 World Heritage - Hunmin Jeongeum
The recently discovered complete edition is known as the Haerye Edition of Hunmin Jeongeum (haerye referring to the explanations and examples of the Jiphyeonjeon scholars, which were missing in the only previously known edition).
The Haerye Edition of Hunmin Jeongeum was published about 550 years ago, and was thought to have been long lost, but a copy was found by chance in 1940 in an old house in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and is presently preserved in Gansong Art Museum in Seoul.
It is for these reasons that the Hunmin Jeongeum is not only a Korean national treasure, but also an achievement that must be preserved forever as a legacy of world culture.

So much so, that later Kings actually banned Hunmin jeongeum completely, and Idu, yet simplified, continued to be used by the government and the aristocracy.
It was not until the 19th Century that a slightly modified version of Hunmin jeongeum started to rise in popularity again.
Around this time, Hunmin jeongeum was renamed to the current name of Hangeul (한글), which means "great or Korean script," and a society began to record the writing system.

An old legend holds that King Sejong visualized the written characters after studying an intricate lattice, but this speculation was put to rest by the discovery in 1940 of the 1446 Hunmin Jeongeum Haerye (Explanations and Examples of Hunmin jeong-eum).
The Hunmin Jeong-eum Haerye explains the designs and derivations of the consonants according to articulatory phonetics; and the vowels according to the principles of yin and yang and vowel harmony.
The letters for the consonants fall into five homorganic groups, each with a basic shape, and one or more letters derived from this shape by means of additional strokes.

Wenyan was the primary form used in Chinese literary works until the May Fourth Movement, and was also heavily used in Japan and Korea.
Ironically, Classical Chinese was used to write the Hunmin Jeongeum in which the modern Korean alphabet (Hangul) was promulgated and the essay by Hu Shi in which he argued against using Classical Chinese and in favor of baihua.
Exceptions to the use of wenyan were vernacular novels such as The Dream of the Red Chamber, which was considered low class at the time.

Gari Ledyard, Sejong Professor of Korean History Emeritus at Columbia University, believes that the derivation in the Hunmin Jeong-eum is a mnemonic, and that hangul actually derives, at least in part, from the Mongol Phagspa alphabet (the 蒙古篆字 měnggǔ zhuānz?, or Mongol seal script) of the Yuan dynasty.
Whereas the Hunmin Jeong-eum credits the graphically simplest letters ㄱㄴㅁㅅㅇ; as being basic, with the others derived from these by adding strokes, Ledyard believes the letters ㄱㄷㄹㅂㅈ; were basic, with strokes either added or subtracted to derive the others.
In the Hunmin Jeong-eum, before the influence from Chinese calligraphy on hangul, these are purely geometric.

Confucian scholars raised considerable opposition and protested that the use of Korean script would retard Confucian studies.
King Sejong persisted in his determination to promote Hangeul for the benefit of the people, and Hunmin Jeongeum, or "The Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People," was distributed in 1446.
The official written language continued to be Chinese, as was Latin in Europe, but now the Korean people had at their disposal a means of writing in their own language.
