[BUNJANG] Dongmong Seonseup (Complete Set) - Joseon Dynasty Handwritten Manuscript / 동몽선습(완질 구성)
## Overview
This is a rare handwritten copy of 『Dongmong Seonseup』, a foundational text for educating children in the Joseon era. It is a complete set, including both the first part on the Five Relationships (五倫) and the second part summarizing Korean history. The manuscript bears the marks of study by young scholars of the time, making it a valuable historical document.
## Specifications and Condition
* **Dimensions:** 18.5cm (width) x 18cm (height)
* **Pages:** 20 sheets (40 pages)
* **Format:** Joseon Dynasty Late Period, Semi-cursive script (Haeseo-che) handwritten manuscript
* **Condition:** The cover shows signs of wear and some minor soiling consistent with age. However, all pages are intact and preserved without any missing leaves. The handwriting is exceptionally clear, allowing for easy reading of the content.
## Academic and Content Value
### Vivid Traces of Learning:
The standout feature is the meticulously recorded **'Gyeol' (구결 - Korean reading annotations)** in blue and black ink between the Hanja characters. These annotations, using characters like '伊(i)', '尼(ni)', '爲(wi)', and '也(ya)', offer a vivid glimpse into the classroom practices of the time, demonstrating attempts to read the text in Korean.
### Essence of the Five Relationships and History:
* **First Part (Five Relationships):** Begins with the general principle that 'among all beings between heaven and earth, only humans are most precious,' followed by a clear exposition of core Confucian moral principles: the relationship between father and son, ruler and subject, husband and wife, elder and younger, and friends.
* **Second Part (History):** Summarizes the flow of Korean history, starting from Gojoseon, through Gojoseon (by Kija), the Samhan period, the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, and culminating in the founding of the Joseon Dynasty. It perfectly includes the final passage expressing pride in Joseon, referring to it as 'Sojunghwa' (小中華 - Lesser China).
### Strengths and Weaknesses:
* **Strengths:** Unique calligraphic charm inherent to handwritten works rather than printed ones, and the rarity of being able to examine the study methods (Gyeol) of the era.
* **Weaknesses:** Wear and soiling on the cover and exterior due to the passage of many years (a characteristic vintage condition for old books).
This is not merely an old book, but a precious record embodying the educational spirit of the Joseon Dynasty. It is sought for transfer to individuals who will cherish such historical texts.
1. 개요
조선 시대 아동 교육의 필수 입문서였던 『동몽선습』의 필사본입니다. 전반부 오륜(五倫)과 후반부 역사(歷史) 요약이 빠짐없이 수록된 완질 구성으로, 당시 학동의 학습 흔적이 고스란히 남아 있는 역사적 가치가 높은 문헌입니다.
2. 상세 규격 및 상태
규격: 가로 18.5cm x 세로 18cm
분량: 총 20장 (40페이지)
형태: 조선 후기 해서체 필사본
상태: 세월에 따른 표지 마모와 생활 오염이 있으나, 낙장 없이 본문 전체가 보존되어 있습니다. 글씨가 매우 뚜렷하여 내용 판독에 전혀 지장이 없습니다.
3. 학술적 및 내용적 가치 (상세 특징)
학습의 생생한 흔적: 본문 한자 사이사이에 파란색과 검은색 먹으로 꼼꼼하게 기록된 **'구결(토)'**이 압권입니다. '伊(이)', '尼(니)', '爲(위)', '也(야)' 등을 활용해 우리말 읽기를 시도했던 당시 서당의 교육 현장을 생생하게 증명하는 귀한 자료입니다.
오륜과 역사의 정수:
전반부: "천지간 만물 가운데 오직 사람이 가장 귀하다"는 총론을 시작으로 부자유친, 군신유의, 부부유별, 장유유서, 붕우유신 등 유교의 핵심 도덕 규범을 정갈하게 담았습니다.
후반부: 단군조선부터 기자조선, 삼한, 삼국, 고려를 거쳐 조선 건국에 이르는 한국사 흐름을 요약하고 있습니다. 특히 조선을 '소중화(小中華)'라 칭하며 자부심을 드러낸 마지막 구절까지 완벽히 수록되어 있습니다.
장단점:
장점: 인쇄본이 아닌 필사본만이 갖는 독특한 서예적 운치와 당시 학습법(구결)을 확인할 수 있는 희소성.
단점: 오랜 세월의 흐름으로 인한 표지 및 외관의 마모와 오염 존재(고서 특유의 빈티지한 상태).
참고: 고서적을 소중히 여기시는 분께 양도하고 싶습니다. 단순한 옛날 책이 아닌, 조선 시대의 교육 정신이 담긴 소중한 기록물입니다.
