Topic: can
we think of examples of cultures that were mot tolerated in korea in the past
but became accepted in recent years?
Summary
남녀칠세부동석 is a phenomenon in which men and women do not
sit together after the age of seven. This was a rule for the succession of the
throne and the ethics of the ruling class spread to the common people and began
to affect Korea. For example, the number of portraits of women who were
actively produced decreases significantly over time. He avoided even looking
from place to place with women in front of him to paint. While the extreme case
has disappeared as it came to modern society, it remains one of the important
virtues of the older generation in the region where the ethics of Confucian
society are still strong. In the past, most middle and high schools in Korea
were divided into male and female schools, and even coeducational schools were
often divided into male and female schools. Even elementary school was divided
into men and women from high school.
Interesting
This was originally a rule for succession
to the throne, but it was even passed on to the general public who had nothing
to do with it. It was amazing, and it's amazing to see what you do from above
and copy it as it is, not for some reason. Its aftermath still lingers in our
modern society.
Discussion
I wonder if there is something similar in
other countries. Countries in China's Confucian culture seem to exist in
general, but I wonder if these exist in countries that are not related to
Confucianism. What if this was still being followed thoroughly today?
