Cultural Post #1

Today, I would like to talk about koreans and 4 seasons. I learned that Korea puts special emphasis on the number 4. Even on the korean flag, there are symbols on each corner which are indicative of the four seasons. I thought this was interesting because America doesn’t really have anything like this. Even with superstitions, the fourth floor of a building is seen to be bad and unlucky. Therefore, there are some buildings that are lacking the fourth floor on the elevator. Usually, the number four is indicative of the four seasons. There are many koreans songs that emphasize the four seasons too. In fact, the Korean national anthem has four verses and each verse talks about one of the four seasons.
