In Seoul Museum of History I learn about seoul history, extually it was Hanyang at the time in Joseon. Joseon was established by Yi Seong-gye. In that time he wasn`t welcomed by the people in Gaeseong because he betray goryeo and have the country. So he must move the capital and for the new country, it would be better to have new capital. Use divination based on topography to find the location for the capital and it picked Hanyang. For the root of the two big mountain from the north (Mt. Bukak and Mt. Bukhan), have 4 mountain surround the capital and it have stream and river to have easy trade.
In the front I already said that Yi-Seong -gye wasn't welcomed to made country because he is not the rayal blood and he betray Goryeo. So in Joseon dynasty they wrote 용비어천가 to show that Yi-Seong-gye had a strong root and he can rule the country. And this epic poem was forst book written in korean.
By looking around the museum I also saw lots of thing which are in Joseon times. One of them is Hopae. Hopae was like an ID card that are in nowdays. In the front there is the name of the owner, class and date of birth. On the back side of it, there is date of issue. Also the material that are use for Hopae also devided into class. Novels can use ivory and the others can`t.
Also I learn about the market which were in Joseon. There was two kinds of them. One is Sijeon and the other is Nanjeon. Sijeon was licensed market and Nanjeon was unlicensed. Licensed mean that they pay tax and the goverment protect them. So in Joseon Sijeon had 금난전권 but in King Jongjo destroid that law.
For having a class on today I learn lots of things. Last time I came here with my family I couldn`t understand all of things in the museum but had a class gave me great knowledge. So next time I will come here with my family and I will tell them what I learn. |
