**5. Cultural Analysis of Your Country- Claire Jung**
__**//Art//**__ The artworks of Sandia are often sculpture made up of dirt, or landscapes. Sandia has the perfect scenery for painting landscapes, but this is what conservative and dull people like to do. More modernized Sandians enjoy making sculpture out of dirt. They also enjoy pottery, which they decorate by making wrought scratches. The decorations are usually woman’s body figure drawn abstract or daily lives, such as farmers working in the fields. Sandia believes strongly in humanism, affecting artworks like pottery to be decorated with human figures.

Sandia has lots of crops like barley, wheat, corn, and potatoes because of the vast land we have. One of the most famous foods from Sandia is corn cake. Since farmers can’t afford high quality food, they have to eat corn cake because there are abundant of them. Another famous food from Sandia is mash potatoes. Sandians often enjoy mash potatoes with sugar or salt instead of gravy.

__//**National Sport**//__ The vast land of Sandia has made Sandians to play sports that require an enormous amount of running. The National Sport of Sandia is Sand Ball. Sand Ball was invented from Sandia from few Sandians that later developed to be known as Sand Ball. Sand Ball is where 3 people in each team uses 1km x l km area and the offense team with a ball. The person with the ball is the leader. In the middle of the playing area, there is a little square where one guard from the defense team is guarding. The goal of the offense team is to step the square area before their leader gets caught. The offense team loses when the leader gets caught or when all team members are tagged.

__//**Language**//__ Sandia’s national language is Scandinan. Scandinan has three tones similar to Chinese: flat, up and down. It has 31 alphabetical orders that form basic sounding. Although Scandinan uses alphabets, it is not read exactly the same as English. For example, the ‘q’ sound produces a ‘ch’ sound for Scandinan.

__//**Myth**//__ Sandia has a long history that climbs back up to over 700 years ago. Due to the fear of war, the ancestors of Sandia established Sandia where mountains were around and isolated itself for 175 years. During the isolation, the elders of Sandia feared that Sandians have become lazy and too peaceful. They thought they should scare Sandians so that they can be prepared for any battle or any war that comes to Sandia. The elders wore armors and held torches, pretending to be like soldiers that came to have war on Sandia. This alarmed the Sandians creating unification among all Sandians to defeat the soldiers. So every New Year, male Sandians wear armors to recall Sandians the day of unification. The female Sandians hang up red lamps in hope for victory. The act of hanging up the red lantern also unifies all houses in Sandia creating nationalism.

__//**Holidays**//__ Since Sandia has a long history, there are lots of myths passed down that lead to the creation of a holiday. One of the oldest holidays is Pyung- Qi, which is Sandian thanksgiving. It is on October 11th when all the cropping is done. On this day, Sandians wear a straw hat in gratitude of the god of the crop, Clisovey. Sandians then scatter grains on the front porch of their house and wish for good crops the next year. The famous Sandian corn cakes and pumpkin pies are served during this day. Another famous holiday is the Ka-Hoot. Ka-Hoot actually means ‘kind children’ in Scandinan. Ka-Hoot is in March 8th, when winter is over and is springtime. On this day, elementary schools are closed down and sent home. The children then go to each other’s houses and helps the adults plant young rice plants. Then the group moves to other houses helping them as well. After the day is over, each children receives presents from their parents. The gifts are usually a leather necklace with tiny pink envelopes attached to it. In the tiny pink envelope, there is a rice seed that if you keep it until Pyung-Qi and scatter it with all the other grains, it will bring peace and wealth to that family. If the child has succeeded in keeping the rice seed until Pyung-Qi, the child is rewarded with meat and nice clothing.
