Joseon wangjo uigwe (The Royal Protocols of the Joseon Dynasty) is a vast collection of books (generically called Uigwe) illustrating the details of important royal rituals and ceremonies of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Resulted from the tradition rarely found in other dynasties including those in China, the books are tangible evidence to show the zeal and commitment of the Joseon dynasty to the Confucian ethical principles and the system of record keeping on state affairs. This particular collection of Uigwe, Jogyeongdan jungyeongmyo yeonggyeongmyo (The Royal Protocols of the Office of Construction on Jogyeongdan Altar, Jungyeongmyo and Yeonggyeongmyo Tombs), was issued as a manuscript for archival storage and has been preserved in a complete set in Samcheok Municipal Museum.
