Korean literature developed under the influence of traditional folk beliefs as well as Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It is often divided into classical and modern periods, though this is questioned due to reforms in the 19th century and Western influence. Key genres include Hyangga poetry from the classical period as well as sijo poetry and Joseon period poetry from the later period when Hangul was promoted. Translations of Korean literature to other languages have increased its global visibility since the 1980s.Korean literature

The document provides an overview of Korean literature from early oral traditions through modern times. It discusses the influences of Shamanism, Buddhism, and Confucianism on early Korean literature. The hyangga poems of the Shilla period marked the beginning of a unique poetic form. During the Koryo dynasty, hanshi poems and shijo poems developed. The creation of the Korean alphabet in the 15th century allowed literature to broaden beyond the upper classes. Oral traditions like mask plays and pansori singing texts were important before the modern period which began with literary magazines in the 1910s-1930s under Japanese colonial rule.South korea

Korea is a peninsula located in East Asia that is divided into two sovereign states - North Korea and South Korea. The name "Korea" comes from the name of the Korean kingdom of Goryeo which ruled the peninsula in the Middle Ages. In South Korea, the whole peninsula is referred to as Hanguk, while in North Korea it is referred to as Chosn. Korea has a long history and was once divided into three kingdoms during the 1st century AD. In the late 14th century, the Joseon Dynasty united much of Korea and established Seoul as the capital. Korea was then occupied by Japan in the early 20th century and divided after World War 2, leading toKorean literaturehistoryseoul

Korean literature has been heavily influenced over the centuries by shamanism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Christianity. The early classics were primarily oral and poetic in form due to the lack of a written script, with genres including hyangga poems, pansori narrative songs, and sijo poems. The invention of the Korean alphabet hangul in 1446 helped literature become more widely accessible. Modern Korean literature has explored issues of national identity, the trauma of Japanese colonial rule, and the division of the Korean peninsula following World War 2. Contemporary writers increasingly engage with global themes rather than focusing solely on national concerns.Masterpieces of korean literature

Chinese rule lasted until the 7th century AD when three independent kingdoms arose in Korea. Korea became a united nation for the first time under Wang Kien, a Korean patriot, who led a revolution in 918 and destroyed the Silla rule in 935. Wang named the country Koryu from which its present name was derived. His descendants ruled until 1392. After a brief invasion by the Mongols,Korea was ruledby the Yi Dynasty (1392-1910) which established the capital at Seoul, introduced Chinese ways, and proclaimed Confucianism as the state religion. The first century of the Yi era was Koreas Golden Age of civilization. Koreans invented printing, a phonetic alphabet, fostered literature and scholarships, and granted education to the masses.
- 7. The Tangun Myth CREATION MYTH
- 8. The story goes that a Heavenly Prince, Hwangun looked down at earth and desired to possess it and rule over mankind. His father, the Ruler of Heaven, Hwanin knew that his son would bring happiness to human beings and, looking at the earth, chose Mount Taebak as a suitable place for his son to go to earth. Hwangun arrives beneath a sandalwood tree where he creates a holy city. He brings with him three heavenly seals, somewhat mysterious in nature, and 3000 loyal subjects from heaven, which are possibly spirits. In addition, Hwangun brought three ministers, the Earl of Wind, the Master of Rain, and the Master of Clouds. Different accounts of the myth tell that Hwangun either taught or took charge of 360 areas of responsibility, like agriculture and medicine. The story moves now to a bear and a tiger, both desiring to become human beings. Set the task of shunning sunlight and eating only the food given to them by Hwangun (some mugwort and twenty cloves of garlic), the bear succeeds in earning Hwanguns approval while the tiger fails to fast, fleeing into the forest. The bear becomes a beautiful woman, Ungyo (bear woman) and becomes the wife of Hwangun. Their son is Tangun, the King of Sandalwood. Tangun becomes the first king of Korea, calling his country choson and ruling for 1500 years. After this time he retreats to Taebak-san to become a mountain god.

- 18. YUN SON-DO He was born in Seoul, in what is now South Korea. He achieved early success as a government official, but his straightforward character made enemies at court and he was banished for imprudent criticism of those in power. Thirteen years later he returned to become tutor to the royal princes but was later banished again. He spent most of his 85 years in his rustic country home, contemplating the nature of life, teaching and writing poetry. Yun is considered the greatest master in the history of Korean literature.His most famous composition is The Fisherman's Calendar a cycle of forty seasonal sijo. In both Chinese and Korean classical poetry, the fisherman symbolized a wise man who lives simply and naturally. In art, the fisherman appeared almost invariably in one of the most common genres of Asian water colors: sets of four paintings, one for each season of the year. Yun Seondo wove both traditions into The Fisherman's Calendar. It is the longest and most ambitious sijo cycle attempted during the classical period
- 19. YUN TU-SO (b Haenam, South Cholla Province, 20 May 1668; d Haenam, 26 Dec 1715). His eclectic output bridged the transition between painting of the mid-Choson and late Choson periods. Learned in Confucian classics, military strategy, geography and astronomy, he passed the initial state examination (chinsa) in 1693 but returned to Haenam in 1713 without acquiring office. He was aligned with the out- of-power Southerners (Namin), advocates of sirhak (practical learning) and sohak (Western learning). He studied calligraphy with Yi So (16621723) and painted as a hobby.
