  It can be easily understood that the history of cotton cultivation and fabrication is very long and cotton has been cultivated in various areas in view of the fact that lots of relics were found at remains such as Huaca Prieta in Peru which is presumed of the contemporary with the Mohenjodaro remains of the Neolithic Age around B.C. 2500"s.
  But it is recognized in the world cotton fabrication study that India is the cradle of the cotton fabrication culture, since India was industrialized to large scale for the first time with the rapid development of cotton"s dyeing and fabrication techniques.
  Cotton fabrication culture, which was originated and developed in the area of Indus Civilization during the Neolithic Age was transferred at early stage to Persia, China and her border areas, and the regions of South-East Asia. Especially, in the region of South-East Asia, it was trasferred and developed to the degree of the formation of the same circle of cotton fabrication culture with India.
  As the fact that, from the ancient, the cultural influence of China, India and South-East Asia regions with which Korea was bordered and faced toward north western and south western, respectively was interchanged frequently with Korea has been proven historically and archeologically, the course of transfer of cotton fabrication culture, which was originated in India, into Korea should also be studied in the same aspects.
  According to historical records on cottons in Korea, Ik-Jeom, Moon who was returning from Won dynasty (China) as an envoy brought cotton seeds into Korea in 1363, the 12th year of King Kong-Min in Korea dynasty, and it was cultivated by Chun-Ik, Jeong(Moon"s father-in-law) and increased largely within three years as well as cotton gin and spinning wheel were also invented by him. As a result, it is being understood that the knowledges on cotton is formed in the 14th century in Korea.
  But in the case of China, though the cultivation of cotton just began in the North Song-dynasty (A.D. 960~1127), cotton made stuff relics were found in tombs of Han and Tang dynasties and in addition, the record shows the the cultivation of cotton during Tang dynasty, which proves that cotton made stuff were fabricated and used even before the cultivation of cotton. In the same manner, in the case of Korea, it was conjectured that cotton is known and cotton was fabricated before the bringing of the cotton seeds by Ik-Jeam, Moon, but there is no justifiable rationale.
  Nevertheless, it has been discussed that cotton fabrication existed before the Kory? dynasty and the foundation of the first dynasty in Korea only by the records of fabrication of Myun, its present meaning cotton cloth in Sam Kuk-Ji (Chronicles of the Three States of Ancient China), Dongi-Jeon (historical record), however, it has been understood that the letter Myun(?) in Chinese character did not mean cotton textiles at the time of creation. It is known in China that Mok Yyun(木綿) letter is used as the meaning of cotton textile after Soong dynasty, Therefore, the fabrication of cotton made stuff can not be declared by the meaning of letter Myun(?) or letter Myun(綿) before Soong dynasty. Accordingly, in Korea, until today the fabrication of cotton made stuff before the bringing of cotton seeds by Ik-Jeom, Moon of Korea dynasty can not be confirmed.
  Subsequently, I am determined to study on the chronlogical study on cotton fabrication with the basic material of the name of woven stuff Samkuk-Sagi (Historical records of Three States in Korea 三國史記), Hanwon(翰苑) and Koryo-Sa (History of Koryo dyrasty 高麗史) which chinese used to mean cotton made stuff in the region of India and South East-Asia.
  In addition, through this woven stuff, I would like to study the characteristics of the fabrication techniques in Korea, and in addition, I would like to
