Geunsarok (Reflections on Things at Hand), Volumes 1-3 and

Geunsarok (Reflections on Things at Hand) was written jointly by Zhu Xi and Lü Zuqian of the Song dynasty. It is an introductory compilation drawing on the writings of outstanding scholars of Neo-Confucianism, coherently organised, and is regarded among Confucian scholars as a work of established authority. In the 19th year of King Gongmin's reign (1370), Yi No-suk, who had long sought to obtain the text, acquired a full set of it through Bak Sang-chung, and it was subsequently published in Jinyang. This edition was carved onto woodblocks; at the end of the text, the name of the publisher and the place of publication are recorded in clerical script, along with the date of publication, given as "the third year of Hongwu" (the 19th year of King Gongmin, 1370). The omission of the character 武 from the era name Hongwu (洪武) in the date is a feature commonly found in editions published in Goryeo.
