Byeongnando

Byeorun-do is located in the lower Yeosong River in Hwanghae Province as an international trade port in East Asia during the Goryeo period.

Originally, Chinese Song people were called "Yesung Hang" because they used to call the river at the mouth of the Yesung River, but they often went to the sea not only for Chinese Song merchants but also for trade with Japan.

Especially at this time, the name "korea" was created while interacting with Arabian merchants.

It was not only an international trade, but it was also a barrier to Goryeo that had to go through in order to go abroad. In the Goryeo Dynasty, the National Roads were designated as Kaesong. As the road network was fixed, the importance of Byk-rulan-do increased. Furthermore, the opening of the port as an international port added to the importance of Byrulan-do. Also, Byeolanjeong, located inside Byeokran-do, served as a government official.In the Goryeo Dynasty, the National Roads were designated as Kaesong.

All the gold and silver vessels, however, were timely displays, not the custom. These were things that government or great office messengers could see, but not now. Usually, the custom is that there are no houses where people live and sell, but they open a market in the middle of the day. Smart engineers such as men and women, young people, and management trade and do not spend money on what they have.

Advantage of Location

Byrullando was the gateway to Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo. It was also a port on the estuary of the Ye Sung River, so it was easy to trade and it was connected also to the sea. Not only that but also the water was too deep to allow even the huge ships to get through.

Transportation was convenient as it is located between Song and japan. At that time, trading by sea route was widespread due to the Khitan and Jurchen.
