Commemorating the Day of the March 1st Movement (Samil Undong) in Jakarta, Indonesia

 

On Monday 1 March 2021 (Korea Center) which is located around the Korean embassy in Jakarta, in the opening ceremony, this place is planned to be used to learn Korean for Indonesians and Koreans who want to learn Indonesian and not only that this place will also be used to learn Korean culture, after the opening ceremony of this place we all continued to the next event, which was to commemorate the Korean movement on March 1 or called (Samil Undong).

In this event we all also explained what was the day of the Korean movement and also how the enthusiasm of the Korean people at that time tried to fight for their country to be independent from Japanese colonialists, and we were also briefly told about the history of this movement.

After we all explained about the Samil Undong movement, we all participated in the competitions provided, namely the Korean flag drawing competition and also drawing the Korean peninsula from north to south, even though this event was only limited to 15 people because of this pandemic era, but we are all very enthusiastic about this event, because we as Indonesians feel very much in a struggle where Indonesia and Korea are both colonized by Japan and our independence day is only 2 days apart, South Korea is August 15 while Indonesia is August 17 and in the same year, namely 1945.

The Korean March 1 Movement or also known as Samil Undong struggled for South Korean civil society to be free from Japanese colonialism. 103 years ago (now 2021), to be precise on March 1, 1919 millions of Koreans staged a demonstration against the Japanese occupation.

Demonstrations lasted more than 1 year from March 1, 1919. More than 1,500 demonstrations were recorded against the Japanese occupation which had lasted 10 years.

It is said that during the Korean March 1 Movement more than 7,000 of its citizens were killed by the Japanese army and police. It is also said that more than 16,000 Koreans were injured, 46,000 were arrested with 10,000 of them being tried and convicted. Coupled with the damage to houses and other infrastructure.

Although the Japanese authorities finally stopped them, the spirit of the March 1 Movement had spread throughout Korea. In fact, a Korean government was formed in Shanghai which continued the self-proclaimed struggle for independence from Japanese colonialists.

Until now the March 1 Movement is still celebrated every year. March 1 is also designated as a national holiday for North and South Korea.

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Gambar
Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po...

After a full body massage, you will feel better and your body will feel much lighter. In typical spa places you have to choose your own program.

Jjukkumi, one of South Korea's signature dishes that you must try

Gambar
  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu. Jukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum is made from two basic ingredients, namely jukkumi and samgyeopsal. Jukkumi or octopus ocellatus is a type of octopus that is small and has a softer texture than ordinary octopus. Samgyeopsal,...
