King Sejong 세종, born Yi Do 이도, was the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty. He’s remembered first and foremost for inventing the Hunminjeongeum better known as Hangul, the Korean alphabet, which I have discussed in part one ( • King Sejong and the cr... )
In this video, I will discuss his life more thoroughly and look at other achievements of his. I will talk about his his turbulent first years on the throne, his marriage to Queen Soheon 소헌왕후 and the death of her father Shim On 심온.
Sejong continued suppressing Buddhism throughout the land, although he was himself a believer in Buddhism but Joseon was a Neo-Confucian society and Buddhism was at odds with it. Sejong wrote a buddhist hymn for his late queen. It’s called Songs of the Moon’s Reflections on a Thousand Rivers (Worincheongangjigok 월인천강지곡).
With the help of his father, he suppressed Japanese piracy and signed a treaty in Tsushima with the Sō clan, the Treaty of Gyehae 계해조약. Sejong also retook some land to the north that was taken by the Jurchens. General Kim Jongseo 김종서 was in charge of this expedition.
King Sejong had very talented people in his court. One of those was Jang Yeong-sil 장영실 who came up with new designs for water clocks, armillary spheres and sundials. He also made the cheugugi 측우기, the first well-known rain gauge.
During Sejong's reign, many important books were written: the Samganghaengsildo 삼강행실도, an Illustrated Guide to the Three Bonds found in confucianism, the Hyangyak jipseongbang 향약집성방, a book on traditional Korean medicine and the Nongsa Jikseol 농사직설, a book on agriculture. The latter was written by Sejong himself. He also wrote many musical pieces with his teacher, Bak Yeon 박연.
King Sejong is called Sejong Daewang, meaning King Sejong the Great. He has left an undeniable trace in Korea history, primarily by his creation of Hangul / Hangeul. He also wanted sciences to bloom in Joseon and he achieved some peace in the south as well as the north of the country.

So this Great King was inventor, engineer, Astrologist, military tactician, scientist, musician, language expert and a strongman.

A great king indeed! He understood the assignment and went beyond.
He's so progressive that he included men for paternity leaves. That's very impressive!

Surprising story❤❤❤❤❤great 세종대왕
Renaissance Promoter had been great emprator who invented a alphabet. I liked this person's history .I decided one day I definitely goin'to there and I'll learn more information about this person's history.
If I can time travel, o would love to meet sejong and youngsil
I'm glad I found this channel and this series of videos.
Sejong’s achievements came at a severe cost: he was one of the worst workaholics in Korean history, especially towards the end of his life, and literally worked himself to death (it didn’t help that he was obese and likely diabetic by that point). Not only that, he demanded the same level of dedication from everyone in the government, including his top officials and his sons (his philosophy amounted to “people in the government must sacrifice their well-being for the advancement of our nation”), resulting in his sons inheriting his work ethic and interest in politics-which resulted in his successor Munjong working himself to death as well and his second son overthrowing his grandson to take power himself as Sejo (though at least Sejo also inherited his father’s dedication and competence).
As a Korean American, I say that it wasn't just sejong, but all Koreans until recently. For a long time, Koreans thought that studying was exercise. This unhealthy philosophy made Koreans study more but made them dye in a young age. But even for his time, Sejong accomplished many achievements.

Joseon dynasty started well things got bad when they started to isolate themselves from the world, as a result technology and innovation took time to evolve which left them vulnerable to invasion and totally dependant on ming and qing . Onto of that they tried to erase their history of conquest by Mongols, especially when they did so.ething to the Korean Muslims and practised confucianism too seriously
Mulsims in Joeson dynasty? WTF are you smoking ㅉㅉ
@@loveaintfree1409 in koreyo Islam had a presence in Korea during the koryeo dynasty stuck around a bit before suddenly dying off in the joseon era
