Seoul is the capital of present day Korea. But at the time of the Josun dynasty, the capital was "Hanyang". Hanyang was the head city. Now, I'll talk about the things that are significant or awesome about Hanyang.
Firstly, there was a system called "hopae". It is a type of ID card. This shows the person's information. for example, it stated the name, date of birth, and his class. Without hopae, people couldn't enter gates or places.
Secondly, the biggest markets were located in Hanyang. These markets were called "Shi-Jang". In Shi-Jang, people sold paper, ramie fabric, dried fish, cotton goods, and some kind of foods. The biggest Shi-Jang was Un-Jong street. In Un-Jong street, there also was "Jagyeoknu", the water clock. These usful inventions(just during that time) was made by a scientist, Jang Yeoung-Shill. He first was a slave, but by the integrity of Se- jong the Great, he became a scientist.
In addition, Hanyang was a great city. However, I just prefer to live in peaceful places, but not the cities which are too calm and quite.
Good!
