Sotdae
A ''sotdae'' ((:sʰott͈ɛ)) is a tall wooden pole or stone pillar with a carved bird on its top, built for the purpose of folk belief in Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Totem Pole Park (Sotdae and Jangseung Park) )〕 Like ''jangseung'', wooden totem poles with a sculptured human face, it was usually erected near the entrance of a village to ward off evil spirits as well as to represent villagers' wishes for prosperity and well-being.〔 Later, it was also built as a celebratory or commemorative symbol. For instance, when a son of a family passed a civil service examination called ''gwageo'', a ''sotdae'' was set up in the yard.〔 In that case, it was colored in orange and topped with a blue dragon.

''Sotdae'' were generally set up alone, but sometimes, along with ''jangseung'' (Korean totem poles), ''dolta''p (돌탑, a pagoda built with stone) or ''sinmok'' (신목, sacred trees). It was worshiped as a village guardian. The birds may look like wild geese, crows or ibises in some areas, but ducks are the most common.〔〔 ''Sotdae'' have different names according to regions; ''soju'' (소주), ''sojutdae'' (소줏대) in Jeolla Province, ''soldae'' (솔대) in Gangwon Province and Hamhung district,〔 ''byeolsindae'' (별신대) in coastal areas of Gyeongsang Province,and ''sotdaek'' (솟댁) in Hwanghae and Pyeongan Province. ''Pyojutdae'' (표줏대), ''georitdae'' (거릿대), ''susalmok'' (수살목) and ''seonangdae'' (선앙대) are other names.〔
Nothing precise is known about the sotdae's origin. However, ''sotdae'' was believed to be sanctified as a village guardian from when people started agriculture and the unit of society formed based on agricultural villages.〔 Later, as a concept of feng shui prevailed and values of success and honour became important, its meaning seemed to be differentiated from an object of worship to a totem for abundant harvest.〔 Ducks, as migratory birds, had various religious symbols and made the meanings of ''sotdae'' more diverse.〔
