∗❀𓇣❁introducing you the south bohemian culture❁𓇣❀∗

ok so since noone really cares about south bohemian culture anymore, i'll to try to embrace it here on my blog, at least so that people know it exists. for the ones who don't know, Bohemia is an area in Czechia, that takes up most of the country. in czech, it is called 'Čechy'. now, you might notice the similarity between the words chechia and čechy - yes, my whole country is called after this part of it, even though it contains three regions: Bohemia (Čechy), Moravia (Morava) and Silesia (Slezsko). moravians and silesians take care of their culture pretty well in these trying times, but the bohemians, being the most influenced by the west culture, usually don't. so here's me, the tiniest person on tumblr, trying to do something about it! yay!! ❀first i'd like to say something about the name of this entire region. so according to an old, veery old myth, at first, all the slavic tribes lived in one place, 'v matičce Rusi' (in the mother of all, Russia). But the tribes and families started to lack space for their houses, animals and children, and thus two brothers, Čech and Lech, decided to go search for a new place for them. they went a long, long way, until they came to today's czechia, specifically to the mountain Říp (it actually exists). the forefather Čech climbed on the top of it, he looked around and saw, that they came in their promised land. it had beautiful mountains on the sides and fertile meadows in the middle, miles and miles of dark woods, and it was rich in milk and honey. and when he asked what it should be called, the slavs shouted in excitement that it should be called after the forefather himself. (i love this story a lot<3)

❀next post is going to be about the south bohemian region itself and it's parts! i'm planning on still posting art on this blog, but making it more representing of my slavic culture. i hope someone finds this interesting!

also sorry if i made any english mistakes :)

ahoj pampelišky! hello dandelions! today, i would like to write something about

❊❀❁the 5 parts of the south bohemian region❁❀✽

each has its own rich and unique culture, cuisine and clothing. i hope you enjoy!

so first, here's a little map:

source here

the red texts are the names of the parts. (if you have no clue what or where this piece of land is or how big it is, here it is on google maps.)

so first, i would like to introduce you the moust southern region,

❀Doudlebsko

the name itself cannot be translated, as the land is literally named after a slavic tribe called Doudlebové (the Doudlebs), that lived here sometime in 6. - 7. century AC. theres even a fricking village named after them! they also lived in Slovenia and Ukraine.

The region was never very rich, 'cause there's quite a lot of mountains and stuff, so farming isn't too easy here. instead, there were lots of craftsmen - glassmakers, weavers, lace makers. people also cut wood since most of the region is even nowadays covered with forests. because of that, the traditional clothing is - compared to other regions - very simple. but im probably going to post lots of stuff about clothing in the future, so i dont want to get into that very much rn.

❀Blata

the name is literally translated as ,,the Muds" or better, ,,the Morasses". and its very honest tbh. the land is very flat, fertile and wet. there were lots of swamps in here, but the economy ruined the most of them (mostly in the 19. century) because they mined peat and used it in the glass shops as fuel.

the land was very rich compared to Doudlebsko, and that influenced the clothing. it is very rich and colorful, with lots of layers and embroideries.

❀Táborsko/Kozácko

A small, not very important region around the town Tábor. The clothing is pretty influenced by the middle bohemian culture, but still has its own unique traits. my favourite item from the traditional dress is a white apron with little embroidered red flowers.

ok im pretty tired already, so im going to write abt the other parts later. id also like to tell you a few cute czech idioms soon :)

anyway

have a sunny day☼

Legit such a shame we don't get to see Emporio at all during the Bohemian Rhapsody arc, I would be so interested to see if he knows any of the characters and how a child would react to that whole scenario, it could've been such a nice chance to see Emporio acting his age and having some wonder and whimsy 🥺
