Description

One motif from Korea's religious traditions that is still most commonly employed and considered meaningful is the Ship-jangsaeng(Ten Symbols of Longevity). This set forms a very important part of the Korean decorative arts tradition, and was used on everything from folk paintings and folding screens to embroidered decorations on fabrics for all kinds of uses in daily aristocratic life. These days it is still frequently used, including on modern art products.

To enjoy a robustly healthy life in wise harmony with nature, in the beautiful actual places of this planet for as long as possible, even for hundreds of years if one attains the highest forms of enlightenment according to legends, is a key ideal throughout Korean culture. This is one of the supreme values of Chinese and Korean Daoism, standing in contrast to the otherworldly or afterlife obsessions of the religions that originated in the Middle East and South Asia. It is the main goal of Korea's indigenous Shinseon-sasang(Spirit-Immortal Ideology)that permeates and colors its Buddhism, Shamanism, Confucianism, folk-culture and other traditions.

The funny thing about the “10 symbols of longevity” is that there are now actually 12 of them, used in a variety of combinations on various artworks that can be found. The classical list of them, usually named in Chinese-character vocabulary, is:

Symbol

Korean word

Explanation

The sun

Hae

Mountains

Water

Su

Water, usually depicted in its moving forms such as

rivers, waves and waterfalls, is the Daoist symbol of

remain evergreen even in the winter, indicating

vitality and aristocratic dignity.

Mushroom of immortality

Bullcho

This mythical kind of mushroom is famous in

Daoism as “growing in the land of the immortals”

depicted as quite similar to the actual fungus that

grows on rotting logs known as Yeongji-beseot, a

valued and common ingredient in Oriental medicine

Turtles

Geobuk

Tortoises and sea-turtles are famous for living for

centuries throughout the Orient.

White cranes
