This is the National Agricultural Museum in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province.

This is the National Agricultural Museum in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Gyeonggi Province. The story of the royal 'jang' During the Joseon Dynasty, a Janggo was set up to store Jang separately. If you look at the , which depicts Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung Palaces, you can see this Janggo, or Jangdokdae. Jang was managed particularly strictly in the Joseon royal family. There was a separate Saongwon that managed royal food, and a court lady named Jangkoma who managed Janggo was appointed to manage the taste of Jang. The reason was that if the taste of Jang changed, a great change would occur in the country. In the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, there are records that several kings, including Sejong, gave Jang to starving people and government officials who were struggling to make ends meet, and that Yeongjo liked Sunchang Gochujang, so we can see the royal family's perception of 'jang'. The process of turning rough land such as forests, wastelands, and riverbeds into farmland is called reclamation. From the Three Kingdoms period to the Unified Silla period, the area of ​​rice paddies was expanded through reclamation, and during the Goryeo period, in order to increase farmland, they advanced northward and reclaimed mountainous areas. During the Joseon period, it was promoted more actively through the compilation of agricultural books and the dissemination of technology. From the 1960s, laws and systems were reorganized and large-scale reclamation and land improvement projects were carried out. Reclamation projects were actively promoted until the 1980s. Ganjeok refers to the process of building a dam on the surface of the water and draining or filling it to make a body. On the west and south coasts, they used the complex coastline to create gaps. In the Goryeo History, there is a record of King Gojong saying, "Blocking Jepo and Wapo in Ganghwado to create Jwadunjeon, and blocking Ipo and Chopo to create Udunjeon." Through the experience of carrying out reclamation, the Joseon period accumulated knowledge related to coastal topography, tides, and vegetation. Civil engineering technology was utilized to build breakwaters, water gates, and waterways. All seeds retain the characteristics of the region where they were born and grown. Farmers have learned the wisdom to pass on seeds to the next generation by improving wild species, sowing seeds, and harvesting them again. All modern seeds are a great heritage that contains the sweat, wisdom, culture, and history of farmers of the past. Water management is an important factor in determining farming in rice farming. Precipitation in our country is concentrated in the summer. Our ancestors developed irrigation facilities early on to efficiently manage water. The irrigation facilities built since the Three Kingdoms Period continued to develop through the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, and Joseon Dynasties, and during the Korean Empire, the irrigation area accounted for about 20% of the nation's rice paddy area. Agricultural water accounts for more than 40% of total water use. In order to secure agricultural water stably, the 'Rural Water Information System (RAWRIS)' is in operation. Although Suwon was a transportation hub, its poor soil made it unsuitable for farming. In order to establish agriculture, which was the foundation of the self-reliant urban economy that Jeongjo pursued, irrigation facilities and farmland protection were necessary above all else. Jeongjo built Manseokgeo and transformed the land around Hwaseong, which was a wasteland, into fertile fields. After that, he built reservoirs such as Mannyeonje and Chukmanje in succession and reclaimed Daeyu, Dunjeon, and Seodun adjacent to the reservoirs to transform them into fertile fields. The tradition of Suwon as an agricultural city began during the reign of Jeongjo in the Joseon Dynasty. Jeongjo implemented national policies to stabilize and increase agricultural production. He encouraged farming by promulgating the Gwonnonggyo and Gwonnongyunum every January, and compiled the “Nongseo Daejeon” which summarized advanced agricultural technologies. He also built a fortress using the best fortification technology, installed a market to promote commercial development, and established agricultural infrastructure to promote agriculture. #Domestic travel #Travel plan #February travel subsidy event
