One with Nature

The Land of the Morning Light places great value on living in harmony with nature. Becoming one with the natural world is considered a virtue, and many buildings are therefore raised in places where the surrounding scenery can be fully enjoyed. Resting within them is said to make one feel as though they have become part of nature itself. It is said that a Do wielder once arrived on Cheongsa Island during his training, composed a poem beneath the blue sky, and departed content. The children here still sing its verses as a song. "Fallen blossoms drift this way - a paradise must be near. Creak and pull, creak and pull - heave away!"
