Confucian Ceremony, South Korea |

| Confucianism was the dominant philosophy of moral conduct in Korea from the 14th century until the early 20th century and the basis for Korean society and ideals. Today, only a tiny minority of the population of South Korea claims to follow this philosophy, although much of the country’s culture remains imbued with Confucian beliefs and practices. As the country modernizes and becomes increasingly materialistic, some South Koreans advocate a conscientious return to the values of Confucianism. Shown here is a Confucian ceremony at the Munmyo Shrine in Seoul. | ||||||
