The 'Collected Poems of Master Yuhang' is a poetry collection by Han Su (韓修, 1333-1384), a literary official and scholar of the late Goryeo period. In addition to Han Su's poems, the collection includes a preface by Gwon Geun (權近, 1352-1409), an epitaph composed by Lee Sek (李穡, 1328-1396), and an imperial edict from King U, providing crucial material for understanding Han Su's life, thought, scholarship, and character. The 'Collected Poems of Master Yuhang' was first printed on woodblocks in 1400 (Jeongjong 2) in Geumsan by Seong Seok-yong, provincial governor of Jeolla-do, and Lee Gyun, magistrate of Geumsan. Subsequently, the collection was reprinted by Han Jun-gyeom (韓浚謙), a descendant of Han Su, in 1602 (Seonjo 36); by Han Jin-jeong (韓鎭庭) in 1856 (Cheoljong 7); and by Han Jae-ik (韓在益) in 1863 (Cheoljong 14). The designated artifact is the original woodblock edition. This book served as the base text for all subsequent editions of the 'Collected Poems of Master Yuhang' and is a valuable resource from the perspective of historical bibliography. Most pre-15th-century literary collections lacked ruled lines and fish-tail decorative marks, but from the 15th century onward, following the appearance of the 'Collected Poems of Master Yuhang,' ruled lines and fish-tail marks became standard features. The format, typeface, and printing methods of this collection thus represent a transitional period in the publication of personal literary collections, with continuing influence on subsequent practices and recognized scholarly value. Currently, only three first-edition copies with identical blocks survive domestically and internationally, and the copy held at Dankook University's Seokjuseon Memorial Museum is complete with no deficiencies in content and is in a relatively intact condition.
