The layout has single upper and lower borders, ruled lines dividing the columns, black inward-facing fishtail marks at the top and bottom, black margins top and bottom, and large characters set 10 lines to 15 characters, with small characters in double columns; it is a stitched (seonjangbon) binding. This is a Buddhist ritual manual that sets out in detail the procedures and accompanying rites for suryukjae, a ceremony offering food and water to all solitary spirits and hungry ghosts on water and land; it was compiled by the Southern Song monk Jiban. The running title is Suryungmun, and the two characters for "Jiban" are written in ink on the cover. The title given at the end of the volume is "Cheonji myeongyang suryuk jeui chanyo il gwon." The colophon at the end of the volume, recording that it was carved in the winter of the mu-o year, the 38th year of Jiajing, at Gapsa Temple on Gyeryongsan Mountain in Gongju, Chungcheong Province, shows that this copy was printed in 1573, the 6th year of King Seonjo, at Gunjangam Hermitage on Gyeryongsan Mountain, using woodblocks carved in 1558 at Gapsa Temple in Chungcheong Province. The clean copy used for carving was written out by Suhyeon; the carving was done by the master carvers Hyein and Joyeong among others; and the printing was carried out by the painters Sungo and Dojin. This book is in good condition, both in its printing and its preservation, and is an important resource for the study of Buddhist ritual.
