Panmok held at Gyeongju Yi Clan Ikjaegong Branch Seokdong Lineage, Pohang

These are the printing woodblocks (panmok) for the Gongnyeyui, Gyeongsu sampyeon, Uirye jusojeolyo and Uigam jungma, compiled and written by Yi Gyu-jun (pen name Seokgok, 1855–1923). The Gongnyeyui explains the Gongnye (rules of Confucian etiquette) in simple terms so that beginning students could read it easily, while the Gyeongsu sampyeon compiles the classical scholarship of successive generations of Chinese scholars of the classics. The Uirye jusojeolyo annotates and explains the Yegi (Book of Rites) item by item, and the Uigam jungma is a medical text compiled in 1908. Yi Gyu-jun questioned the commentaries on the Six Classics made by Confucian scholars, including those of the Cheng–Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism (Jeongjuhak), and argued for a return to the fundamental ideals of Confucianism, while also leaving outstanding achievements in the field of medicine.
