The Ritual Records Comprehensive Commentary comprises annotated commentary on the Ritual Records, the ancient Chinese textual compilation of ceremonial protocols and interpretative explanation, augmented with scholarly interpretation by Chen Hao, a Yuan dynasty Neo-Confucian scholar. The Ritual Records achieved reception during the Three Kingdoms period and subsequently became institutionalized as essential state examination curriculum, establishing it as required study for Confucian scholars. Consequently, Korea produced numerous annotated commentaries and related scholarly works addressing this text. The designated copy represents a reproduction edition created in 1391 in Sangju, Gyeongsang province, based on a woodblock-printed original edition initially carved in 1328 by the Zhengming De Family at Jianyang, China. Based on typographical form and vernacular punctuation marks, the copy appears to represent an impression created post-dating 1391 during the late Goryeo-early Joseon printing period. Documentation from Yi Seungin's (1347-1392) Doeun Selected Works anthology references the 'Transmitted Revised Chen Hao Ritual Records Annotation,' indicating that official An Yi, upon appointment as provincial inspector of Gyeongsang province, immediately commissioned woodblock printing at Sangju Prefecture, completing the entire project in five months. This individually held copy represents rare material from a Goryeo edition, and among presently surviving Korean editions, this represents the earliest-created example, establishing significant resource value. Furthermore, as the original source material for Korean-produced Ritual Records annotation and scholarly composition, this work possesses elevated academic value. Additionally, the document illuminates late Goryeo period regional publication practices and characteristics, establishing this material as important resource documentation for bibliography and rural community social history.
