Kim Han-dong Collection Dongmongseonseup Old Book, Hangle Eyewear Phonetic Annotation, Seodang Learning Traces, 13 Chapters

Descripción del Producto

This is an antique book of 《Dongmongseonseup (童蒙先習) 》, a representative elementary textbook for children during the Joseon Dynasty. 《Dongmongseonseup》 was a book that children who had mastered the Thousand Character Classic (Cheonjamun) would study at the next stage. It is a traditional educational text that taught the Five Relationships (Oryun)—comprising Father and Son closeness (Bujayuchin), Ruler and Subject righteousness (Gunsinyuui), Husband and Wife distinction (Bubu-yubyeol), Elder and Younger order (Jangyuyuseo), and Friend faithfulness (Bunguyusin)—alongside historical content. The cover features the book title ‘童蒙先習冊’ and the name of the previous owner, ‘Kim Handong (金漢東)’. Next to the large Chinese characters in the main text, there are small annotations for learning the pronunciation and meaning of the characters, and many traces of blue and black Hangle pronunciation/meaning (eumhun), corrections, and handwriting practice (seupja) remain. This is not just a book that was kept cleanly, but a material that preserves the traces of being repeatedly read and studied in actual Seodang (traditional village schools) or home education settings. It is significant as a resource for educational and social history, as it allows one to observe the methods and handwriting habits children used to read Chinese characters and learn their meanings at the time. The main text consists of a total of 13 sheets (26 pages), with 1 blank sheet (gongji) at the front and 2 interleaf sheets (ganji) at the back remaining separately. The rear interleaf sheets also contain practice of the former owner's name and traces of handwriting and character practice. To protect the book, the inner corners of the front and back covers have been reinforced with soft coating paper. This is a protective measure to reduce damage to the antique cover, and the relevant parts can be seen in the photos. - Book size: Approx. 23cm (W) × 25cm (H) - Main text: Total 13 sheets (26 pages) - Composition: Front cover, 1 front blank sheet, 13 main text sheets, 2 rear interleaf sheets, back cover - Owner's name: Kim Handong (金漢東) - Edition: Estimated to be an old edition; exact publication year and type are unknown As this is an antique book that was actually used over a long period, there is wear, contamination, and loss on the covers and corners, as well as ink smudging, handwriting, old repairs, and loosening of the binding thread.
