Consisting of 30 volumes, Gogeum unhoe geoyo (Condensed Version of Ancient and Modern Collections of Rhymes, Gujin yunhui juyao in Chinese) was originally compiled by Huang Gongshao of the Ming Dynasty and was later annotated by Tai Zhong of the Song Dynasty. In 1434 (16th year of the reign of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty), the governor of Gyeongsang-do Province, Sin In-son, made a request to the king to publish this book in Gyeongju-bu and Miryang-bu. Many government officials, such as Park Geun and Kim Eul-sin, were involved in the book’s publication, with about 109 people including 20 Buddhist monks participating in the production of printing woodblocks. This book is regarded as a very important material for phonology because it was used as a basic reference in the compilation of Dongguk jeongun (Standard Rhymes of the Eastern State), which was completed in 1447 (29th year of King Sejong’s reign).
