Refers to a ceramic style produced from the 14th century through the first half of the 20th century in Yanggu, an inland area in northern Gangwon-do (province). Among the relics known as the "Votive Reliquaries Offered by Yi Seonggye," dated to 1390 and 1391 (at the end of the Goryeo period), there is a large white porcelain bowl that is identified as Yanggu white porcelain. After the establishment of the official court kilns in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do around 1467, Yanggu became one of their major sources for the supply of kaolin clay. Yanggu ware consisted mainly of plain white porcelain and blue-and-white porcelain. Iron-painted white porcelain and pottery were also produced there. In the late Joseon period, Yanggu blue-and-white porcelains were decorated with Chinese characters denoting longevity and good fortune, as well as floral and plant motifs.

Yangma wall (yangmacheng 羊馬城) literally meaning “goat and horse fortification," first appeared in Tang dynasty records and then also in Song dynasty textual sources. It refers to a wall built either between the city wall and the moat or around a beacon tower. It is usually smaller than the city wall. The yangma wall forms a closed circle around the city wall or the beacon tower, or may be located in certain parts of the city wall to form a closed circle together with the city wall. Yangma wall serves as a defensive line between the city wall and the moat in order to prevent the enemy from invading. It was also used for the temporary placement of goats, sheep, and horses when residents outside the city entered the city for protection. A second term, yangmaqiang 羊馬墻, literally meaning “goat and horse wall" also survives in Tang and Song records and the two terms are interchangeable in texts until the Qing dynasty.

The Yao are a Hmong-Mien (Miao-Yao) speaking ethnic group numbering approximately 3.3 million people, originating from southern China (possibly Hunan) and dispersed westward across the mainland Southeast Asian massif into northern Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand over the last four centuries, with diaspora communities in the United States and France. Due to demographic pressure from coastal Han Chinese and competition from established Tai-speaking groups, the Yao are generally found on higher ground alongside their linguistic relatives the Hmong, though their southward migration into the Peninsula began earlier. The majority of Yao adhere to a medieval version of Chinese Taoism and have historically used Chinese ideograms to write genealogies and ritual books accompanied by colorful paintings, though Buddhist and Christian minorities exist.
