Eight Prohibitions(범금팔조), also called Paljojigyo(팔조지교) (Chinese: 八條之敎; pinyin: Bā tiáo zhī jiào)[1] or Paljobeop(팔조법) (Chinese: 八條法; pinyin: Bā tiáo fǎ)[2] is a criminal law. When people from the Shang dynasty migrated to the Korean peninsula and established Gija Joseon, the sage politician Jizi from the Shang dynasty enacted this law to educate and strengthen the Korean people. This law was made up of eight prohibitions regarding etiquette, agriculture, rice farming, sericulture and weaving.
