This single-volume work displays some stains on the main text but maintains excellent printing condition. The cover's right side reads 'Eungje Shi' while the left center shows 'Yangchon Jip,' with the right book spine indicating 'Dangu Jang.' This book comprises the 'Three Poems Composed by the Taizu Emperor of Ming, Presented to Yang-chon Kwon Geun' along with twenty-four response poems composed under imperial command, to which Kwon Ram added annotations and published as a woodblock edition in 1462 (eighth year of King Sejong). The volume preface, written by Yi Cheom in April 1402, appears at the beginning, followed by three regulated verse poems presented by the Ming Taizu emperor to Kwon Geun: compositions on the Yalu River, Goryeo's ancient capital, and passing through Liaodong. These are succeeded by response poems from a Ming Zen master Yuan'an, Kwon Ram's record, augmented annotations by Kwon Ram to twenty-four response poems composed by Kwon Geun in September and October of 1396, Kwon Geun's account of his return to Goryeo in 1396, postscripts from Ming court officials and others regarding the Yang-chon response poems collection, Kwon Chae's 1438 postscript to the mid-period edition, Zen Master Zhengan's postscript from 1462, the biographical account of Master Kwon Geun compiled by his grandson Kwon Ram, and finally Kwon Ram's publication record from October 1462 listing craftsmen An Hye, Jang Baeksun, Yun Yeong-hwa and others. Transmitted through the Jinyangha Clan family, this superior edition surpasses other Yang-chon response poems editions in both printing refinement and preservation condition.
