Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.

Today, I would like to introduce dancheong goose.

As soon as I see it, it is a pair of dancheong geese that are so cute that

 I want to give presents to newly-weds.

Dancheong goose is often presented as a gift to newly-weds.
Especially, it was a mandatory wedding gift from 80s.

Do you know why?

Let's find out.

Dancheong goose's Meaning

Dancheong goose means " single-hearted " that it will only look at you for the rest of its life.

The goose is a symbol of the bride and groom's good love.
So it is used as a traditional wedding accessory.

The goose was traditionally considered a good omen to rest on a platform like a duck.
When holding a traditional wedding, many guests brought dancheong wild geese like the current wreath!

In fact, wild geese have a deep affection both, so once paired, they will live together for life.

Maybe it is the same reason why you give dancheong wild goose as a gift.

Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.

What is April 28?

It is the birth of Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin.

Admiral Yi Sun-sin is a hero of the Imjin War 

and an important historical figure who is respected by the Korean people even in modern times.

On the birth of Chungmugong, let's take a look at the growth process and major accomplishments of Yi Sun-sin!

1. Growth Progress

Born in Geoncheon-dong, Seoul, Admiral Yi Sun'sin spent his childhood in Seoul, too.

He was active and clever, was good at archery and horse riding.

But as fits, he studied literature for mor than 10 years and prepared for the entrance examination.

So? In "A War Diary," Admiral Yi Sun-sin's writing style is very beautiful.

He prepared for the liberal arts, but after getting married, 

he changed his mind to learn martial arts and passed the stae examination at the age of 31.

This is 1576 years before the Japanese invasion of Korea, which was 16 years ago.

Then, let me introduce Admiral Yi Sun-sin's major naval battles!

2. Major naval battles and achievements

Admiral Yi Sun-sin made an unprecedented victory in the history of naval battles

by crushing the Japanese army that invaded our seas.

Let's take a look at the major battles he won during the Imjin War.

[The Battle of Okpo] It's the first naval battle held off the coast of Okpo in Geoje Island on May 7, 1592. It is the first time that Admiral Yi Sun-sin fought against Japanese soldiers! Admiral Yi Sun-sin made a big victory in the battle by defeating 26 Japanese ships.

[The Battle of Sacheonpo], which took place on May 29, 1592, was the first Battle of Sacheonpo. He led the enemy ship into a wide area and attacked 13 ships in a counterattack.

[The Battle of Hansando] that took place on July 8, 1592, is considered one of the three greatest battles along with Baejak and Jinju. Admiral Yi Sun-sin used a crane shaped like a crane's wings to wrap up the Japanese troops, then oured all of its firepower at once to destroy 66 Japanese ships. It is also one of the world's top four naval battles!

[At the Battle of Noryang] the last battle of the Japanese invasion of 1592, the United States defeated the retreating Japanese troops in alliance with the Myeong Dynasty army. Joseon naval forces sank more than 200 ships and captured more than 100 of them. But in this battle, Admiral Yi Sun-sin was shot by a Japanese soldier and killed. The anecdote, which said, "Don't tell my death to enemy because the war is urgent to fight!" is still very popular!

It's already the 473 years since the birth of Chungmugong this year.

Admiral Yi Sun-sin prepared the battle with a brave and wise strategy.

He was also a great leader who helped them figure out the minds and morale of the soldiers.
