Korean Mythology - the story of Dangun

in #mythology7 years ago

King Hwan-in of Heaven had a son, Hwan-woong.
Hwan-woong looked down at the world under his feet and thought.
Mountain is very blue. The river is also very clear.
If only I could live in that beautiful land with people ...'

Hwan-in recognized his son's meaning and allowed him to go down to the party,
I will give you three pieces of cloth. Use it to benefit people!"

This opened the door of the sky wide, and Hwan-woong came to the ground.
Wind, rain, and clouds were followed by gods and 3,000 soldiers.

Hwan-woong started an altar under the divine tree of Taebaek.
And for the people on the ground,

They cover right from wrong, they teach farming, they fix diseases ...
He said he took care of 760 odd jobs.

People on the ground
By sowing, we gathered crops.

The wind of the wind
The god of clouds sent rain to help.

As time went by, it became a better place to live on.

More and more people gathered together to form a bigger village.

And then, one day.
Bears and tigers came to Hwan-woong.
" Hwan-woong, we are human.
I want to live a happy life.
Please grant our wish."
When you eat it, don't watch the sunlight for a hundred days.
Then you could be a person.

The bear and the tiger enter the dark cave without a single stroke of sunlight,
I spent my days eating strong mugwort and smelling garlic.

The tiger ran out of the cave in a few days.
" Uck! I don't want to be a big fan of this."

But the bear held on to it.
I turned into a beautiful girl in twenty-one days.
She was a great girl.

When my daughter came to human-being, she had one more wish.
It was giving birth to babies.
She prayed under the birch tree every day.
" Here's to you! Please let me have a baby."
Hwan-woong felt sorry for her, so he greeted her as a wife.

Ten months later, she gave birth to a baby.
It sniffs, it sniffs!"
He was a strong little boy at first glance.

" Well, you must be very brave.
In the future, you will rule the world!"
Hwan-woong was very happy and named the baby Dangun.

Dangun was brought up by the love of Hwan-woong and his mother.

He grew up to be a child with a good heart, wise thoughts, and strong power.

As an adult, Dangun took care of people like his father Hwan-woong.
People also believed in and followed such Dangun.

"It was born between heaven and earth.
We must bring such a great man to our wages!"

As a result, the king led the people away from his father Hwan-woong's castle.
He set up a kingdom in a good place to live.
It is Gojoseon. It is the first country to build this land.

After that, Dangun Wang Gun led Gojoseon for 1,500 years.
The Gojoseon Line became a large and strong country with a wide range of land.
