Lee Bung: Jang Bogo: The King of the Sea who controlled the maritime power of the three countries of Korea, China, and Japan

Volume 48 of the "Textbook Biographies for Lower Grades," titled "Jang Bogo: The King of the Sea Who Dominated Maritime Power Among Korea, China, and Japan," aids in children's character development and value formation. It covers the lives of great figures who overcame adversity through passion and effort to achieve great feats. Fifty-three children's literature authors were invited to present historical events in an engaging way, tailored to a child's perspective. Readers can identify which figures lived in each era and what major events occurred. The introduction provides guidance on reading instruction, while a chronology at the end guides readers to trace the footsteps of these great figures. Jang Bogo was born a commoner in Silla. In Silla, where the social class system was strict, there were few opportunities available to him. Therefore, he crossed over to the Tang Dynasty to start a new life. He joined the army in a foreign land where he could barely communicate, enduring all kinds of hardships. However, because Jang Bogo possessed exceptional martial arts skills, he achieved success as a soldier. After returning to Silla, he established Cheonghaejin and repelled the pirates swarming the seas, while joining forces with merchants to play a key role in the development of international trade.
