pungnyu
poong-NYOO
The Korean aesthetic of enjoying the flow of life and nature together — not observation from outside but participation in the rhythm of landscape and season. Writing poetry by a stream, drinking wine under autumn maples, listening to rain on a thatched roof. Pungnyu is the art of being present where land, weather, and human feeling converge.
Etymology
Korean (풍류), from Chinese fēngliú (風流): pung/fēng (風, wind) + nyu/liú (流, flow). Wind-flow. The flowing of wind — and, by extension, the flowing of life through the world.
