Today I learned about Joseon Dynasty. There were many great people at that time like King Se-Jong and Lee Sung-Kye.
Tae-Jo Lee Sung-Kye established Joseon. He was a general of Goryeo. He overthrew Goryeo, established Joseon and moved capital to Hanyang. There were some reasons to move the capital and the most important reason was that he believed Confucianism.
My favorite King Se-Jong was the 4th king and he made many achievements. First, He made Hangeul with Jiphyunjeon scholars. Hangeul is a very scientific language and easier than Chinese. Second, He invented may things with Jang Young-Sil. He made Jagyeogroo-the sun clock and metal printing types. It made people live more comportable. He was a great king. He loved people.
About Confucianism, there were some good and bad points. One of the good point was that we could be dutiful ro ancsesters and parents and One of the bad point is that there were huge gap between noble men and common people. I don't think that confucianism is good because the distinction between the noble and the common and men and women.
