Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido is a fourteenth-
century Korean star map, copies of which were spread
nationwide in the Joseon Dynasty. The name is
sometimes translated as "chart of the constellations and
the regions they govern.“

The map showed positions of the heavenly bodies in

their natural order and allocated on their respective
celestial fields. Its map projection law is found to be the
polar equatorial and equidistance projection : the linear
distance of an object on the map from the center is
lineally proportional to the north polar angular distance
Early cultivation of the soybean
dates back to 4,000 years ago, and
originates in Manchuria and the
Korean peninsula. Early Chinese
records mention that soybeans
were gifted from the region
encompassing Manchuria and
Korea. The first unambiguously
domesticated, cultigen-sized
soybean was discovered in Korea at
the Mumun-period Daundong site.

The first description of a heated greenhouse is from
the Sanga Yorok, a treatise on husbandry compiled
by a royal physician of the Joseon dynasty of Korea
during the 1450s, in its chapter on cultivating
vegetables during winter. The treatise contains
detailed instructions on constructing a greenhouse
that is capable of cultivating vegetables, forcing
flowers, and ripening fruit within an artificially heated
environment, by utilizing ondol, cob walls to insulate
heat; and semi-transparent oiled hanji windows.
RAIN GAUGE CHEUGUGI
A rain gauge (also known as
