How to become a celestial being and enter the abode of the Heavenly Lord? How did heaven and earth share power over the world? Who are tokki and what connects ancient myths with modern customs of Korea? The book "Korean Myths...
for Children" will introduce you to the oldest legends of Korea. You will learn how from the union of heaven and earth were born the founders of states, what trials they faced, and what signs of nature confirmed their chosenness. You will meet Hyeokkose, born from the union of the elements – heaven, water, and earth, follow the path of Jumon – an accurate archer and the founder of Goguryeo – and learn about the great dispute between brothers deciding who should rule the world of the living and who should rule the world of the dead. These stories, full of symbols and wonders, will help you understand why harmony is more important than enmity for Koreans and why any confrontations should end not in death but in the establishment of order and the continuation of life.
