Iboheum Daejeonsilgi Woodblocks and Royal Patent

Iboheum, whose family seat was Yeongcheon, courtesy name Gyeongbu and pen name Daejeon, passed the civil service examination in the 11th year of King Sejong (1429). He served as a scholar at Jiphyeonjeon (the Hall of Worthies) before becoming a Sajeong, and in 1443 he travelled to Ming China as a document officer (seojanggwan) on a mission of gratitude (saeunsa), afterwards becoming a Jubu. While serving as magistrate of Daegu in 1448, he trial-implemented the sangchang (community granary) system there, and under King Munjong he held the post of Jangnyeong. Under King Jeongjo he was posthumously honoured as Minister of Personnel, and he is enshrined for memorial rites at Daechisa Shrine in Gwangju, Songgokseowon Confucian Academy in Yeongcheon, and the local shrine at Cheongan; his posthumous title was Chungjanggong. The woodblocks number 87 in total, each measuring 30 × 45 cm, and are on display in the museum's Hall of Relics of Former Worthies.
