Yanji

Multilingual Yanji and Yanbian Memory

As Yanbian's capital, Yanji carries long interaction among Korean and other communities in language, food, education and festivals.

• Recognise the setting in which culture actually occurs — Compare multilingual signs and market food with museum context rather than reducing culture to colour and clothing.
• Participate only where the setting clearly allows it — Ask about preparation and participation rules, learn basic courtesies and accept local correction.
• Separate residents’ lives, ritual and performance — Obtain consent before photographing families, students or dress; never mimic language or assume identical household customs.
