We learned about roof tiled house that tiles were made of earth, and also learned that Sa rang chae waas fo manto seep, An chae was for woman to stay, and hangrang chae was for merchants to stay. We also learned about Life of Chosun's boy and girl.

When boy was born, Geumjul has hung over the gate. People hung the straw rope to protect house from evil ghosts and protect baby from death. When the boy was born, there were red pepper and charcoal on the geumjul, and when girl was born, there were pine branches and charcoal on the geumjul.
