๐ตA bathouse.
๐ตThis is a traditional Korean public bathhouse, known as a mogyoktang (๋ชฉ์ํ), which were prevalent in the 1980s and earlier in South Korea.
๐ตMogyoktang served as essential community hubs for hygiene and socialization, predating the rise in popularity of the more elaborate jjimjilbang complexes that emerged in the 1990s.
๐นWashing Stations: There are multiple individual washing stations with faucets and basins, designed for pre-soaking and scrubbing before entering the larger communal baths.
๐นBathing Tubs: Two large, tiled bathing tubs are visible, which are typically filled with hot water for communal soaking.
๐นTiled Interior: The entire space is covered in white and blue checkered tiles, a common and practical choice for wet environments like bathhouses.
๐นPurpose: Such facilities are popular for relaxation, hygiene, and social interaction, offering various pools, saunas, and sometimes even sleeping areas or dining options.
๐นArchitectural Style: The simple, tiled design with multiple individual washing stations and larger communal bathing tubs is characteristic of older mogyoktang facilities, which were common before the widespread adoption of modern jjimjilbangs.
๐นHistorical Context: In the 1980s, public bathhouses were a necessary ritual for many Koreans, as a significant portion of households lacked proper showers or hot water at home.
๐นGender Segregation: While not explicitly shown in this single image, mogyoktang facilities are traditionally gender-segregated, with separate areas for men and women, often featuring similar layouts within each section.
๐นContrast with Modern Jjimjilbangs: While modern jjimjilbangs offer a broader range of facilities like saunas, relaxation areas, and entertainment, the image reflects the more basic and functional design of bathhouses from that era.
๐ตDaewoo Electronics Designated Branch - menjual TV, refrigerator, washing machine, radio and other home appliances.

๐ตKe bahagian seterusnya.
๐ตKelihatan Pagoda National Folk Museum of Korea.
๐ตThe National Folk Museum of Korea also features a replica school building within its open-air exhibits, specifically designed to evoke the atmosphere of a "gungminhakgyo" (national peoples' school) from the 1970s and 80s, which was the precursor to the modern elementary school. This exhibit offers a glimpse into the educational environment of that era,
๐นThe school building is part of the museum's outdoor exhibition, which aims to evoke the atmosphere of the 1980s.
๐นThe "gungminhakgyo" name was used for primary schools before the term "chodeunghakgyo" (elementary school) became standard in 1996.
๐ตThe museum's open-air exhibits go beyond just the school, showcasing other aspects of traditional Korean life and culture, including replicas of spirit posts, stone piles for worship, grinding mills, rice storage, and kimchi pot pits.
๐ตThis is s Rotary Grinding Mill.
๐นRotary grinding mills were driven by an ox or horse and used to mill grain.
๐นRotary mills, where the upper mill stone ran horizontally on the base stone through the power of work animals, were much more efficient than hand mills with mortars and pestles, which utilized pressing and rotating motions.
๐นDuring the grinding, one person held reins of the ox or horse pulling the mill stone, and another person fed and turned the crops with a wooden shovel.
๐นBuilding a rotary grinding mill required much money so villagers usually built and used them collectively.
๐นSuch mills almost completely disappeared with the introduction of mechanical mills.
๐ตWooden Chest for Rice Seeds
๐นA wooden chest, narakdwiju in Korean, is used for storing rice seeds after harvesting.
๐นIt is also called as narakduji, dudaetong, byeotduji, dukjip according to regions.
๐นThe bottom of the chest was floated about forty centimeters from the ground.
๐นThe walls was built with large wooden boards and placed straw roofs.
๐นGaps between the boards were filled with chestnut burrs so that rats could not enter.
๐นThe wooden chest was brought from a vemacular house located in Seojung-ri, Sanbuk-myeon, ungyeong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do; that had been used since 1870s.
๐ตMemorial Stone and Other Stone Objects from Gen. Nam O-seong's Tomb
๐นThis memorial stone, pair of civil official statues, altar, and incense burner stand are from the tomb of General Nam O-seong, which was discovered in Seoksan-ri, Taean-eup, Taean-gun of Chungcheongnam-do in 2002.
๐นBorn in 1643, Nam O-seong passed the military service state examination in 1676.
๐นHe served in various posts including the naval commander of Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang provinces and died in 1712.
๐นThe front of the memorial stone reveals that the tomb held the remains of General Nam and his wife, and the back of the stone contains an epitaph composed by the general's grandson, Im Bak.
๐ตStone Altar
๐นA wide, rectangular stone platform was erected in front of a tomb to place food sacrifices and incense burners during ancestral rites.
๐นThe altar on display was donated by Seoul resident Kim Seong-heum when he moved tombs of his ancestors to another location.
๐ตStone Statues of Civil Officials
๐นStone statues in the shape of a civil official wearing formal attire and holding official's tablet guarded the tombs of important people.
๐นOther stonework erected at tombs included statues of military officers wearing armor and holding swords, memorial stones, posts, altars, and stands for incense burners.
๐ตMemorial Building and Gate for the Filial Piety
๐นHeo Gwon (1847-1895) was commended by the Joseon Dynasty for his filial piety.
๐นThe commemorative stone, the building constructed to house it, and the gate to the building reflect the social values, architectural style, and sophistication of crafts of the time.
๐นThe building was originally located on the premises of the estate of Heo's descendent in Buan-gun of Jeollabuk-do and moved to the National Folk Museum of Korea in 2008.
๐นSome of the pillars were repaired in the process, and the fence was added to mark off the area.
๐นThe building features colorful paintwork on wood and carvings of the lotus bud, dragon, and phoenix.
๐นOn the gate, there is a board with inscription of "Gate of filial piety" and paintings of the tiger, plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo.
๐ตObjects of Communal Worship in a Village Cairn Guardian Post Sacred Pole
๐นTraditional Korean villages had a shrine for the guardian spirit at the back of the village, and guardian posts, sacred poles, stone stacks, and sacred trees at the village entrance.
๐นVillagers worshipped these sites, praying for safety and an abundant harvest.
๐นThe objects of worship on display are of the most common types found at village entrances.
๐นThe guardian posts and sacred poles are full-size replicas representing characteristic features of posts and poles in each region of Korea.
To be continued.
Till the next coming entry, inshaAllah. Meanwhile do take care.
