Etymology
The name Шаблон:Transliteration derives from the Korean word for "stone" (Шаблон:Korean), plus the Jeju dialect word hareubang (Шаблон:Korean), meaning "grandfather" or "senior" (Шаблон:Korean in Standard Korean), and was coined in the mid-20th century. Other earlier names for the statues include Шаблон:Transliteration, Шаблон:Transliteration, and Шаблон:Transliteration. Шаблон:Transliteration, meaning shaman head, is used in the former area of Jeongui Hyeon (county), Шаблон:Transliteration in Daejeong Hyeon and Jeongui Hyeon, and Шаблон:Transliteration only in Jeju Hyeon. Historically, the Tamna Chronicles called them Шаблон:Transliteration (Шаблон:Korean), but this usage is unknown today.
History
There are two main theories as to the origin of Шаблон:Transliteration: either that they were introduced by visitors from the sea, or that they are a counterpart to the jangseungs (totem poles) of mainland Korea.Шаблон:Citation needed Шаблон:Transliteration are also called Шаблон:Transliteration in southern Korea, and this similarity with the name Шаблон:Transliteration lends credence to the second theory.
According to the Шаблон:Transliteration, a work dealing with the geography of Jeju Island, the first dolhareubang was manufactured in 1754.[1] Шаблон:Transliteration produced from 1763 to 1765 once stood outside the eastern, western, and southern gates of the Jeju City fortress as guardian deities.
Dol hareubangs today
Шаблон:Transliteration have become the symbol of Jeju Island, and replicas of various sizes are sold as tourist souvenirs. The statues are sometimes sold as sources of fertility, and small replicas are sometimes given to women for fertility. The origin of this may have more to do with Jeju Island's present-day status as a "honeymoon island" than tradition.
