안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘은 한국의 독특한 전통 음식, 미역국에 대해 이야기해 볼게요. 혹시 한국 사람들이 생일날 꼭 미역국을 먹는 이유를 들어본 적 있나요? 이 음식은 단순한 국이 아니라, 깊은 문화적 의미와 역사를 담고 있답니다.

먼저, 미역국의 기원을 살펴볼게요. 옛날, 삼국시대 때 고구려 사람들이 고래가 출산 후 미역을 먹는 모습을 관찰했다고 해요. 고래들이 미역을 통해 건강을 회복하는 것을 보고, 사람들도 출산 후에 미역을 먹기 시작했죠. 미역은 철분과 칼슘이 풍부해서 산모의 회복을 돕는 음식으로 자리 잡았습니다.

그런데 이 전통이 발전하면서 생일 문화와도 연결되었어요. 생일날 미역국을 먹는 건 자신을 낳아주신 어머니를 기리고, 그분의 희생에 감사하는 의미예요. 그래서 한국 사람들에게 생일날 미역국은 꼭 먹어야 하는 상징적인 음식이 되었죠.

재미있는 점은, 미역국과 관련된 속어도 있다는 거예요. 한국에서는 "미역국을 먹다"라는 표현이 실패를 뜻하기도 해요. 미역이 미끄러운 식감을 가지고 있기 때문에, 기회가 미끄러지듯 사라졌다는 의미에서 나온 표현이죠. 그리고 아주 독특한 욕도 있는데요, 바로 “너네 엄마가 널 낳고 먹은 미역국이 아깝다”라는 말이에요. 이건 "엄마의 고생이 헛되었다"는 뜻인데, 절대 사용하지 않는 게 좋겠죠? 😅

여러분의 나라에도 생일이나 출산 후 먹는 특별한 음식이 있나요? 아니면 실패를 표현하는 독특한 말이 있다면 공유해 주세요!

   你不是你的情绪，你不是你的认知，你不是你的过去，你也不是你的将来。那...你是什么？其实就是一个非常好的一个课题。我相信对任何一个人也是，每一个人都会有开心的时候，有难过的时候，其实他的这样的一个方式，其实让你在很轻松的一种状态里面能够跳出来，可能你会找回一些更多属于自己的力量。有时候犯个小小的错误也挺好挺可爱的，这就是人生吧。

You are not your emotions, you are not your cognition, you are not your past, and you are not your future. So... what are you? It's a very good subject actually. . . I believe that it suits anyone. Everyone has happy times and sad times. In fact, this allows you to jump out of a very relaxed state of mind. Maybe you will gain more strength within yourself. Sometimes it's nice and cute to make some small mistakes. This is life,isn’t it?

TÜRK ŞİFASI  ZAMANI: Turkic Herbal Tea! BÖĞÜRTLEN

“ I actually just finished a wonderful engrossing book just last week, which I couldn’t put down for a moment, and read from cover to cover in just two days. The book was an autobiography on a very famous musician and member of one of the most famous rock bands in history, the Rolling stones….

 

It was one of my friends who is also interested in music recommended the book to me, as he knew I am a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. That evening I checked out reviews for the book online and everyone was giving it a 5 star rating, so it was off to the bookshop for me to pick up a copy as quickly as I could. 

 

The book basically tells the life story of a music legend from his time growing up as a young child in England in the 1950s to becoming a rock legend, and a founding member of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It really gave an incredible insight into his life, from a very humble beginning to becoming a megastar. It certainly was not heavy reading, and the author’s sense of humour actually made it light reading.

 

The reasons I really loved this book so much apart from being a lifetime fan of the central character, were firstly…. It gave me an amazing insight into the real life of a rockstar, which was actually very thought provoking…….I also found it very inspiring and uplifting….to discover how this young boy from a very normal background believed in his dreams, and stopped at nothing to achieve them….and of course the crazy journey of a rock star along the way…So….yes…..It really was one of those books that i just couldn’t put down, and would have no hesitation in recommending  to anyone.
