Dongsanseodang Woodblocks, Changnyeong

The book-printing woodblocks held at Dongsanseodang (Dongsan Village School) in Changnyeong were made to print the collected writings of various forebears of the Gwangju No clan, and date from the 1800s to the 1900s. These woodblocks are the original printing blocks for the collected works of more than twenty clan scholars of the Gwangju No clan's Changnyeong branch, spanning several generations with differing lifetimes, and it is highly significant that they have been kept together in one place rather than scattered. They provide excellent material for research into the scholarship, literary achievement, social standing and intellectual outlook of local scholars of the Joseon period, as well as into local history and the history of woodblock carving and publishing, giving them great value both as historical records and as cultural heritage.
