Korean Court Culture
Korean Court Culture refers to the customs, traditions, and social practices that developed within the royal courts of Korea, particularly during the Joseon Dynasty. This culture emphasized hierarchy, etiquette, and the importance of Confucian values, which shaped the interactions among the royal family, officials, and servants.
Art, literature, and music flourished in this environment, with notable contributions such as Korean painting, calligraphy, and traditional performances like gugak. The court also played a significant role in the promotion of education and the preservation of Korean history and culture through various scholarly activities and the establishment of institutions.
