North Korea was founded on September 9, 1948, and the entire country covers an area of nearly 130,000 square kilometers, about 12.3 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of Fujian.
Fujian has an area of 124,000 square kilometers, and the total population of North Korea is about 25.5 million people, and the population of Fujian is double that of North Korea.
The main religion in Korea is "Tendo-ji", which was originally called Donggaku, and the name originates from "Although the Tao is a heavenly way, learning is Dongxue".
When you hear this name, it must be related to our great China, yes, when Cui Jiyu founded "Dongxue" in 1860, he absorbed Chinese culture and combined it with local culture.
The third generation of sect leader Sun Bingxi officially renamed "Dongxue" to "Tiandaojiao" in 1905 and re-expanded the teachings.
This doctrine also sounds quite a bit like a fantasy novel, that is, "confucian ethics, Buddha's consciousness, immortal nourishment."
As soon as I listened, I knew that this doctrine was integrated with the cultural connotation of our "Confucianism and Taoism".
Mulan is the national flower of North Korea.
Pine tree is the national tree of North Korea. In North Korea, the distribution of pine trees is very extensive; they believe that pine trees originated in North Korea, and as for the origin of this question, I have checked it, but I am still confused and cannot be sure.
The Toyoyama Inu is the national dog of Korea, named after kim hyung-gwang-gun in Gwangjeon-gun, which was called Toyoyama-gun in ancient times.
The Toyoyama dog is cute, the tail is usually rolled upwards, and the coat color is generally pure white and chestnut yellow
The tail is rolled upwards, and the coat is white and also chestnut yellow. Good quality Fengshan dog, the price can reach tens of thousands of yuan.
The goshawk is the national bird of North Korea, and in North Korea, there are goshawks in various places large and small.
North Koreans enjoy four major welfare policies: 12 years of compulsory education, free medical care, retirement pensions, and housing distribution.
However, free education in North Korea actually has another side of the contradiction.
The state financial investment is so much that it is not enough to support the school, although the regulations can not charge tuition, but it does not say that it is not possible to collect goods.
Therefore, students have to donate goods to schools, older schools, to donate equipment; some schools in remote areas, they have to donate some firewood, cow dung and so on.
Converted down, the value of the items that a student has to donate every month is almost close to two hundred yuan.
These two hundred yuan is only a meal for us, but in some parts of North Korea, it is a big expense.
There is another side to North Korea's free medical care, where many medicines are scarce because of long-standing sanctions.
There are some scarce drugs that still need to be paid, and the price is usually three or four times the normal price.
Housing in North Korea is allocated free of charge, but it is also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
Upscale communities are assigned to tech workers, professors, reputable actors, and people who have made meritorious achievements.
The housing of the high-end community is more than 100 square meters, the houses are well decorated, the furniture and appliances are readily available, and it is completely a bag to move in.
However, the people who live in it only have the right to use, and they will not live in this suite for a lifetime, and they will either change to a better house or move elsewhere according to the actual situation.
Assigned to your house, you can carry out renovations or you can replace appliances.
However, if you move out, you can't ask for decoration fees from the next one, except for the home appliances you buy yourself can take away, and the public things can't be moved.
As for the ordinary family, the houses usually allocated are old houses built in the 70s and 80s or 1960s.
Women in North Korea call men "pants," and in North Korea, if a man asks you "do you have pants," it means asking you "if you have a girlfriend."
In North Korea, there are three types of "pants" that are not popular:
1, old pants: divorced once;
2, torn pants: divorced twice;
3, bad pants: divorced at least three times.
Because north Korea's divorce rate is particularly low, once married, two couples rarely divorce.
The reason why divorce is rare is mainly because society is more traditional and conservative, and marriage is regarded as a very sacred thing, and once married, it must be responsible.
In addition, there are three kinds of "pants" that are very popular with North Korean women:
1. Party pants: As the name suggests, it is a member of the Workers' Party of Korea;
2, military pants: that is, soldiers;
3. Pants: Men with high academic qualifications.
If it is still a "long pants", that is, it is relatively tall, it is even more popular.
So, what do men call women?
Because women usually wear skirts, they use the term "skirt" to refer to it.
Marrying a girl is almost a bride price, and the woman will even give a dowry.
In the fifties and sixties, it was mainly arranged marriages; but now, free love has also begun.
When two people are in love, they usually hold hands, and they do not live together before marriage.
After marriage, couples can apply for housing allocation.
There is no concept of commercial housing in North Korea, and renting a house is also not a thing, so once the divorce indicates that both husband and wife, there will be a person who does not have a house to live in, which is also a reason for the low divorce rate.
However, if we want to marry a North Korean girl, although we do not have to spend a bride price, it is still a relatively difficult thing.
The DPRK side does not approve of transnational marriage, and once it marries a man from another country privately, it is a big deal, and it will be punished with "treason" if it is not good.
Internet access is a luxury because it is expensive. Moreover, the state's control over the Internet is very strict, so ordinary North Koreans generally use the domestic local area network.
Although the popularity of mobile phones in North Korea has been high in the past two years, most people only use it to make phone calls or text messages.
Mobile phone traffic is a luxury, and 10G of traffic a month is almost close to a hundred dollars.
Relatively speaking, phone calls and texting are very civilian.
In general, North Koreans handle a mobile phone package that includes 200 minutes of free calls and 20 free text messages.
After more than 200 minutes, each minute of the call is 4 facing circles, and the SMS is 2 facing circles (our 1 yuan is equivalent to 150 facing circles)
Although North Korea launched an online shopping website called Yuliu in 2015, a state-run shopping site with a wide range of goods.
You can buy cosmetics, food, and daily necessities; you can also buy some light industrial products.
However, ordinary people in North Korea rarely use this website, first, the logistics are not developed, sending and receiving goods is very slow; the second is that the Internet is indeed too expensive, and the traffic cannot be hurt.
In addition, this "Yuliu" shopping website is not open to foreigners, that is to say, foreigners in North Korea cannot log on to this website.
Moreover, the mobile phone signals used by North Koreans and foreigners are not on the same network, that is, North Koreans and foreigners in North Korea cannot call each other.
Overall, North Korea is more like our country in the early 1990s.
