Lesson 4 Build a Better world

 

A Protector of Our National Heritage

 

 

 Yunju, a high school student, went to a Korean art exhibition. She wrote a report about her experience [shared/to share] with her class. Last week, I visited an [exposure/exhibition] of artwork and ancient items [selecting/selected] from the Kansong Art Museum’s collection. The exhibition [including/included] information about the man who gathered all of the artwork [displaying/displayed] there. His name was Jeon Hyeongpil, but he is [better/worse] known by his pen name, Kansong. He was born into a rich family in 1906, [living/lived] through the Japanese occupation of Korea. [At/In] the age of 24, he [inhabited/inherited] a massive fortune. After [careful/carefully] thinking about [how/what] he could do for his country, he decided to use the money to [prohibit/protect] Korea’s cultural heritage from the Japanese. This decision was greatly [influencing/influenced] by his mentor, Oh Sechang, [who was/ X ] an [dependence/independence] activist and had [sharp/keen] insight into Korean art. With Oh’s guidance and his own [conventions/convictions], Kansong devoted most of his fortune to [acquiring/acquire] old books, paintings, and [the other/another/other] works of art. He considered these items the pride of the nation and [had believed/believed] they represented the national spirit. [If it were not for/Without/But for] his actions, they would have [been destroyed/destroyed] or [take/taken] overseas.

[As soon as/ Upon] walking in, I could not help but [admire/to admire] some ink-and-water paintings by Jeong Seon, a famous Korean artist also [knowing/known] as Gyeomjae. These paintings were [keeping/kept] in an album [calling/called] the *Haeak jeonsincheop. They depict the beautiful [scene/scenery] of Geumgangsan Mountain and its [surrounding/surrounded] areas. The way Gyeomjae [painting/painted] the mountains, rivers, and valleys [makes/made/making] them look very [inviting/invited]. I was [shocking/shocked] when the museum tour guide said [that/what] the album was almost [buring/burned] as kindling. Fortunately, it was rescued at the last minute and later [purchasing/purchased] by Kansong. [Knowing/Known] that these beautiful paintings were [nearly/nearby] turned to ashes [making/made] me feel very [sad/sadly]. I am thankful [that/what] these paintings are still around [so/so that] future generations can also appreciate them.

 

The next item that [impressing/impressed] me was a gorgeous porcelain vase [calling/called] the *Celadon Prunus Vase with Inlaid Cloud and Crane Design. It is a pleasant [shadow/shade] of green, with a lovely pattern of clouds and cranes [encircling/encircled] the entire vase. The cranes seem to be [alive/lively] and [stretching/stretched] their wings in search of freedom. Kansong bought the vase from a Japanese art dealer in 1935. With the money he spent [for/on] it, Kansong could have [bought/been bought] 20 nice houses! Later, a different Japanese collector offered [the double/double the] price Kansong [paid/had paid] for the vase. However, Kansong [accepted/refused] to part with it because he knew [that/what] it was the most magnificent vase of its kind. Today it [lists/is listed] as one of Korea’s National Treasures. [See/Seeing] it [by/in] person was an [absolute/absolutely] breathtaking experience!

 

 Finally, I saw the one item in the museum that I will never forget – an original copy of the *Hunminjeongeum Haerye. This ancient book [wrote/was written] in 1446, and it explains the ideas and [principals/principles] behind the [creativity/creation] of Hangeul, the writing system of the Korean language. It was [found/founded] in Andong in 1940. At that time, ____________*연결어, Korea was still occupied by Japan. The Japanese colonial government intended to _______ _______ _______ the Korean language. Schools were [forced/forbidden] to teach lessons in Korean, and scholars who studied Korean [was/were] arrested. From the moment he heard [that/what] the Hunminjeongeum Haerye had [discovered/been discovered], Kansong couldn’t stop [to think/thinking] about it. He knew he [must/had to] protect [it/them] [at/in] all costs. After years of waiting, he was finally able to [attain/obtain] the book. He purchased it at [the ten times/ten times the] price the owner was [asking/asked], carefully [hid/hiding] it in his house. [When the Japanese finally defeated/With the Japanese finally defeated], he was able to share it with the rest of Korea. The guide said [that/what] the Hunminjeongeum Haerye is the museum’s most precious treasure. [With/Without] it, the origins and fundamentals of Hangeul would have [been lost/lost] to history. It has since [been designated/designated] a National Treasure of Korea and [has included/included] in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. [Looking/Looked] at the ancient book, I could feel Kansong’s strong commitment to [preserve/preserving] Korean history.

 

 [Standing/Stood/To stand] in the middle of the exhibition hall, [surrounding/surrounded] by Korean art, I could not stop [thinking/to think] about Kansong. He was an [amazing/amazed] person! He did not collect art for his [personal/personnel] enjoyment. He did it to protect Korea’s cultural [identification/identity] [for/during/while] the harsh Japanese colonial period. After Korea regained its independence, he stopped [to collect/collecting] art, as he knew it [will/would] safely remain in Korea. [During/For] our country’s worst time, a single man was able to [defend/offend] Korea’s national spirit and pride. [Due/Thank] to him, we are still able to experience an essential part of Korean culture today. [Found/Founded] in 1938, the Kansong Art Museum was Korea’s first [public/private] museum. [Built by Kansong/When Kansong built it], he named it Bohwagak. He used the building as a place to store all of the important cultural items he [collected/had collected] over the years. Kansong died in 1962, and Bohwagak [renamed/was renamed] the Kansong Art Museum in 1966. It now holds about 5,000 items, [including/included] 12 Korean National Treasures.
