What is Yeongdeok known for in Korean seafood culture?

Yeongdeok, a coastal county in North Gyeongsang Province, is well-known in Korean seafood culture for its snow crabs, or "daege." These crabs are appreciated for their sweet, tender meat and rich flavor, a result of the region’s cold, clean waters that provide an ideal habitat.

Yeongdeok’s reputation extends beyond the crabs themselves to the cultural practices associated with them. The annual Yeongdeok Snow Crab Festival highlights this connection, attracting visitors to enjoy crab-centered activities. The festival includes tasting freshly steamed crabs and engaging in traditional fishing experiences, offering insights into the local maritime heritage.

In addition, Yeongdeok’s seafood markets and restaurants cater to seafood enthusiasts with a variety of crab dishes. Whether in a spicy stew, grilled, or simply boiled with dipping sauces, snow crab dishes reflect the culinary skills and cultural traditions of Yeongdeok.

What was the Baekje Kingdom?

The Baekje Kingdom was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, alongside Goguryeo and Silla, and it played a significant role in the early history of the Korean Peninsula. Established in 18 BCE by King Onjo, a descendant of the legendary figure Jumong, Baekje was located in the southwestern part of the peninsula. Its capital eventually moved to Sabi (modern-day Buyeo) in 538 CE.

Baekje is noted for its cultural contributions and its role as a conduit for cultural exchange between Korea, China, and Japan. The kingdom facilitated the spread of Buddhism and Chinese culture and technology to Japan, influencing the development of Japanese civilization. Baekje’s artisans were known for their craftsmanship, producing pottery, sculptures, and architectural works that combined local and foreign elements.

The kingdom had a complex political system and engaged in trade and diplomacy with neighboring states. Despite its achievements, Baekje faced ongoing military threats from Goguryeo and Silla. In 660 CE, Baekje was conquered by a coalition of Silla and Tang Dynasty forces, ending its independence.

Today, the legacy of the Baekje Kingdom is preserved through historical sites and cultural festivals, such as the Buyeo National Heritage Night, which highlight the kingdom’s contributions to Korean and East Asian history.
