cola and tastes good. Bottled corn juice is better.

Korean customs and habits:

If you visit a Korean friend's house, you should understand Korean customs, such as: when pouring wine, holding the bottle in one hand and holding the arm in the other; For the host's respect for food, accept it once or twice for the first time and accept it for the third time; It is impolite to refuse to drink someone else's toast. If you can't drink it, there will be a little wine left in the cup. Koreans forgive drunken people; Can't eat the dishes on the plate very clean, otherwise it is disrespectful to the host; You can't smoke or wear sunglasses when your elders are present. Use both hands when accepting items, and don't open gifts in person. Koreans prefer odd numbers to even numbers. Gift money should be in a white gift bag, not a red one, and so on. As the saying goes, "it's not surprising to be polite to many people." Learn more about the characteristics of Koreans: coming to this city during the day will not give you any "amazing" feeling. There is no city skyline with high-rise buildings, and there are not many wide avenues. Most buildings are old-fashioned in appearance and monotonous in color. Commercial streets are narrow and crowded, not as grand as Beijing and not as modern as Shanghai. It is hard to believe that this is Seoul, which has created two economic miracles and constantly exported "fashion" to Asia. But at night, as if by magic, the city suddenly released its brilliance. There is no need for the so-called "night scene project". Only by relying on real neon lights, residential lights, street lights and car lights will Seoul become bright and full of vitality. Go deep into every corner of this city that never sleeps, and you will find that the pragmatic management principle is its highest belief. Climate in Korea: As far as precipitation is concerned, the weather in Korea belongs to continental climate and monsoon climate. The climate in Korea is characterized by four distinct seasons. Spring lasts from March to May. The climate is warm and flowers are everywhere. This is a good place for outdoor travel. Summer lasts from June to September, and it is hot and humid. Many Koreans choose to spend their holidays in this season. Autumn lasts from September to165438+1October. The weather is mild and autumn scenery likes it very much. This is a good season for traveling. Winter lasts from 65438+February to mid-March, and it is very cold under the influence of Siberian cold air. The snowstorm in northeast Korea provides the best conditions for skiing.

Japan

Kimono is the name of traditional Japanese national costume. It is also called "persistence" in Japan. Kimono is modeled after the clothes of Sui, Tang and Wu in China, so it is called "Kimono of Mary Ng" and "Tang suit" in Japan. Kimono is the western name of Wu's clothing. Now the Japanese have accepted this name, but many shops selling kimonos still write "Wu's clothing". In the 8th and 9th centuries, Tang Feng was once popular in Japan. Although it changed later and formed a unique Japanese style, it still contains some characteristics of ancient Chinese clothing. The different styles and colors of women's kimonos are the signs that distinguish age and marriage.

Japanese food

Generally, westerners think that the only food in Japan is beef chafing dish or odd-looking sushi. In recent years, many tourists in Japan also know how to taste fresh fish and sauteed shrimp. The main course in Japan is fish. "Sashimi" is a unique delicacy in Japan, and raw food is also a very healthy way to eat, which can reduce the loss of nutrients in fish more than cooking. The methods of Japanese cooking fish are mostly low-temperature cooking and steaming.

[Edit this paragraph] Customs and habits

Greetings between Japanese people are basically expressed by bowing. When standing, put your feet together, stand up straight and bow your head. From general salute to upper body to 90-degree bow. According to the degree of etiquette, the angle of bow is varied. In a room covered with "tatami", you must sit down and salute.

Wave: Let go of your palm gently and swing your wrist back and forth several times from front to side. This method can be used regardless of gender and age. But it is impolite to wave to people with high status and deep qualifications, and we should try our best to avoid it.

Self: it means "that's me" and "is it me?" When waiting for meaning, the index finger points to the nose.

Long live: this is a gesture of raising your hand to show your happiness when you win a game or encounter good luck. In most cases, everyone cheers three times at the same time to express congratulations on luck and wishes for happiness.

Address: When addressing Japanese people, you can call them "Mr.", "Miss" and "Madam", or you can add the word "Jun" after the surname or first name and call them "XXX". Only on very formal occasions do you need to use your full name when addressing Japanese people.

Japanese men love to dress up: Japanese men have always appeared as big men. Nowadays, there is a new trend in Japanese society. Walking on the streets of Japan, you will see more and more feminine men. Its appearance and behavior stunned a stranger.
