| Subject | The oldest village, the remnants of Amsa-dong. | ||
|
The oldest village in Seoul is located at the point where the blue Han River water swings in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. It is a Neolithic site in Amsa-dong that was formed 6,000 years ago. Cars running faster than the wind pass by the Olympic Boulevard next to the village. Not many citizens are proud of the fact that the world's most beautiful and complete comb-pattern pottery has been produced here on the outskirts of Seoul. Comb-pattern pottery is a representative artifact of the Neolithic Period. The most sophisticated and advanced comb-pattern pottery was excavated in the central and western regions of the Korean Peninsula, including Amsa-dong. For this reason, some archaeologists believe that comb-pattern pottery culture originated in the Korean Peninsula, including northeastern China. Many citizens are interested in the historic site of Amsa-dong. About 120,000 people visit the site annually. About 400,000 people will participate in the Gangdong Seonsa Culture Festival, which takes place every fall for three days, focusing on the remains of Amsa-dong. The remains of Amsa-dong will be open to citizens who exercise or take a walk in the morning before the start of the tour. The remains of Amsa-dong seem to be close to citizens and distant. It is far from the fact that the value of the ruins is not well recognized, and it is not unfamiliar in that it is a shelter close to the residents. On the other side of the ruins of Amsa-dong, Amsa Historical Park is being built in connection with the ruins. The historic park will house a prehistoric experience yard, an outdoor performance hall, and a carbon offset forest. The Amsa Green Road, a walking path connecting the remains of Amsa-dong with the Han River, will also be constructed. When Amsa Historical Park and Amsa Green Road are completed, the remains of Amsa-dong will be another landmark showing the long historical landscape of Seoul. ◇ The oldest town in Seoul Look for a quiet museum or historical site when you're empty and out of work after a fun book reading or a difficult homework. The trajectory where the good man lived may give a clue to a new start. The remains of Amsa-dong, located at 875 Olympic Boulevard in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu, seem to be a quiet park. It is open for citizens to exercise here from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. When we visited, the warm morning sun of the spring day was blessing all things. Fresh azaleas, cherry blossoms, magnolia, and cherry blossoms were showing off their appearance among the well-grown green pine trees. Was the Han River this beautiful even during the Neolithic period thousands of years ago? The historic site in Amsa-dong recreates the houses where the Neolithic ancestors lived. It is easy to mistake it for a straw-made thatched house, but it is a pit house with a roof made of silver grass. Agriculture did not begin on the Korean Peninsula during the Neolithic period. On the other hand, there were a lot of silver grass near the Han River, so naturally silver grass was used as a building material. The historic site was enjoying the bright spring energy, as if it could not resist the spring when the house seemed dark and cold. Models of neolithic sailors who caught fish or hunted wild animals seemed likely to draw curiosity and fun from children. In the experience village in the ruins, there are models of wild boars and deer that fall to the ground when children shoot arrows. It is said that children like it very much. The remains of Amsa-dong are not only the oldest villages in Seoul, but also the largest Neolithic village formed in the Han River basin, the Korean Peninsula. The entire Korean Peninsula has never been found to have such a large group of Neolithic Periods. There are about 40 residences excavated here. All dwellings are dug deep within one meter of the ground and roofed over it. It is suitable for cold climates in winter because it has four distinct seasons like Korea. In the center of the house, the robberies were rotated in a circular, oval, and square shape to install a furnace, which functions as cooking, heating, and lighting. In addition to the pit pit, storage pits, outdoor grasses, and stone mound facilities made of strong gravel were identified here. The stones are clearly heated, and dozens of pieces of burnt soil, charcoal, and comb-pattern pottery have been identified, suggesting that the stone mound facility is a single kiln or joint oven where the earthenware was baked. Comb-pattern pottery, which is regarded as the essence of living culture and art in the Neolithic period, was created here. ◇ 'Original' Korean Peninsula of comb-patterned pottery Third row comb, fifth row comb, semi-circle that seems to be pressed with fingernails, small dots that seem to be pressed with something round at the end, and a pattern that seems to overlap several "V" letters...The geometric beauty of comb-patterned pottery, which I saw in my textbook as a child, is unforgettable for a long time. Comb-pattern pottery has been found in many parts of the world, including Korea. Siberian comb-pattern pottery culture belts were once painted because they appeared throughout Siberia. There are many theories about the origin of comb-patterned pottery, but the Siberian origin has often been cited. However, recent research has also raised views on the Korean Peninsula, including northeastern China, as its origin. This is because earthenware excavated from this area is not only exceptional in its shape and pattern, but also ahead of its time. In the mid-western part of the Korean Peninsula, including the historic site of Amsa-dong, the most sophisticated and highly perfected pottery among comb-pattern pottery was found. This is why the Korean Peninsula is regarded as the origin of comb-patterned pottery culture. Comb-pattern pottery from Amsa-dong varies in size. The bottom of the earthenware is pointed or rounded, and the outside of the bowl is engraved with an etched design. The earthenware is often divided into three parts: the top, the middle, and the bottom, and different patterns are carved. The upper part is mainly carved with a Dansa Seonmun, and the middle part is carved with a fish bone pattern (eogolmun. In addition, various forms of patterns can be seen. In the ruins of Amsa-dong, a large number of burrowing districts, stone axes, whelks and stones were found to make other tools. In particular, jade ornaments were excavated for the first time in Korea's Neolithic ruins in a 2016 excavation survey, making it a valuable material to give a glimpse into the prehistoric art culture of the Han River basin. Korea is an indispensable area when discussing comb-pattern pottery culture. Gangdong-gu is pushing to register the world-renowned ruins of Amsa-dong as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prehistoric remains do not have much preserved. There are not many artifacts that can be checked with the eyes and touched with the hands, so it is less noticeable than those of the historical era. There are also far fewer listed as World Heritage sites. However, the perception surrounding prehistoric cultural assets is changing, and efforts to register them as World Heritage sites are increasing. A case in point is China and Japan's move to list their Neolithic remains on the World Heritage List. Considering the global trend of reevaluating the value of prehistoric remains, it is unlikely that the remains of Amsa-dong will be listed as a world heritage site. ◇ Han River, which has been a village since the Neolithic Age The remains of Amsa-dong are inseparable from the Han River. This is because it was a village where fishing and gathering lived around the Han River. However, it is currently blocked by Olympic Boulevard and is cut off from the Han River. Without the Olympic Boulevard, you can see the Han River clearly from the ruins of Amsa-dong, and realize how the Han River could have become the home of the good people. The old pit houses lined up along the Han River. The value and significance of relics and relics are vividly revealed when they are originally located in the seat. The remains of Amsa-dong, which cannot feel the Han River, create regret and sadness. The undergrounding of the Olympic road in this section is likely to remain a responsibility for future generations when Korea becomes better off in the future. In a situation where it is difficult to change the structure of the Olympic Boulevard, it is a dark green road to show even a little connection between the ruins and the Han River. The green road takes a slight detour to connect the ruins with the Han River. However, it is not that difficult to reach the Han River from the ruins of Amsa-dong. Gwangnaru Park and Amsa Ecological Park are located on the side of the Han River, about five minutes' drive from the ruins. Once the Amsa Green Road is established, visitors can access the Han River from the ruins on foot. When you get to the side of the Han River, it feels like it's a waste to sell a little. Mount Achasan, where it is, comes close. Amsa Ecological Park is located at the point where the Han River grains. There are also two small loads in the park caused by deposits. Standing on an observation deck set up along the river, I looked at the area, and I thought that the Amsa-dong area, a shallow southern coast, was advantageous as a residence, and Achasan Mountain, a high-lying northern coast, would have been a defensive fortress. This is the historical geography of the Han River. Amsa Ecological Park was restored as a natural Hoan ecological space by removing concrete Hoan blocks and coastal bicycle paths built in the 1980s under the Han River Comprehensive Development Project. It is connected to Godeok Waterfront Ecological Park and Han River Waterfront in Hanam to form a large natural ecological space. In autumn, reeds form a large colony, and friendly wild plants grow just by the name of the Forest Service's protected plants, octopus legs, rat-drop vines, baby birds, jilgyeong taxi drivers, rope, corrugates, stealers, buddha flowers, and sparrows. On a spring day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, it was full of vitality from citizens who enjoyed sports and pretty fresh green. |
