    E. Eisenstein - Professor of History, University of Michigan
  • After all, the modern knowledge and information revolution and the 4th Industrial Revolution were sparked by the invention of metal type printing, and the starting point was Korea's Goryeo, and the evidence can be said to be 「Jikji」 published at Heungdeoksa Temple in Cheongju in 1377 with metal type printing.

Fire emerged as the spark of civilization, enriched culture and art as an object of imagination, and became a source of human technological development as a symbol of vitality and creativity. The flame symbolizes the state in which the fires of these civilizations are ignited and started, in addition to marking high technology capable of melting iron to make metal type, while expressing the cultural power that made a high-quality spiritual culture blossom by printing books.
