Plowing the Soil

The soil should be plowed slowly. When done slowly, the soil becomes soft, and the ox does not tire. Spring and summer plowing should be shallow, and autumn plowing should be deep. For spring plowing, rake the soil right after it is plowed; for autumn plowing, wait for the soil to dry out and turn white, then rake. For dry fields, straw should be spread and burned after the first plowing. The fields will be naturally enriched after plowing again. For poor fields, plow and plant mung beans. When they become lush, turn over the soil as is. Then there will be no weeds and no insects, and barren soil will become fertile. When the ice thaws in the following year, plow once more and then sow. In general, when reclaiming uncultivated land, the first plowing should be deep and the second plowing should be shallow. If you first plow deeply and then shallowly, the subsoil/bedrock is not exposed, making the soil soft and fertile.

• Statement versus command
  • "Is" versus "should be"
• Misunderstanding of the meaning of topsoil/virgin soil, etc. 생땅/속땅 refers to the layers underneath the topsoil, though I am not sure whether is is subsoil (심토) or bedrock (기반암).
• There were a few cases where there was a translation in the Korean which carried onto the English which wasn't in the original text: like "whereas autumn plowing..." but there is no "whereas" in the original text I believe.
• There were also some cases of wordiness. I made the grammar more concise.
• Also, "wasteland" is not incorrect, but it also has the additional meaning of "industrial wasteland" or useless, dirty, unwanted. The phrase "uncultivated land" avoids this additional meaning.
• The part about he mungbeans was a bit unclear so I tried to rephrase it.

Key Words

• ox
• mung bean
• uncultivated land
• 생땅/속땅 (subsoil or bedrock)
• straw

  • 거친 밭은 녹두를 경작하여 무성해지기를 기다렸다가 갈아엎으면 잡초가 자라지 않고 벌레가 없어 척박한 토양이 변하여 좋아진다.

-Is there any difference between these words? plowing, sowing, planting, farming...

Discussion

• The word '生地' : 표토층 밑에 어느 정도 단단한 자연 지반. 한 번도 파헤친 적이 없는 원래 그대로의 굳은 땅. [북한어] 한 번도 거름을 주지 아니한 채로 있는 땅.

Top soil is a mistranslation of 生地. How about virgin soil?

• ○ 척박한 밭은 녹두를 심어 무성히 자라기를 기다렸다가 갈아서 엎어버리면 잡초가 자라지도 않고 벌레도 없어지며 척박한 토양이 비옥한 토양으로 변하게 된다.
• ○ 척박한 밭은 녹두를 심어 무성히 자라기를 기다렸다가 갈아서 엎어버리면 잡초가 자라지도 않고 벌레도 없어지며 척박한 토양이 비옥한 토양으로 변하게 된다.

Terminology

Student 5: 이창섭

Over all Discussion

• ○ 이 표기에 대한 정의가 필요할 듯 보입니다. 보통 이 표시는 원문의 문장의 시작과 끝을 나타내는 기호인데, 보통은 각 문단의 제목에는 안 붙습니다. 만약 제목과 원문의 차이를 두고 싶다면 다른 형태의 기호가 아니면 공백을 주어서 다른 표현을 해야 할 듯 보입니다.
• 땅갈이 표현에 대해서 한번 생각해 보아야 겠습니다. 본래 의미는 경작이 가능한 땅이란 의미지만, 내용은 경작하는 방법을 의미하니 "땅갈이 하는 법" 이라거나 "경작 하는 법"도 어떨가 생각해 봅니다.

Plowing Cow(耕牛,農牛) 耕耘機

The old units for measuring land area in Korea are Majigi and Harugali and Baemi. Those are written in Chinese characters as 斗落,日耕,夜味, but they should be on the basis of the idu 吏讀 pronunciation. In Chosŏn’s agriculture, the area that can be plowed by a cow a day is called Harugali (日耕). Majigiis(斗落) the land area where 4.8 kg of rice seeds can be sown. K.HM explains the relationship between ilgyŏng (日耕) and one majigi(斗落) in “MKD” as follows:

Those without oxen must hire nine laborers to pull the plow to get the power of one ox. They can plow and plant twenty tothirty du of seed in the field plowed by one ox a day.

K.HM deemed ilgyŏng(Harugali), the average farmland size in early Chosŏn, as 20-30 majigi based on the amount of seeds planted. It is equal to 4,000*3.3square meters. By quoting from ”MKD”, Farm Management Sallimgyŏngje, an agricultural book published in the late Chosŏn, explains that one paemi is the area that can be plowed in one day by a single horse and where 20-30 mal of seeds can be sown. Yu Hyŏngwŏn(柳馨遠: 1622-1673) explained that the area of 70 mǔ (畝, 193.3 square meters) is equivalent to one qǐng (頃) in the old system of China and this is the minimum area where 26 to 27 mal of rice can be sown. 舍音。訓마름。夜味。訓밤이 莊客之謂舍音，田畦之謂夜味，準以方言，當云末音ㆍ裵味 與猶堂全書補遺 餛飩錄 餛飩錄 四

Identifying the relationship between the land area unit of Chosŏn and that of China, he also explains that 70 mǔ, or one qǐng is the minimum area needed for a farmer to effectively cultivate. In the case of the ancient Xia,Yin, and Zhou dynasties, there was a change in the measurementsover time. The appropriate area for farmers to cultivate was 50 mǔ and 70 mǔ in Xia and Yin, respectively. In Zhou Dynasty, 100 mu was equivalent to one qǐng, widened to sow 40 mal of seeds. At his time, 100mǔ was an area where 80 mal of seeds, twice as many as in 100 mǔ or oneqǐng in Zhou Dynasty, could be sown. Therefore, four ilgyŏng (日耕) is equivalent to one qǐng. In “MKD” published in the early Chosŏn Dynasty, the area where 20 to 30 mal of seeds can be sown is considered as oneilgyŏng of field, so the land area of the early Chosŏn is similar to that of the Xia Dynasty. Yu Hyŏngwŏn says that the quantity of the seeds that can be planted either in 10 majigi of paddy field or 1 ilgyŏng of field is 20 mal. According to him, 10 majigi of rice paddy equals one ilgyŏng of fields, where 20 mal of rice plants can be sown. Tasan says that the power of eight people is required to farm 100 mǔ, or one qǐng, so if a husband and wife couple properly form a patriarchal family, they receive 25 myo of farmland. He adds that it requires eight people to cultivate 100 myo. According to Tasan, 1 ilgyŏng plowed by a cow equates to the manpower of seven to nine people, as seen in “MKD”. Therefore, 100 mǔ, or one qǐng can be counted as 1 ilgyŏng plowed by a cow. According to Tasan, for the purposes of taxation, men of 20 to 60 years of age and women of 20 to 50 years of age should be recorded as vigorous youths, and farmers should be taxed by converting the labor of eight men into 100 myo. Thus, the plowing of cattle has an indispensable relationship with the physiocracy of Chosŏn society. F.H King, an American agriculturist at the end of the 19th century, also recorded cow plowing as a signature characteristic of Korean farming. He says that Korean farming is characterized by mixed cropping and intercropping, mostly with soy beans, by making a narrow dam in a rice field or a paddy, and plowing with two cows. Having observed that horses plowed in Japan while two cows did the job in Korea, he left the following remark:

“Here in Japan the plowing wasbeing done mostly with horses instead of the heavy bullocks so exclusively employed in Korea. Coming from China into Korea, and from there into Japan, it appeared very clear that in agricultural methods and appliances the Koreans and Japanese are more closely similar than the Chinese and Koreans, and the more we came to see of the Japanese methods the more strongly the impression became fixed that the Japanese had derived their methods either from the Koreans or the Koreans had taken theirs more largely from Japan than from China.

Why is Western punctuation used in Chinese writing?

During the late 1910s, there is a movement called New Culture Movement, and a major goal of it is to teach everyone to read and write. The Classical Chinese was too hard for people to read, and lacking punctuation is one of the difficulties. On 29 November, 1919, Ma Yuzao and other 5 person submitted a proposal of calling for using modern punctuation system, which mixed classical and Western punctuations. Outline of History of Chinese Philosophy (中國哲學史大綱) by Hu Shi (胡適) is the first work applying this punctuation system. [2]

Punctuation marks and Typographic styles used in Classical Chinese Textbooks

• ，(逗號/Dòu hào) is a comma.
• 。(句號/jù hào) is a full stop, equivalent to a period in Western punctuation.
• 、(顿號/dùn hào) is an enumerated comma, used when listing things in sentences.
• ？(問號/wèn hào) is a question mark
• ！(感歎號/jīng tàn hào) is an exclamation mark
• ；(分號/fēn hào) is a semicolon
• ：(冒號/mào hào) is a colon
• 「...」/ “...” (引号/yǐn hào) are both used for quotation marks.
• ____ (專名號/zhuān míng hào) Proper name mark (underline)
• ﹏﹏ (書名號/shū míng hào) Title mark (wavy underline)

But centuries of practice had taught the Far East farmers that the culture and use of these crops are essential to enduring fertility, and so in each of the three countries the growing of legumes in rotation with other crops very extensively for the express purpose of fertilizing the soil is one of their old, fixed practices.
