    That age system thing. We kinda use that in China too but not officially. My mom used to yell "You are NINE years old already! Pick up your dirty laundry!" then five minutes later "No you can't watch that! You are only eight years old!" As a result I could never figure out how old I was when I was a kid.

      East Asian counting system began with 1 before the spread of zero east, so that's most likely why. Also, if you are born at the end of the year (on the traditional calendar of course), the tough luck, you'd be 1 until the new year, then you'll be 2...

      We do use it (kinda) but not officially, on our IDs and our passports we only show our birth date and in government functions stuff we use our official age (the current year minus your birth year, called 实岁 real age). Every time new year comes, you are “one year older” instantly (this age is called 虚岁 “virtual age”) and people treat you as one year older already but we haven’t really grown one year older, but people like to ask both your virtual age and your real age. Different regions in China celebrate birthday in different time like some place celebrate birthday of your “virtual age” some “real age” and that would be way too complicated to explain.

    7:34 Actually, king sejong was a very smart person(he memorized an entire book able to say what page a random sentence is in) so he himself didn't have problem using chinese characters. Instead, he worried that most ordinary people were illiterate, so he invented hangul with the most outstanding scholars at that time.

      @@taidordz Maybe that specific story can be exaggerateed but there is no doubt King Sejong had no problem with Chinses characters. Apparently, not only kings but also all nobles in the royal court should have known how to read and write those characters since every document in the royal court was in Chinese. Even the most stupid king was able to read and write them.

    • @sayc.4027
      @sayc.4027 5 років тому +40

      ​@@taidordz Actually, that's probably not exaggerated at all. King Sejong is known as the most scholastic AND dilligent Korean head of state in the history of the Peninnsula, and in fact it's a famous myth that he even had to cooperate with other scholars to complete Hangeul - it's almost completely Sejeong's solo work.
      And considering the methods of studying back then were drilling the Confucian text over and over until you can recite it half-asleep, completely able to elaborate the thoughts behind it and be able to add a footnote to it... The story's more likely than you think.

    • @jss2142
      @jss2142 5 років тому +8

      And there's another myth going on. When the King Sejong started on the project of Hunminjeonum (in modern days, we call Hangul), most scholars were con, since it can be the sign of being idependent of China. So, Hangul was actually created almost by him alone, based on the shape of tongues and Confucian style interpretaion of language. You cannot imagine how clever he was.
      After he finished creating Hangul, many scholars working in Jiphyunjeon had no alternative but to accept it. The King Sejong forced them to make some literature with Hangul and distribute it to his people.
      There are many dualities in history we are missing due to some stupid nationalism. The facts are that the King Sejong was such an intelligent guy and, simultaneously, he did not care his people so much as we are told to believe.

      lutin grognon that show north determination, although already dug 4 tunnels (or probably more than 20), they still want to find the coal

    when I visited South Korea with my girlfriend everyone kind of got strangely excited because her parents are from Turkey. We were both really confused ... apparently there is some unusually strong friendship between Korea and Turkey, mostly because of Turkeys involvement in the Korean war but their ties seem to go back even furthrt, which was really interesting. Was hoping that would be mentioned in this episode.

      Korean and Turkish people have a common ancestry in the same nomadic tribe. But then I am talking about almost 2000 if not more back. So most likely the brotherhood mostly relates to the Turkish aid in the Korean War.
