Talk:Cultural assets of North Korea

Word translation
Could someone knowledgeable in Hanja please confirm exactly what the terms 衙舍, 邑城, 鎭城, 山城, 甕城, 客舍, 長城 and 堡城 mean? Currently, I have the first five translated as magistrate's office, town wall, fortress, mountain fortress, and barbican, but it's mostly just reasonable guessing. Few of these terms have come up in any Chinese or Hanja dictionary I've checked. TELane (talk) 23:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Why is the 급 pronounced "geum" and not "geup"? Does it not have a Hanja? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.122.171 (talk) 12:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Weasel words
The introduction is obscure:


 * "Designated [by who exactly?] cultural assets of North Korea are tangible artifacts, sites, and buildings deemed [by who?] to have significant historical or artistic value. They are not, however, considered [by who?] important enough to merit designation as a national treasure."

This sounds as if this was an official list, promulgated by some DPRK institution. Looking at the single relevant source given, it seems as this list was actually not published in the DPRK, but by some south Korean (i.e. external) agency. Please clarify. --Babelfisch (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
