한국의 풍류사상과 그 관광문화적 특성

Korean Poongryu Ideology and its Connotation to Modern Tourism-Culture

Poongryu means a noble way of life of Korean leisured class, which arguably was originated from the myth of Dangun(the progenitor of Korean ethnos). It has thrived from Silla to Koryo Dynasty. Especially in Silla, Hwarangdo(the adherents of Poongryu) had enjoyed disciplined music and dance, recreating themselves with poetry and sightseeing of all parts of the country. At first indicating the intellectual and serious activities, Poongryu later changed and became the voluptuous or routine activities. Now situations are changing; most Korean people are not only highly educated, but their income and leisure time also increased. Consequently one has no option but to popularize the Poongryu by means of tourism.
