A history compiled in Yuan, recording events from the legendary Pangu to Gaoxin in ancient China, and from 901 (Tianfu 1 of Tang) to 1279 (Xiangxing 2 of Song). It was printed in China in 1361, under Yuan, and in Korea sixty years later. It is 18.3 cm wide and 29.2 cm high. According to Byeon Gye-ryang's postscript on the casting of the type at the end, it is printed in Gyeongjaja, the new type that Yi Cheon, Deputy Minister of Works, was ordered to make in November 1420, the second year of King Sejong, and it was issued in 1422, the fourth year of Sejong; the preface, contents and introductory notes are in Gyemija. Byeon Gye-ryang's postscript also appears in volume 18 of the Annals of King Sejong, volume 12 of the Chunjeongjip and volume 103 of the Dongmunseon. The book is a very precious source for bibliography and the history of early printing.
