Link page What's KIPPO Vol.9 No.381 Wednesday, June 12, 2002 Tourist facilities in eight prefectures in the Kansai region-Fukui, Mie, Shiga, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Nara and Wakayama-have launched discount services for foreign tourists in response to an increase in their number on the occasion of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. The service is the brainchild of the Rekishi Kaido (Road of History) Promotion Council, made up of municipalities and economic organizations in Kansai. The council is headed by Yoshihisa Akiyama, chairman of the Kansai Economic Federation. Currently, 133 facilities, including hotels, inns, restaurants and souvenir shops, offer the discount services. These facilities post a certificate, issued by the council, at their front door or reception counter. The certificate is written in Japanese and English. Foreign tourists just show their passports to receive discounts of these facilities. Officials of the Rekishi Kaido Promotion Council say that they will expand the network of these facilities to provide better services to foreign tourists in Kansai. An international symposium to study cretaceous stratigraphy in the Japan Sea Rim region will be held at the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Katsuyama City June 21. The symposium, to be titled 'Fauna and Flora of the Tetori Group and correlation with the Cretaceous Sequences in Far-East Asia,' is part of the 2002 general meeting of the Palaeontological Society of Japan to be held at the museum June 21-23.

    Extractions: History and Mythology This constellation has been known as a bird since Greek times around 1200 B.C. It has been the eagle that holds the thunderbolts of Zeus and the eagle that kidnapped Ganymede the waterbearer (see Aquarius). In Indian mythology, the three bright stars of Aquila were the footprints of Vishnu. In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean mythology, Altair is Ch'ien Niu, the keeper of the royal herds. He fell in love with one of the sun king's (the sun king is represented as Vega in Lyra) daughters, Chih Nu. They fell so in love that they neglected their duties, and for this they were seperated. It is said that they reach across the heavens and see each other on the 7th day of the 7th month on a clear day, because the floods of a rainy day would keep them apart. This day is known as Tanabata, a holiday that some Japanese still celebrate. Stars alpha-Altair-Arabic name for entire constellation.

    Extractions: The Korea Football Association (KFA) said on May 2 that a tiger figure was chosen as its official emblem for the national team's uniforms. The KFA said that with more than one year to go before the 2002 World Cup finals, the selection of the tiger was to highlight the potential and strength of Korean soccer to the world. The association said that the emblem would likely be worn over the chests of the athletes on new uniforms that would be introduced early next year, though a final decision is pending. The mark of the South Korean flag, borne on the left side of the soccer team's current uniforms, would be moved to the shoulder. "We felt that the tiger was the most appropriate animal to represent our country," said a KFA official, who added that countries like England, France and Mexico all use animals to represent their national associations and teams. The association had asked the public to submit choices for a new emblem starting last year, but it ultimately opted for a symbol drafted by a design company. The tiger will be emblazoned on a blue shield circled by a golden thread, with a soccer ball clasped in its front paw.

    Extractions: WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT KOREA ? Frolova Ekaterina Ramenskoe city, Moscow region ... Cold winter morning. In a suburban train glasses are covered with hoarfrost. With my mum I go to Moscow to the Museum of arts of peoples of the East on the lecture devoted to the unknown, far country. I'm seven years old and warm, cosy lecture hall seems to me a heavenly spot after frozen street.Light is switched off, the screen flashes, one by one slides flash, the measured voice of the lecturer sounds like lullaby. It seems to me, that I sleep and I see wonderful fantastic dreams where fine palaces were stretched among magic gardens. I was transferred to edge, which name by music rings in my ears : " The country of morning freshness" ... Initial records of myths about "ancestors" were made in almost not kept ancient chronicles of the states Kogure, Paekche and Silla, and wider reflection the Korean mythology has found in the first Korean official annals " Samguk sagi " written by Kim Bu Sik in 1145 year. The Korean mythology has a number of specific traits. It is more connected to a history of the country, than with the world of gods. Mythical heroes appear as historical, legendary governors or the heroes of the ancient Korea born and working in chronologically fixed time and in geographically limited space. Therefore there is nothing surprising that to the one who though time appeared in authority of charm of ancient Korean legends, wanted to get know more of a history of this country. There are people who can see the whole beautiful world which is behind figures and facts, and they can recreate a poetic pictures of nature, to be able to understand the character of the nation. I belong to another kind of people. The mythical history, poetic line, dim time figure on a ceramic vessel, a female ornament, at times cause freakish images in my imagination. Frequently they are foggy also their outlines are not clear. I play with them, I touch as precious knickknacks, I put them in fantastic patterns. But there comes the moment when these images start to be erased, I would like to fill them in with new paints to make them more tangible, concrete, bright and then from books and encyclopedias I take figures and the facts, and they do not seem dry and dead any more, because behind them is life of the country, the culture of people and destiny of the separate person which at last become visible to me.

    Extractions: The Face Expression of Aphrodite Mythology make us to come back to natural world from civilized epoch. Greek mythologic world is vivid, free in limits of present and supernaturalness by imagnation. And it is archetype as basic thought about our world. Greek philosophy is important in terms of making man-centered thought. They are the key in understanding Western World. So we can know them by studying Greek literature and philosophy. In Greek literature, character's life is depending on his destiny or god's will. It is looked like that people might explain his various life by that method. First of all, we can understand by comparing the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer. The Iliad and the Odyssey are the story of the Trojan War. In the Iliad the main subject is "Wrath of Achilles". This story tells the Achaian army, led by Agamemnon, and the Trojan forces under Priam and his sons. Moreover the Iliad includes the conflict between the gods. Hector, Priam's son, engaged hardly in a battle although he had knew his destiny, he would be die. Achilles is described hero in this war, he was brave and keeping fraternity for Patroklos. In this story, Achilles and Hector are typical hero. Gods and goddesses are personification, the roots of war was their conflict. In conclusion of the Iliad, Achilles felt some pity of Priam's situation. It means Homer's heroic image about Achilles's personality. But conflicts of gods and goddesses became constantly.

59. Cultural Spotlight: Traditional Korean Alcohol
    In the Old Testament, Noah was the first to make alcohol. In Chinese mythology,princess Weechok created the first alcohol. How about korean alcohol?  
    http://www.lifeinkorea.com/culture/Alcohol/Alcohol.cfm
    
    Extractions: The Chinese character, ' ju ' for alcohol derives from a special pot used for fermentation. It has a pointed bottom and amphora-like shape, making it easy to separate out sediment that has settled to the bottom. The Korea word, ' sul ', originated from su (meaning water in Chinese) and bul (fire). This came to be abbreviated over time into sul . The term fired water came from the boiling appearance of fermenting liquid. There is an old saying that goes "water was created by god, sul was created by humans." The origin of alcohol is steeped in mythology. In Egyptian mythology, Isis' husband Osiris taught the god of grain how to make beer. In Greek-Roman mythology, it was Dionysos-Bachus. In the Old Testament, Noah was the first to make alcohol. In Chinese mythology, princess Weechok created the first alcohol.
