Modification of Seonwon-gyebo -giryak and Printing on Wood Blocks in the Reign of King Yeongjo

This thesis investigated the features of modifying Seonwon-gyebo- giryak and printing it on wood blocks in the reign of King Yeongjo. Since issued in 1679 (the fifth year of King Sukjong)，Seonwon- boryak was modified as the rituals of royal family were held. This thesis paid attention to the foundation of Gyojeongcheong and the modification of related Jasonnok(子評錄)，out of the features of modifying Seonwon-gyebo-giryak during the period of King Yeongjo. The period of King Yeongjo's reign of 52 years had been in complex political situations from Eulsa hwanguk (1725) to Eulhae Oksa (1755), and in the course persons related to p叮ges of rebels were removed from office and reinstated repeatedly, Modifications were done for the detailed notes of Jasonnok of Seonwon- boryak of King Yeongjo period which were related to the revel purge. In Seonwon- boryak in the reign of King Yeongjo, the detailed notes of Gwanjak (titular office and rank) were modified in Jasonnok related to the purges of rebels, The wood block used for the modification of Seonwon-borγak was Jajakpan(自作板)， Jongbusi requested Jajakpan required for the modification of Seonwon-boryak by issuing official document. As there was no tribute manager for Jajakpan，the lower official of Gyoseogwan (office of government publication) acted for wholesale dealer, but it was difficult to secure sufficient quantity at once. Therefore Sebo (洗補) was actively used for the modifications of Seonwon-boryak during the reign of King Yeongjo. Sebo refers to a supplementation by cutting misspellings from the finished books and correcting, and a cap holes (補孔) by cutting typographical errors from the book editions as well. In case of Seonwon-borγak，Sebo, not correcting misspellings was done to the old blocks or previous editions. Sebo was a printing method used for the modifications of Seonwon-boryak over 28 times during the reign of King Yeongjo, which was a effective way to save wood blocks and papers
