Gojoseon’s geum, the oldest brocade in East Asia

초록

JoYang, one of the capitals of GoJoseon, Korea’s first dynasty exposed the oldest Geum silk of the world, and its curve pattern was similar with curvatures on the colored pattern potteries or bronzes of HongSan GoJoseon culture among BalHae LiaoHo civilization. And the bold swirl patterns appeared at the tomb wall paintings of Goguryeo, later again. Geum fabrics of multi-warp colored stripes were popular and favorite trade item of JoYang from 9th century BC. GoJoseon people were fond of using opposite colors for separates, top and bottom Baji pants for horse riding people which is one of the most active styles in the world. Their color sense was outstanding and the color scheme used by the GoJoseon people handed down to the vibrant and complementary color scheme of Saekdong. Gorgeous curves in the patterns of wind, cloud, antlers and carnivorous animals deliver unique art sense and creativity, where patterns of carnivorous animals are known as the characteristics of north hunting races. These exquisite designs made by the skillful craftmanship highlight and represent the prosperity and elegant beauty of the GoJoseon people. © Rushing Water Publishers Ltd. 2019.
