Compare Between the Scenes of Teaching in South Korea and Vietnam in the Folk Painting

Abstract

Painting is one of the most important and popular forms of art. It serves not only as a means of appreciation but also as a document expressing of a local culture, a country, or a continent. This study selects two folk paintings: "Village School" by Kim Hong Do (1745-1806?) from the Danwon Folk Painting Collection - a Korean national treasure (number 527) dating back to the late Joseon period (1700~1850); and " Village School" by the Hồ, Hoàng, and Nguyễn families in Vietnam, created in 1440 during the Le so Dynasty. The objective is to explore the teaching and learning cultures of Korea and Vietnam, with a specific focus on the cultural aspects of Han character education in both countries.
