So many interesting new things I have learned! I find court life (in any culture) to be so fascinating!! I don't think I could have ever survived in any of those courts. I look forward to seeing the next part to learn more things!
So the king wakes up a 4am, what time do the servants have to wake up to wake up the king? What time do they go to sleep? My first act as king/queen don’t even think of waking me up before 8am.
@@rvdb7363 I always think about that when I watch my dramas, I always feel bad for the servants, especially those that have to get the royals up and dressed, and put them to bed.
I believe eunuchs and ladies in waiting were on standby outside the King's chambers. They probably half sleep rest while standing awaiting for a command incase the King wants anything at any time of the night.
The attendants had shifts. They were not there to serve the king all the time. There were 8 hr shifts and 12 hr shifts, according to the job. Similar to nurses at hospitals now.
Excellent video, then could you talk about the Jaegaseung, a minority Tungusic ethnic group that lived in Northeast Korea until the middle of the 20th century?
I am a new subscriber. As an American student of East Asia over 50 years, a former Thai and Mandarin, and present Korean speaker, I really appreciate your work. I was surprised when you said Joeseon was the world's longest running dynasty. A quick run around the internet shows many competing dynasties, but most include Korea in the top 5. However, Silla is given that distinction most of the time but not always. I did not find another suggestion for Joeseon, although this was a cursory look for sure. I will pursue it further. Lots of good stuff here. I'll be back often.
Can you imagine doing all the court protocol in the less-than-ideal weather that usually visits the Peninsula? There are many reasons Koreans are a robust people.
This was very informative, concise video, thank you. I've been interested in other/ ancient cultures for decades with a special focus on Asia and a further soft spot for Korea and its history even before the Korean wave hit. One factor might have been that ours were the two countries divided by politics for decades and all the impacts this has had on ordinary people and their families, in the case of Korea sadly to this day. But Hallyu has made it so much easier to get my hands on everything Korea-related from (language) books to CDs/ music downloads and great series and films, of course, here in Europe. I wouldn't have found those true gems otherwise. I hardly ever watch Western movies anymore and I love singers like Park Hyo Shin, Lee Sunhee, Lee Sora, Soyang and others apart from the internationally famous ones. And I'm fascinated by Pansori. Internet for good purposes... On a side note, I feel there's some echo of the state exams when you have a close look at the national ones still taking place today as they may decide your professional future...
Somehow I missed this episode. And noticed as I reviewed my notifications for last month, it was missing. What an excellent thorough review of the daily life of the Monarchs and their retainers. As always I appreciate the quality of your presentations. Thank you.
I couldn't help but think about the awesome KTV Series "Rookie Historian Goo Hae-Ryung" watching this... awesome! THANK YOU! OH! One question - bowing FOUR times? Koreans avoid 4 as much as Chinese... is there some "exemption" to the 4 being bad believe?
While the kings were not legally allowed to read the Annals, many kings read them anyways, some to rewrite history in their favour and some to learn from the mistakes of the past.
I haven't come across anything so far :( It's funny you ask because I have been looking for a while now. I found a book but it's way too pricey at the moment (Everyday Life in Joseon-Era Korea: Economy and Society). You can probably get a good idea by reading short stories taking place during Joseon or from accounts of foreigners in Joseon (but those will be a little bit biased...)
@@loonytricky Thanks. I looked a bit as well. You can easily find for Japan and China, but not Korea. The book is expensive because it's an academic book. I think you can find the pdf online. Might be useful for your channel.

Thank you for keeping korean culture alive ❤❤

I was thinking the same thing. Poor servants...

Absolutely! Suneung exams decide one’s future like the state exams did back in Joseon.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it ^^

Thanks a lot ^^ I appreciate the feedback!
I like the purple robe for the crown Prince

We pronounce 빈례 like 빌례. Otherwise it’s too hard to say as you might noticed 😅 I love these videos. Good work!
Thank you. Great video🤩

Right, I remember reading and finding it odd but I couldn’t find any other sources saying otherwise.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can you talk about next time hwarang warriors

great timing bro and do not forget my request :)
While the kings were not legally allowed to read the Annals, many kings read them anyways, some to rewrite history in their favour and some to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Yes, for sure they did ^^
No they could not. They could read only summary book for king's historical knowlage.
How close were they to the Ming Dynasty?
Joseon was a vassal kingdom of Ming…
I know it's not always purple but mostly is purple
What books do you recommend for the daily life of people in medieval korea ?
