“Ban 8”, the written law in Ancient Joson

“Ban 8” is the written law of Ancient Joson, the first powerful centralized slave state established in our country and it is a precious national heritage showing the social development of the period. The law is divided into written and unwritten laws according to whether it is written or not.

Along with the establishment of the Ancient Joson state, the law had been expressed in many cases in the form of unwritten law, but gradually it began to adopt the form of written law, and the typical law is " Ban 8". "Ban" means prohibition of violation, and “Ban 8” means eight items that should not be committed. All the contents of the "Ban 8" are not conveyed, but only three of them are conveyed, as follows:

- Killer is promptly executed to death.

- The man who hurt others shall compensate with grain.

- A man who stole another's thing shall be servant.

If the man who stole another's thing wants to remove the disgrace, he must pay 500 000 Won.

In “Ban 8”, the punishment regulation for the murderer, the compensation regulation for the injurer, and the servant provision for the thief, were all provisions for protecting the interests of the slave-owner class, defending their privileged position and rights, and suppressing the resistance of slaves and ordinary people.

To get the habit of believing in oneself.

It is important to value the children's natural aptitudes and talents and lead them to have the confidence that they will become talents. Education that prioritizes nature and talent is the best way to grow children.

If parents educate them in that way, they will cultivate confidence and can be able to cope with any difficulties during their growth. You should help children gradually get faith in everything from a trivial success in a small job.

If your child is fond of reciting verses, but is afraid of performing due to lack of courage to do it, parents should first organize frequently the reciting meetings in a family atmosphere to help the child to have confidence.

In contact with the teacher, you should constantly encourage your child to have the ability of expression so that the child frequently appear before comrades and, further, to step up on the school stage. It is necessary to train the children by giving them the task that is suitable to them able to achieve the actual visual success.

You should always pay attention so that your children can overcome the passive attitudes. You should also pay attention so that your children can throw off their feeling of depression.

You should create an environment for your children to feel joy and pleasure among comrades so as to abandon their passive attitude and inspire confidence. At the same time, it is advisable to encourage them to take an active part in socio-political activities.

To get by oneself a thing desired

If the child wants to have a red ball on the table or if he is curious about it, the child’s mother should not bring it to her child, but help the child to creep and get it. When the mother's excessive “kindness” makes her child to get easily everything desired, the child will not be particularly interested in what s/he has got in hand.

But if the child who had wanted to have a doll on the table have crawled and managed to get into hands, s/he would have a special interest in it. It can be said that a child who crawls with all his power to target a doll on a desk is already beginning to have a clear goal and is willing to make a decision.

She might feel a bit sorry to see the child crawling and falling and looking up at her for help, but it is a better way of educating her child to help to get the things desired by oneself.

- Use of good cosmetics for skin whitening

Use of cosmetics containing skin whitening ingredients is recommended.

Pack may also be used.

Makeup soon after bathing can be easily attacked by bacteria, with the change of acid and alkalinity levels of the skin. Therefore, makeup is recommended when the acid and alkalinity levels of the skin are recovered to normal one hour after the bath.

When white hair comes out at one’s thirties

It is sometimes possible to see white hair at one’s twenties to thirties. The whitening of hair is due to inhibition of melanin pigment formation, besides, endocrine dysfunction, genetic factors and nutritional deficiency.

People with white hair should eat nutrients in reasonable proportions. Marine algae plants, like seaweed, make hair dark and beautiful, so it is good for them to eat frequently.

Kwon Kun, the first scholar who explained the period of the existence of the dynasty of Tangun

Kwon Kun, who lived in the late 14th century and early 15th century, first interpreted that the record of the life of Tangun of over 1 000 years in "The Heritage of the Three States" means the period of its existence of the dynasty of Tangun, not his age. Kwon Kun, a talented and well-versed scholar in the metaphysics, passed the government civil service examination in 1369 and held the official positions in the Songgyungwan Academy, the royal ordinance department, and the cabinet.

In the early period of the feudal Joson dynasty, he played an important role in carrying out cultural policies including education. When he lived in exile in 1390, he also paid attention to education and taught children in the area where he was.

On the other hand, based on the practical experience gained in the course of education, he wrote the "admission theory" (Volume 1) which contained the contents of visual pedagogy which could teach learners in a straightforward way. Kwon Kun also contributed to the development of the historical science by writing the "Oriental history" (Volume 2), which summarized historical events in chronological order. "Yangchon collection" (40 volumes) is allegedly his collection of works.
