Sima Guang's 'Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Governance,' primarily describing political and military affairs with the objective of providing rulers with lessons from historical examples of national rise and decline, was absolutely essential to Joseon's national administration. The four volumes (226-229) of 'Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Governance' held at the Ulsan Museum represent one volume from the complete hundred-volume set. However, this metallic-type edition was printed in the eighteenth year of King Sejong's reign (1436) using gapjin type, the highest-quality metallic type in Joseon, possessing significant value for the study of early Joseon publishing, printing, and bibliography. Furthermore, as complete transmitted editions of this identical woodblock version are rare and the preservation condition is excellent, its value as nationally designated cultural heritage is considerable.
