"Moogunghwa (Rose of Sharon) is much loved as the national flower of Korea, because it symbolizes the strong and simple spirit of the Korean people which has endured the nations' long and often difficult history" (Korea 1). Korea is known as the "Land of the Morning Calm". The beauty that can be found in Korea's culture can be seen in the people's attire and masks, religion and rites of passage, and its arts, crafts, and music.
