Min Hyun-sik. 2002. Traditional Humanistic Speculation
Appeared in the Korean Proverbs. Korean Semantics, 11.
There are many traditional and popular expressions in
Korean language. They include idioms, cants, proverbs(old
sayings), greetings, compliments, abusive language(slanders,
curses), riddles and tales, etc. These expressions reflect
the
spirits of times or popular voices. Korean traditional
proverbs also reflect the traditional Korean spirits.
Firstly,
they are divided into proverbs of teachings, proverbs of
parable, and proverbs of fortune. Secondly, the proverbs of
fortune are divided into proverbs of taboo, proverbs of
solicitation, proverbs of sign, and proverbs of dream
reading.
Ten thousands of Korean proverbs show the wisdom of
life, and reflect the consciousness of Korean people. For
example, they show teaching of diligence, conduct of life,
promoting virtue and reproving vice, preponderance of
official power, male chauvinism, fatalism, superstition,
moralism, satire, pragmatism, and criticism to the
aristocratic
class, etc. Especially Korean people respect and value the
humanism influenced by the confucianism. Traditional
humanism is constituted of literary arts, history and
philosophy. Korean proverbs also show the traditional
humanism as follows.
Firstly, traditional humanism of literary arts shows
pursuing the policy of literary arts, respecting of
teachers,
dignity, appearance, honour of family and discretion. They
-

demanded the prudent life to Korean people.
Secondly, traditional humanism of history shows the
consciousness of reward in accordance with a deed and the
corollary affirmatively. But negatively that shows the
fatalism,
acceptance of one's fate, desire for power and bitter
feelings.
Thirdly, traditional humanism of philosophy shows the
three fundamental principles and five moral disciplines in
human relations, that is, loyalty, filial piety, and
virtuousness
of woman.
