Series - Korean Cultural Series Vol. VII [PREFACE]"During their long history the Korean people evolved a collection of poignant expressions drawn from experiences in their everyday lives. These expressions, which at first glance may appear to speak indirectly, morally instruct with greater significance and easier comprehension than if spoken in plain language. Although frequently employed from the plough to the throne, these expressions were especially popular among the masses and, for this reason, were called "sang-mal" (vulgar words) or "sok-dam" (folk sayings) rather than proverbs. Although these "vulgar words" first achieved popularity among the common people who enjoyed the earthiness of their moral instruction, in the course of time they came to be regarded as golden sayings which reflected in succinct phrases the social life and philosophy of the Korean people." #SangMal #Books #booksforsale #Korea #bibliophile #bookcollecting #collectiblebooks #Antiquarian #Proverbs #CuttleboneBooks #Maxims #booksale #instabooks #CoverArt #instaread #Bookworm #SokDam #BooksBooksBooks #Folklore #Idiom #Bookstagram #Vintage #Scarce #readersofinstagram #IdiomaticExpression #Books
