[Children's Books] Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom | Urinuri | Junior Joongang | November 15, 2010 I was so curious after receiving the book *Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom*. From Gyeongbokgung Palace to Songgwangsa Temple... it really contains stories about so many buildings. It was also nice to learn about Biwon Garden in detail, which we already knew. We have only visited these places, but it was difficult to explain them well to the children;

This is the tenth story in the series "Fifty Colors, Our Things, Our Stories." It is a book that covers Korea's representative traditional architectural styles. It unpacks the potentially dry subject of architecture by incorporating stories tailored to each style. It offers an opportunity to learn about traditional architectural styles that embody the wisdom of our ancestors and are now rarely seen. This book brings architectural styles, which are currently only found in folk villages, museums,

The Story of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom. If you actually visit an old house and stay for a day, it feels neither too hot nor too cold. They are built perfectly suited to the weather. As I frequently encounter these buildings while reading this book, I realize just how harmoniously they blend with the earth and the sky. Even when constructing a single bridge, they prioritized elegance, care, wisdom, and harmony. That is how much our ancestors understood beauty and the art of

We have encountered the 50 stories our children absolutely must know, which we previously met through the "Precious Our Things, Fun Our Stories" series, once again as the "Fifty-Colored Our Things, Our Stories" series. It is a revised edition, which speaks to just how much love it has received, doesn't it? It is even better that it is composed of stories that are truly essential to know. The content of this book features stories of buildings imbued with 5,000 years of wisdom, capturing the

This is the 10th story in the "Fifty Colors, Our Things, Our Stories" series, titled "The Story of Our Buildings." This book features ten stories about our traditional architecture. These include tile-roofed houses imbued with the power and elegance of the nobility; thatched-roof houses resembling round, kind hearts; palaces where history and culture blossom; Hyanggyo, local schools established by the state; pavilions reflecting a desire to emulate nature; fortresses that have preserved

Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom - Our Beautiful Buildings... Personally, I really love palaces. The same goes for old tiled-roof houses and thatched-roof houses. I used to love playing in ancient palaces when I was young. The elegant lines and beautiful colors... and the magnificent structures... The more I learn about them, the more wonderful they seem. I felt so grateful to think of our palaces as treasures of my country. It is not just palaces; the same goes for the

I read *Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom* because, honestly, I was more curious about it myself. While visiting the palaces with my child (as part of a field trip), I realized just how beautiful our royal palaces truly are. My legs were aching from the tour, so I happened to sit down right there to admire the view. The feeling of being in harmony with nature made me feel as if I were transported back to the old days. Sometimes, when watching dramas, I think of the footsteps

My child loves history stories, so as soon as I saw the title, I knew this was a book my child would enjoy. I was looking forward to seeing what kind of buildings our ancestors had in "Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom." Since I have visited the palaces where the kings who ruled the country lived, I also read with anticipation, wondering if stories about that might appear. "Stories of Buildings Containing 5,000 Years of Wisdom" was a required reading for my child's school,

"Poor people like Sundeok's family covered their roofs with rice straw. Since most of them were farmers, they could easily obtain rice straw. Houses like this are called 'choga.' Rice straw has several advantages. First, because it is lightweight, the wooden supports for the roof do not need to be thick. Also, covering the roof with straw allowed for good airflow in the summer, keeping the house cool, while blocking out cold air in the winter kept it warm. Therefore, it was a very suitable
