In 1700s Joseon-era South Korea, daily life and leisure activities were closely tied to class, Confucian values, the seasons, and rural life. Here's an overview of common activities people might engage in:

Commoners (Peasants, Artisans, Merchants): Daily Life: Farming & fishing – Most peasants worked in rice paddies, fields, or along rivers and coasts. Crafting goods – Artisans made pottery, tools, clothing, and paper. Selling at markets – Merchants and women often traded food, textiles, and household items. Festivals (Jeongwol Daeboreum, Dano, Chuseok) – Dancing, singing, and group meals. Pansori performances – Musical storytelling with a singer and drummer. Gambling (illegally) – Dice games or card games, despite Confucian discouragement. Daily Life: Studying Confucian classics – Preparing for or conducting civil service duties. Writing poetry and calligraphy – Core scholarly pursuits. Attending or hosting salons (사당, sadang) – Gatherings for philosophical debate or literature readings. Leisure & Cultural Activities: Tea drinking and poetry writing in pavilions or gardens. Mostly women: Embroidery, weaving, sewing. Participating in seasonal or village events. Religious practices – Visiting shamanistic shrines or Buddhist temples (especially among commoner women). Storytelling, singing, games with other women and children. Children: Top spinning (팽이치기), kite flying (연날리기), hide-and-seek, and stick throwing (tuho, 투호). Helping in the fields or shops. Learning at village schools (seodang, 서당) – Boys mainly. Poor houses in 1788s Joseon Korea—typically rural peasant homes—were very simple, practical, and made from readily available local materials. Here’s what they generally looked like: Structure & Materials: Size: Small—usually 1 to 2 rooms total. Walls: Made of wattle and daub (woven sticks covered with a mix of mud and straw), or sometimes mud bricks. Roof: Thatched with rice straw (초가, choga). This was the main visual sign of poverty, as richer homes had tiled roofs. Floor: Ondol (온돌) system: heated floor using smoke from the kitchen fire directed under the floor—clever and energy-efficient. The rest of the floor was packed earth or occasionally wooden planks. Interior Features: Minimal furniture: Maybe a small chest or table. People sat and slept on the floor using mats (돗자리) and bedding (요, 이불) that could be rolled up. Kitchen: Often part of the same room or a small annex. Had a wood-fired hearth (agungi, 아궁이) with pots for cooking. Lighting: Oil lamps or candles, but often very limited at night. No windows or just small paper-covered wooden slats to keep out wind. Outside Area: Yard (마당, madang): Dirt yard, maybe enclosed by stone or thatch fencing. Used for storing firewood, drying vegetables, or raising chickens. Toilet: A simple outhouse or pit some distance from the main house. Storage: Clay jars for storing fermented foods (kimchi, soybean paste, etc.) were kept outside. Lived Experience: Families were large, so several generations might crowd into one or two rooms. Life was seasonal: activities changed with farming needs, and homes were adapted for harsh winters and humid summers. Women did chores like cooking and textile work, while men farmed or worked in the fields.
