| Description |
English: Jeju Jeong-nang
The residents of Jeju Island did not require gates, but instead utilized long, horizontally placed wooden poles placed outside the entrances of their homes. These wooden poles are called Jeong-nang, and they are supported by two large vertical stone pillars which rest on either side of the homes entrance. The stone pillars support up to three horizontal Jeong-nang, and the number of Jeong-nang hung at the entrance signified different meanings. If one Jeong-nang is hung from the door, it means the residents of the home are away, but in a nearby area. If two are hung from the door, it means that the residents are traveling far from home. If three are hum from the door it means that the residents are traveling out of town and would not be returning home for a few days. Hanging Jeong-nang was a way for neighbors to communicate trust and information to each other, which was possible on Jeju Island because there are no beggars or thieves. |
