Pak Tu-jin
Pak Dujin (, 10 March 1916 – 16 September 1998) was a Korean poet. A voluminous writer of nature poetry, Pak Dujin is chiefly notable for the way he turned his subjects into symbols of the newly emerging national situation of Korea in the second half of the 20th century. Life Pak Dujin was born in Anseong, 40 miles from Seoul in modern-day South Korea, an area to which he often refers nostalgically in his poetry. His family was too poor to give him any formal education, but two early poems of his appeared in the publication ''Munjang'' (''Literary Composition'') in 1939. After Korea's liberation from Imperial Japanese rule, Pak created the Korean Young Writers' Association alongside Kim Dongni, Cho Yeonhyeon, and Seo Jeongju. At that time he shared a first collection of poetry with fellow poets Park Mok-wol and Cho Chi-hun. This was the Blue Deer Anthology (''Cheongnokjip'', 1946), which was followed by individual collections of his own, ''Hae'' (''The Sun'', 1949), ''Odo'' ...

Park (Korean Name)
Park or Bak (, ), is the third-most-common surname in Korea, traditionally traced back to 1st century King Hyeokgeose Park () and theoretically inclusive of all of his descendants. ''Park'' or '' Bak'' is usually assumed to come from the Korean noun ''Bak'' (), meaning "gourd". As of the South Korean census of 2015, there were 4,192,074 people with the name in South Korea, or roughly 8.4% of the population. Founding legend All the Park clans in Korea trace their ancestry back to the first king of Silla, Hyeokgeose. According to a legend, the leaders of the six clans of the Jinhan confederacy were gathering on a hilltop to choose a king, when they looked down and saw lightning strike at the foot of the Yangsan mountain and a white horse bow at the same place. When they went there to check, they found a red egg, which hatched a baby boy. They bathed the boy in the nearby stream and he was emitting bright light and the sun and the moon rose at the same time, indicating the divi ...

Korean Literature
Korean literature is the body of literature produced by Koreans, mostly in the Korean language and sometimes in Classical Chinese. For much of Korea's 1,500 years of literary history, it was written in Hanja. It is commonly divided into classical and modern periods, although this distinction is sometimes unclear. Korea is home to the world's first metal and copper type, the world's earliest known printed document and the world's first featural script. Korean literature Classical Korean literature has its roots in traditional folk beliefs and folk tales of the Korean peninsula. There are four major traditional poetic forms: hyangga ("native songs"); byeolgok ("special songs"), or changga ("long poems"); sijo ("current melodies"); and gasa ("verses"). Other poetic forms that flourished briefly include the kyonggi-style, in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the akchang ("words for songs") in the 15th century. The most representative akchang is Yongbi och'on ka (1445–47; Songs of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Korean Poetry
Korean poetry is poetry performed or written in the Korean language or by Korean people. Traditional Korean poetry is often sung in performance. Until the 20th century, much of Korean poetry was written in Hanja and later Hangul. History The performance of oral songs in the religious life of the ancient Korean people is vividly recorded in Chinese dynastic histories. At state assemblies the chief ritualist would tell the story of the divine origin of the founder, as evinced by foundation myths, and his extraordinary deeds in war and peace. Recited narrative was interspersed with primal songs that not only welcomed, entertained, and sent off gods and spirits. Thus orality and performance were significant features of vernacular poetry in ancient Korea. A famous surviving example dates to 17 BC, Yuri's '' Song of the Yellow Bird'' (Hwangjoga, 황조가/黃鳥歌), written to lament the departure of his Chinese concubine Chihui. Some later Korean poetry followed the style of Tang l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward W
Edward is an English given name. It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon name ''Ēadweard'', composed of the elements '' ēad'' "wealth, fortune; prosperous" and '' weard'' "guardian, protector”. History The name Edward was very popular in Anglo-Saxon England, but the rule of the Norman and Plantagenet dynasties had effectively ended its use amongst the upper classes. The popularity of the name was revived when Henry III named his firstborn son, the future Edward I, as part of his efforts to promote a cult around Edward the Confessor, for whom Henry had a deep admiration. Variant forms The name has been adopted in the Iberian peninsula since the 15th century, due to Edward, King of Portugal, whose mother was English. The Spanish/Portuguese forms of the name are Eduardo and Duarte. Other variant forms include French Édouard, Italian Edoardo and Odoardo, German, Dutch, Czech and Romanian Eduard and Scandinavian Edvard. Short forms include Ed, Eddy, Eddie, Ted, Teddy and ...

Blue Deer School
The Blue Deer school (Cheongnokpa, hangul:청록파) is named after a poetry collection published by three Korean poets in 1946. Through the celebration of the natural beauty of their country, they heralded there the national awakening after some four decades of Japanese repression. Though the poets differ from each other in terms of poetic orientation and expression, technique and rhythm, they share the common theme of celebrating human aspirations and values. The anthology was named after a poem by one of the participants, Park Mok-wol. From his ''Blue Deer'', a work of pure lyricism, grows the suggested anticipation of the coming spring after the long years of occupation. Far away stands Ch’ong un Temple an old tile-roofed building. There at Cha Ha Mountain when spring snows melt The elms sprout twelve-fold leaves. In the clear eye of a blue deer Float clouds. Included in this anthology were fifteen poems by Park Mok-wol, twelve by Cho Chi-hun and twelve by Pak Tu-jin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
