Literature

Do A contraction of ditto, which is the Italian détto (said), Latin dictus.
How do you do? i.e. How do you fare? It should be, How do you du (Anglo-Saxon, dug-an = valere); in Latin, Quomodo vales.
Well to do. This, again, is not the transitive verb (facre) but the intransitive verb (valere), and means "well to fare." (Anglo-Saxon. dug-an = valere.
To do him, i.e. cheat or trick a person out of something
I have done the Jew, i.e. over-reached him. The same as outdo = excel.
Do (to rhyme with go). The first or tonic note of the solfeggio system of music.
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, Italian; ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la, French. The latter are borrowed from a hymn by Paulus Piaconus, addressed to St. John, which Guido, in the eleventh century, used in teaching singing:
"Ut queant laxis, Re -sonare fibris,
Mi -ra gestorum Fa -muli tuorum,
Sol -ve pollutis La -biis reatum."
Sanctë Joannës.
Ut -tered be thy wondrous story,
Re -prehensive though I be,
Me make mindful of thy glory,
Fa -mous son of Zacharee;
Sol -ace to my spirit bring,
La -bouring thy praise to sing.
E.C.B.

Specialty Definition: Do

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Do can refer to:

  1. the Chinese character 道 (Pinyin: dào; Wade-Giles: tao⁴), which is pronounced dō in Japanese and do (도) in Korean. It means "road," "way," "Daoism," "province," and "circuit."
    1. In Korea, Do is the designation for "province," as in Gyeonggi-do (경기도; 京畿道). See Provinces of Korea.
    2. In Japan, Dō means "circuit," when used in the name of Hokkaido (北海道) prefecture. See Prefectures of Japan.
    3. In Japan, the character also means "road," as in Tokaido (東海道) and Nakasendo (中山道).
    4. It is used as a suffix for various arts and implies that they are not just techniques but have spiritual elements. For example, Japanese tea ceremony is called "Sado" (茶道) and flower arrangement is called "Kado" (華道). Since the Meiji era, Japanese martial artists have adopted this suffix for names of martial arts such as Aikido, Judo and Kendo. This convention was introduced to Korea, but not to China, with martial arts themselves during the Japanese rule so that the suffix can be found in Taekwondo.
  2. the Chinese character 島 (Pinyin: dǎo; Wade-Giles: tao³), which is pronounced do in Korean and means "island". It used in the names of Korean islands (e.g., Ganghwa-do (강화도; 江華島), and Ulleung-do (울릉도; 鬱陵島). Note that "Jeju-do" transliterates two distinct Korean terms: "Jeju Province" (제주도; 濟州道) and "Jeju Island" (제주도; 濟州島).
  3. In solfege, do is the name of the first note of the scale.
  4. In English, do is a verb whose use as an auxiliary verb is often grammatically required for negation and for interrogative sentences.
  5. do is the ISO country code for the Dominican Republic
  6. Dornier (Do) aircraft

Provinces of Korea

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

(Note: This page is currently under construction. Some information below is incomplete, and some material is duplicated.... This will be fixed shortly.)

This article describes the historical evolution of Korea's provinces (Do; (도 道). For detailed information on current administrative divisions, please see Administrative divisions of Korea.

Provinces (Do) have been the primary administrative division of Korea since the early 11th century, and were preceded by provincial-level divisions (Ju and Mok) dating back to the late 7th century.

Historical summary

During the Unified Silla Period (AD 668-935), Korea was divided into nine Ju (주; 州), an old word for "province" that was used to name both the kingdom's provinces and its provincial capitals. (The editor's Cantonese-English dictionary translates 州 variously as "prefecture" or "department.")

After Goryeo defeated Silla and Later Baekje in 935 and 936 respectively, the new kingdom "was divided into one royal district [(Ginae; 기내; 畿內) and twelve administrative districts [(Mok; 목; 牧)]" (Nahm 1988), which were soon redivided into ten provinces (Do). In 1009 the country was again redivided, this time into one royal district, five provinces (Do) and two frontier districts (Gye; 계; 界?). The name and concept of Do originated from the Chinese Dao.

After the Joseon Dynasty's rise to power and the formation of Joseon in 1392, the country was redivided into eight new provinces (Do) in 1413. The provincial boundaries closely reflected major regional and dialect boundaries, and are still often referred to in Korean today simply as the Eight Provinces (Paldo). In 1896 (a year before the country became the Korean Empire), five of the eight provinces were divided into north and south halves (Bukdo (북도; 北道) and Namdo (남도; 南道) respectively), giving a total of thirteen Do. The provincial boundaries remained unchanged throughout the Japanese Colonial Period.

With the surrender of Japan in 1945, the Korean peninsula was divided into Soviet (northern) and American (southern) zones of occupation, with the dividing line established along the 38th parallel. (See Division of Korea for more details.) As a result, three provinces--Hwanghae, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon (Kangwŏn)--were divided into Soviet- and American-occupied halves.

In 1946, in the southern half of the country, the newly formed Jeju Province was split off from South Jeolla Province. In 1948, the countries of North and South Korea gained independence. There were total of fourteen Do between the two countries, including the three provinces straddling the 38th parallel. During the same period, the southern cities of Seoul and Busan became Special Cities.

At the end of the Korean War (1950-1953), a new boundary between North and South Korea was established along the Demilitarized Zone, which cuts across the 38th parallel at an acute angle from southwest to northeast. Hwanghae Province now fell wholly within North Korea, while Gyeonggi and Gangwon (Kangwŏn) Provinces remained split between North and South.

In the same year (1953), the North Korean provinces were redivided. The North Korean section of Gyeonggi Province was redesignated a special city (Kaesŏng), along with P'yŏngyang and Ch'ŏngjin (which is no longer a special city). The North Korean section of Kangwŏn Province was expanded to include the southern part of South Hamgyŏng. Hwanghae was divided into north and south halves. Two new provinces--Chagang and Yanggang--were created from the inland sections of North P'yŭngan and North Hamg'yŏng Provinces respectively.

Since 1953, provincial boundaries in both the North and South have remained unchanged. New cities and special administrative regions have been created, however, since then: see Special cities of Korea for their history. For a comprehensive description of Korea's provinces and special cities today, please see Administrative divisions of Korea.

Provinces of Unified Silla

In AD 660, the southeastern kingdom of Silla conquered Baekje in the southwest, and in 668, Silla conquered Goguryeo in the north with the help of China's Tang Dynasty (see also Three Kingdoms of Korea). For the first time, most of the Korean peninsula was ruled by a single power. Silla's northern boundary ran through the middle of southern Goguryeo, from the Taedong River (which flows through P'yŏngyang) in the west to Wŏnsan in modern-day Kangwŏn Province in the east. In 721, Silla solidifed its northern boundary with Barhae (Bohai) (which replaced Goguryeo in the north) by building a wall between P'yŏngyang and Wŏnsan.

The country's capital was Geumseong (modern-day Gyeongju), and sub-capitals were located at Geumgwan-gyeong (Gimhae), Namwon-gyeong, Seowon-gyeong (Cheongju), Jungwon-gyeong (Chungju), and Bugwon-gyeong (Wonju).

The country was divided into 9 provinces (Ju): 3 in the pre-660 territory of Silla, and 3 each in the former kingdoms of Baekje and Goguryeo.

The table below lists the three preceding kingdoms, each province's name in the Roman alphabet, Hangeul, and Hanja, as well as the provincial capital, and the equivalent modern-day province.

Provinces of Goryeo

In 892, Gyeonhwon founded the kingdom of Later Baekje in southwestern Silla, and in 918, Wanggeon (King Taejo) established the kingdom of Goryeo in the northwest, with its capital at Songak (modern-day Kaesŏng). In 935, Goryeo conquered the remnants of Silla, and in 936, it conquered Later Baekje. Songak was greatly expanded and renamed Gaegyeong. Taejo expanded the country's territory by conquering part of the land formerly belonging to Goguryeo, in the northwest of the Korean peninsula, as far north as the Yalu (Amnok) River. A wall was constructed from the Yalu (Amnok) River in the northwest to East Sea (Sea of Japan) in the southeast, on the boundary between Goryeo and the northeastern Jurched territory.

The country had one capital (Gaegyeong) and three sub-capitals: Donggyeong (modern-day Gyeongju and the former capital of Silla), Namgyeong (modern-day Seoul), and Seogyeong (modern-day P'yŏngyang).

Originally, the country had one royal district (Ginae; 기내; 畿內) around Gaegyeong and twelve administrative districts (Mok; 목; 牧): (Note that Gwangju-mok is modern-day Gwangju in Gyeonggi Province, not the larger Gwangju Metropolitan City.)

The twelve districts were soon redivided into ten provinces (Do; 도; 道). Gwannae-do included the administrative districts of Yangju, Hwangju, Gwangju, and Haeju; Jungwon-do included Chungju and Cheongju; Hanam-do replaced Gongju; Gangnam-do replaced Jeonju; Yeongnam-do replaced Sangju; Sannam-do replaced Jinju; and Haeyang-do replaced Naju and Seungju; the three other new provinces were Yeongdong-do, Panbang-do, and Paeseo-do.

Finally, in 1009, the ten provinces were again redivided, this time into five provinces (Do) and two frontier districts (Gye; 계; 界?).

The table below lists the provinces of Silla, the administrative districts of Goryeo that replaced them, then the pre- and post-1009 provinces, as well as their modern equivalents. (Sources: Nahm 1988; [1] (in Korean); [1] (in Korean).)

Provinces of Joseon

Provinces of the Korean Empire

Provinces of North Korea

(Main article: Administrative divisions of Korea)

The North Korean portion of Gyeonggi Province eventually became today's Kaesŏng Industrial Region. The North Korean section of Kangwŏn was expanded to include part of South Hamgyŏng. In 1982, Hwanghae was split into North and South Hwanghae Provinces. Also in 1982, the new province of Chagang was formed from the eastern part of North P'yŏngan, while Yanggang Province was formed from parts of North and South Hamgyŏng Provinces. In addition to Kaesŏng, the cities of P'yŏngyang, Namp'o, Rasŏn (Rajin-Sŏnbong), Shinŭiju, and Ch'ŏngjin and the tourist region of Kŭmgang-san have all attained provincial-level status as self-governing cities or special administrative regions, although Ch'ŏngjin has since reverted to being part of North Hamgyŏng Province.

Listed below are the modern provinces of North Korea, with the following information:

Provinces of South Korea

(Main article: Administrative divisions of Korea)

Provinces in South Korea have not been reorganized the way they have been in the North; the main change has been the creation of Special Cities and Metropolitan Cities--cities with the same status as provinces. Today (2003), there are seven such cities: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Ulsan.

Listed below are the modern provinces of South Korea, with the following information:

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

INSURANCE, n. An ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table. INSURANCE AGENT: My dear sir, that is a fine house -- pray let me insure it. HOUSE OWNER: With pleasure. Please make the annual premium so low that by the time when, according to the tables of your actuary, it will probably be destroyed by fire I will have paid you considerably less than the face of the policy. INSURANCE AGENT: O dear, no -- we could not afford to do that. We must fix the premium so that you will have paid more. HOUSE OWNER: How, then, can I afford that? INSURANCE AGENT: Why, your house may burn down at any time. There was Smith's house, for example, which -- HOUSE OWNER: Spare me -- there were Brown's house, on the contrary, and Jones's house, and Robinson's house, which -- INSURANCE AGENT: Spare me! HOUSE OWNER: Let us understand each other. You want me to pay you money on the supposition that something will occur previously to the time set by yourself for its occurrence. In other words, you expect me to bet that my house will not last so long as you say that it will probably last. INSURANCE AGENT: But if your house burns without insurance it will be a total loss. HOUSE OWNER: Beg your pardon -- by your own actuary's tables I shall probably have saved, when it burns, all the premiums I would otherwise have paid to you -- amounting to more than the face of the policy they would have bought. But suppose it to burn, uninsured, before the time upon which your figures are based. If I could not afford that, how could you if it were insured? INSURANCE AGENT: O, we should make ourselves whole from our luckier ventures with other clients. Virtually, they pay your loss. HOUSE OWNER: And virtually, then, don't I help to pay their losses? Are not their houses as likely as mine to burn before they have paid you as much as you must pay them? The case stands this way: you expect to take more money from your clients than you pay to them, do you not? INSURANCE AGENT: Certainly; if we did not -- HOUSE OWNER: I would not trust you with my money. Very well then. If it is certain, with reference to the whole body of your clients, that they lose money on you it is probable, with reference to any one of them, that he will. It is these individual probabilities that make the aggregate certainty. INSURANCE AGENT: I will not deny it -- but look at the figures in this pamph -- HOUSE OWNER: Heaven forbid! INSURANCE AGENT: You spoke of saving the premiums which you would otherwise pay to me. Will you not be more likely to squander them? We offer you an incentive to thrift. HOUSE OWNER: The willingness of A to take care of B's money is not peculiar to insurance, but as a charitable institution you command esteem. Deign to accept its expression from a Deserving Object.
