It is also called 'daeui' (大衣, big clothing), 'daesu' (大袖, wide sleeves) and 'jangsam' (長衫, long clothing). The queen, princess consort, and consort to the first son of the crown prince wore it as a ''soryebok'', a robe for small ceremonies, while wives of high officers and ''sanggung'' (court matrons) wore it as ''daeryebok'', a robe for major ceremonies. It was also worn by commoners on their wedding ceremony.

It was typically a garment item reserved for the upper class and commoners of this period would rarely see anyone in this garment. It was worn as a simple official outfit or for small national ceremonies while court ladies wore it as a daily garment. Origins It is strongly asserted that Dangui originated from ''jangjeogori'' ( 장저고리; ''long jeogori''), which was worn before the early Joseon Dynasty.

This is because the Chinese character 《唐》 was assumed to refer to the Tang Dynasty. However, it is judged that this w ...

Korean Dance
Dance in Korea began with shamanistic early rituals five thousand years ago and now ranges from folk dance to newly created and adopted contemporary dance. Overview Korean traditional dance originated in ancient shamanistic rituals thousands of years ago. By the time of the later Korean kingdoms, Goryeo and Joseon, in the 2nd millennium AD, Korean traditional dance benefited from regular support of the royal court, numerous academies, and even an official ministry of the government. A number of different dances gained permanent high status, including the Hermit dance, the Ghost dance, Buchae Chum (the fan dance), Seung Mu (the Monk dance), the Oudong (Entertainer) dance and others, despite the fact that many had humble origins. For example, the Fan dance is believed to have originated with shamans performing nature rites with leaves but evolved into one of the most highly refined Korean dances. Other Korean dances remained and remain to this day under the ambit of farme ...
