Mangu Hall Collected Works Printing Woodblocks Changuirok Printing Woodblocks (Bu)

The printing woodblocks of the Mangu Hall Collected Works were carved to print the poetry, prose, chronological biography and appendices of Gwak Jae-u, who was the first to raise a righteous army at the outbreak of the Japanese invasion of 1592 and distinguished himself in battle. The text was revised and expanded through three separate printings; the surviving woodblocks are those of the third printing, published in the forty-seventh year of King Yeongjo (1771). The appended Changuirok printing woodblocks were carved to print the Yongmieum-mirok, a roster of those who joined Gwak Jae-u when he raised a righteous army at Uiryeong during the 1592 invasion, together with the Hwawangseongdonggorok and the Hwawangsugakrok, rosters of the righteous scholars of Gyeongsang-do who defended Hwawangsanseong Fortress in Changnyeong alongside Gwak Jae-u during the renewed Japanese invasion of 1597. These works were edited and compiled by Gwak Won-gap and others; a preface was obtained from the governor of Gyeongsang-do, Jo Hyeon-myeong, in the eighth year of King Yeongjo (1732), and a further preface from the governor Kim Si-hyeong in the tenth year of King Yeongjo (1734). This is a valuable source for research into the history of the Japanese invasions of Korea, particularly the activities of the Gyeongsang-do region.
