The collection of Tripitaka woodblocks stored at Haeinsa Temple (established 802) in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, was made during the Goryeo period (918–1392) under a national project that started in 1236 and took 15 years to complete. The collection is generally known by the name Palman Daejanggyeong, literally “the Tripitaka of 80,000 woodblocks,” as it consists of 81, 258 blocks of wood.
 
The Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks were made by the people of Goryeo who sought the Buddha’s magical power to repel the Mongol forces that had invaded and devastated their country in the 13th century. The Tripitaka Koreana is often compared with other Tripitaka editions produced by the Song, Yuan, and Ming
 
dynasties in China and has been highly praised for its richer and more complete content. The process of manufacturing the woodblocks played an important role in the development of printing and publication techniques in Korea.

Korean Birth Flowers | Which Flower Corresponds To Your Birthday

Find out what flower you are according to your birthdate and what it means!
 No matter where you live in the world, flowers & their symbolism are an important part of the culture of any country.
Flowers have a privileged position in most East Asain countries, especially in China, Japan and Korea. People in these countries believe flowers convey strong messages and play a meaningful part in the day to day folk life.
 Hence, they are considered a major part of their collective consciousness. Specifically, the Korean culture is one that is highly traditional in that regard. For example, S. Korea has it's own national flower - the mugunghwa or the rose of Sharon. It's an object of deep affection, meaning “eternal blossom that never fades,” it's been an important symbol of Korean culture for centuries.
 You might've also noticed that flowers are often gifts for almost every occasion. Idols(and people in general) gifting each other with flower wreaths or bouquets or getting them for major occasions such as wins of music shows aren't uncommon.
 Communal, secular and even religious festivals dominate the East Asain social life, especially in Korea and Japan. But in a culture that treasures family above all else, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, even funerals bring the family together and flowers usually play a big role in all of these occasions.
 Koreans believe that each flower has a meaning and a message that it conveys and there's a flower for every occasion: valentine's day, pepero day, a business success, easter, graduation etc.
 Considering all this, it's no surprise that Korea has also a flower for each person's birthday. The birth month flower or 탄생화 (read: tan saeng hwa), is a flower associated with your birth month.

In Korea, there is even more emphasis to  this, your birth flower corresponds to the day you were born, not just the month. There is a different flower for each day of the year and each one represents a different quality.
We've briefly summarized the meaning of each one for you, so check it out!
