Men in the old days considered manners, caligraphy, mathematics, archery, horseback riding, and art as the six important virtues of seonbi. Seonbi focused on studying to become successful and bring honor to the family, but on the other hand, they trained their body and mind by shooting arrows out in the nature or mastering martial arts. They also recited poems or played the instrument such as geomungo or piri, spending time with friends and enjoying the arts.
