Early Korean literature was heavily influenced by Shamanism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. It began as an oral tradition and emphasized moral values like loyalty, filial piety, and respect. The first Korean writings were poems called hyangga during the Shilla Kingdom. Literature continued to develop over the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties, with the creation of hangul allowing for a broader range of works and audiences. Major genres included shijo poetry, p'ansori oral epics, and fiction written in both Chinese and hangul that increasingly featured common people.

The homeowners wanted to add a railing to their bare front porch. Their architect, David Whitney, provided four design options for a balustrade. They chose a flat stock profile design and had contractors Tom and Norm make and install the railing on site. A photo shows Tom cutting the baluster pieces with a template. The finished railing, soon to be painted, adds detail to the front of the house and the homeowners are happy with the results.

North Korea: 'Starvation on a massive scale'
1. North Korea: 'Starvation on a massive scale'
Story highlightsU.N. warns of "looming humanitarian disaster" in North Korea due to drought with
famine likely to followEven state media, which usually paint a rosy picture, have expressed
concernsU.N. official calls on international community to provide helpDuring the famine of the
1990s, Lee was forced to eat grass from the mountains to survive.
"We were told that any grass that rabbits eat is edible," she says. "So we picked any grass we could
find that wasn't poisonous and mixed it with rice, or used it to make grass porridge.
"Children were suffering from malnutrition. Their stomachs were very swollen. ... Their whole faces
were covered with fine hair and their hair was a very light brown color instead of black. Their arms
and legs were so skinny they looked like tree branches."
Now, North Koreans are again facing a "looming humanitarian disaster in the DPRK," or the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, according to the United Nations human rights chief.
Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein told CNN, "We call for the international community to support the DPRK and
help the DPRK in a respect of what is going to be a very difficult famine."
State media, which usually paint only a rosy picture of life for North Korea's citizens, have been
publishing reports about what they call the worst drought in 100 years.
"Their decision to officially report the drought in their internal media is remarkable," says Andrei
Lankov, a professor at South Korea's Kookmin University. "It's a signal to both domestic and foreign
audience that probably something will go bad later this year. So they will probably apply for foreign
aid."

Parched rice paddies 'incredibly serious'China says it is willing to help.
And there's been a neighborly offer of
assistance from South Korea, even though the
two countries are technically at war. Seoul's
Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo says both
Koreas are facing drought, and this could be a
time for cooperation.
The Asia deputy regional director for the U.N.
World Food Programme, John Aylieff,
witnessed power cuts to the hydroelectric
power supply when he was last in Pyongyang,
the North Korean capital. He says his staff
members have reported low reservoir and
2. river levels.
"The government has said ... that the rice which is being transplanted in the fields as we speak,
about 40% of that is now in paddy fields which are parched. That sounds incredibly serious."
The U.N.'s Al Hussein warns, "You may well see starvation on a massive scale unless there's a
massive relief effort in the weeks and months to come."
Aylieff is not predicting a famine like the one that killed upward of half a million people in the 1990s.
But he says if it does not rain soon, the main rice harvest will suffer. That could cause food shortages
by the end of the year -- a major concern in a country where a third of the children are already
malnourished.

Malnutrition fears"It doesn't take very much for malnutrition to spike," he says. "It doesn't take long
for malnutrition to spike either. So a short and fairly serious shock to the food system of the country
can create quite serious implications for the population."
Lankov points out that North Korea also had a drought last year, but still had a good harvest. He is
more worried about the implications for fledgling reforms to the agricultural system.
"Over the last two years," he explains, "the North Korean government has been implementing a new
and remarkably efficient policy which is based on the household responsibilities. So farmers'
households are given 30% of the harvest instead of the fixed rations they used to receive in the past.
And as a result, they work much better, and over the last two years North Korea had really good
harvests. Essentially they produced enough food to feed themselves."
Lankov worries if the drought is as bad as some are predicting, the government will once again force
farmers to hand over all of their food, in the name of the greater good.
