Cheongsa chorong, the same color of MANNAM symbol!

On the way from work, I met this lovely scenery.


This is Cheongsa-chorong.
Cheongsa means blue thread and chorong means candle light and basket.
It was used by the king's eldest grandson in the late of Chosun kingdom.
People used it on wedding ceremony, Cheongsa-chorong means wedding.
The red represents yang and the blue represents yin.

Korean have believed that the harmony of yin and yang, which is the origin of the whole creation.
And they want to follow the laws of nature, set the cheongsa-chorong in wedding made blue and red.
 
The color of MANNAM symbol is blue and red, too!
 
The original symbol is right one. :)
Wedding is meeting of yin and yang. MANNAM means meeing in korean.
I realized it's very brilliant idea to compose this symbol with blue and red, only after seeing what the meaning of Cheongsa-chorong.
Besides, the center of the MANNAM logo is figure of handshake.
We can shake hands when we meet!
I like the vision of MANNAM.
 
MANNAM is the common ground on which all people of the world, irrespective of their
differences, can unite and work towards the goal of the world peace and a culture of
respect and tolerance through true volunteerism.

Not only written words, but also doing real thing!
There are so many culture classes, include korean class, for foreigners from all over the world, it's not for certain ethnic groups.
I wish the more people joined this fabulous organization, and made the world more peaceful!
