About King Sejong
After taking throne, King Sejong expands and reinforces Jiphyeonjeon (the government office to control Confucianism books, reports and lecture at early Lee Dynasty) to develop the country, for which he recruits young scholars. He aggressively recruits talented persons and begins to reform the systems of industry, agriculture, music and medical science, etc. in full scale. The King discusses everything with his retainers, and makes efforts to provide the people with spiritual inheritance. As a result, a lot of books are published, for example, Nongsa Jikseol, Hyangak Jipseongbang and Samkang Haengsildo, etc., publication technology is improved, national land is expanded, border is determined, and Hunmin Jeongeum (the Korean Alphabet) is invented.
