{"product_id":"miracles-in-korea","title":"Miracles in Korea","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiracles in Koreais a collection of thirty-eight stories about Korean mountain wizards, Taoist hermits with supernatural powers, divine Taoists, and divine beings, who enjoy perennial youth, longevity, and immortality, and sometimes ascend to heaven. Its author, Hong Manjong (1643–1725), drew uponA Survey of the Geography of Koreaand several unauthorized chronicles and compiled the stories in chronological order from the Ancient Joseon Age (2333 B.C.–346) to the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910). Jeong Dugyeong drew up the \"Preface\" to this collection, Song Siyeol wrote the \"Postscript,\" and Hong Manjong's adopted son added some anecdotes. Hong Manjong showed that the idea of a mountain wizard and Taoist thought had always existed as underlying presences within Korean history. He implicitly argued against the widespread belief that they failed to develop religious denominations or cultural sects.Miracles in Koreaenumerates a large number of anecdotal details in illustration of the idea of mountain wizardry and presents the idea as an inherent traditional form of Korean spirituality that later merged with Taoist thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Man-jong Hong, Tar-yong Kim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Pub Incorporated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Pub Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62808477270387,"sku":"9781433109652","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0812\/8115\/files\/content_3bc55a82-6604-45ed-8c86-b3afd606dd53.jpg?v=1777955628","url":"https:\/\/readaura.store\/products\/miracles-in-korea","provider":"Read Aura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
