[History Is Alive - Gojoseon Edition] Episode 4: The Eight Laws of Gojoseon - East Asia's First Written Law?
AI 3-line summary
- In this history series on the Eight Laws of Gojoseon, Episode 4 treats them as East Asia's first written law in the 4th century BC.
- The Book of Han's geography section preserves only three of the eight articles - murder, injury and theft - and some argue the article on 500,000 coins was added later.
- The article holds that the origin of the reduced punishment for self-reporting lies in the Eight Laws, but also presents the cautious view that the text was reconstructed from a Han perspective.
