1. Content introduction
The second book on elementary social studies learning through origins,
That's why this name was created.

Pimatgol is a place where people avoid carriages!
Jamsil is the place where silkworms were raised during the Joseon Dynasty!
As you know, Greenland is not a green land, but an ice land!

Even if you open your social studies textbook and social studies chart, or look at maps of our country and the world, is it difficult to find where something is? Are you confused about where the Seomjin River is and where the capital of the United States is? Geography is difficult and rigid, and no matter how much you memorize it, it's easy to forget it, but if you learn through history, you can have fun studying it.
It is called Talking Street because it is the neighborhood where King Injo ate porridge on his way to escape; Tugeumtan is because it is the river where the dear brothers threw away their gold nuggets; Los Angeles is because it is the city of angels; and Silk Road because it is the road where Chinese silk was sold to the West... … . In addition, it tells how 80 place names at home and abroad were created through four-chamber comics and interesting stories.
If you know the meaning of a place name and the story of how it came to be named, you can access not only geographical information about the place where we live, but also the hard and difficult history in a soft and interesting way.

● A place name that contains all the wisdom, lifestyle, history, and geographical information of our ancestors.
Just as we have names, the place where we live also has a name. The names given to the places where we live, such as land, sea, mountains, and rivers, are called place names. Even if there was no place name, people give the land a name as they live. Even if many years pass and the people who live there change, place names retain the history of the people who lived there. Place names may remain the same or change slightly as time passes, and are engraved throughout nature and villages like living witnesses of history.
Therefore, if you pay a little attention to how the place name originated, you can come across a variety of interesting stories. If you read 《So they say a place like this came about》, which is fun and vivid as if you have entered history, you can learn not only the origin of place names, but also the wisdom of our ancestors, how we live in harmony with nature, and even history. Also, I will have more interest and affection for the place where I live.

● The four-panel cartoon adds to the fun of reading.
You can meet historical figures who appear in the origins of place names in a four-panel cartoon. Hong Gye-gwan, a fortune teller who predicts his future, Grand Prince Yangnyeong who gave up the throne to King Sejong and wandered far away, mountaineers fighting over the name of Everest, Roman soldiers who built a bathhouse in Bath, London... … . The characters' exaggerated and humorous facial expressions and funny dialogue add to the pleasure of reading.
The four-chapter comic of “That’s how these place names came to be” contains information and a lot of fun, as if you were reading a historical comic. Don't just watch cartoons because they're too funny. Reading comics becomes more fun when you read them along with an interesting story!

● Just by looking at the tip information and appendices, you can find geographic and historical information.
At the end of each region's origin story, we have included historical information that was not fully explained in the text as tips. In most cases, there is a historical event or story behind a place name, so it is difficult to understand geography and place names without knowing the history. Therefore, this book supplemented information on events and people appearing in the text to help you understand place names, geography, and history more easily.
The appendix of the book includes information on learning about the land through place names, providing ample opportunity to study geography. Depending on the appearance of the ‘mountain,’ the character ‘ak’ or ‘bong’ is added, resulting in place names such as Bugak, Garibong-dong, and Jeoldusan. Or, if you add the character 'tan' or 'yeoul', such as Segotan or Garae Yeoul, you can know that it is a stream or river.
