The Bronze Age is the period when people used bronze, which was a compound of copper, tin, lead, etc. to make tools, weapons and accessories.

Typical bronze tools include daggers, axes, bows, and personal ornaments, etc.

"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.
