Hwasansega Handwriting

This book was compiled in the early reign of King Hyeonjong of Joseon by Kim Seong-geun, a descendant of the Andong Kim clan, who gathered materials on the eminent members of his clan who died for their principles during the Manchu invasion of 1636 (Byeongja Horan). Its contents — letters, poetry commentaries and elegies by notable figures including Kim Sang-yong — are arranged chronologically under four sections, Won, Hyeong, I and Jeong, the traditional fourfold classification taken from the Book of Changes. The Won section has 18 leaves covering 19 people including Kim Sang-yong and Kim Sang-heon; the Hyeong section has 19 leaves covering 16 people including Kim Chang-jip and Kim Seong-choe; the I section has 23 leaves covering 26 people including Kim Si-geol and Kim Yong-gyeom; and the Jeong section has 14 leaves covering 20 people including Kim I-won and Kim Eung-sun — four volumes and 74 leaves in total. It is considered a valuable source for identifying the members of the Andong Kim clan who died for their principles during the Manchu invasion.
