Korea has a profoundly long history. There are some disagreement among scholars, but at least 9,000 years when one accept the beginning with the creation of Hanguk according to Handangogi(Old Records of Han Dan). It was not just primitive people, but they created the scholarly axis of the thought of “Man Benefit for All” as the source of humane peace thought, the origin of world philosophy reflected from the in-depth knowledge in the Cheonbugyeong(Script of Heavenly List).
Asia’s two major thoughts are Laotzu with his Book of Daoism and Confucius with his Deviation. The philosophical foundation of both thoughts came from the Cheonbugyeong. This is why the book was not just the source of Asian thought but the origin of human thought that make it valuable and great. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the ‘Five Lessons of Hanin’(Haninohun: 桓仁五訓) values so high since filial piety of Hanguk was the foundation of human moral education. At the ancient time, Korean ancestors developed futuristic spiritual culture and philosophy like the Cheonbugyeong. This is why we live happy and enjoy longevity.
In this study, the tradition of the personality education developed by the Three Secret Ancestors -- Heavenly Emperor Hanin of Hwanguk, Heavenly King Hanung of Baidalguk and Dangunwanggeom of Joseon -- and inherited by Confucius is analyzed. The foundation, 366 Events of Human contains the back bone of the thought of filial piety of Dangunwanggeom. 1. anchung, 2. saiu, 3. sunji, 4. yangche, 5. yanggu, 6. sinmyeong, 7. Manghyeong will be focused to seek for the root of the world personality education. The study aims to replanting the thought of filial piety while make this value globalize since this is a time of the lack philosophy and moral education.
