NOTE

Rain Gauge This is an instrument used to measure the amount of rain since the reign of King Sejong. In 1441, the 23rd year of King Sejong's reign, Hojo suggested installing the rain gauge. So in May of the following year, a new legal system regarding rain measurement was enacted, and rain gauges were made and installed in Seoul and Gunhyeon of each province. The rain gauge during the reign

of King Sejong in Joseon Dynasty was the first water measuring instrument in the world, which is scientifically significant. Don't forget to have an opportunity to take a close look at the rain gauge.
