Jungyong juja hongmun was first introduced from Yuan China in 1371, 20th year of the reign of King Gongmin of Goryeo and published as a block book. It is a question-and-answer type of book explaining various points about jungyong (mutatis mutandis), one of the four Books written by Zhuxi in Sung China. The characteristics of the original book are comparatively well expressed and preserved, the engraving is somewhat elaborate and the print is relatively clean. Two volumes are currently kept in collections. One is in the collection of Korea University Library and the other is kept at his Seoul residence by Jo Byeongsun, and they are respectively designated as Treasures No. 706 and 707. This is the edition of the Goryeo government, and includes a note that it was re-edited in Jinju in July of the 4th year of Hongho’s reign (1371), and so it is an important source for philology research.
