History

The project was originally created in 1481 based on Chinese sources.^[1] In 1530, it added five more books and made the series as an expanded edition thus the word shinjeung (新增) was added to indicate the expansion of content, with the total of 55 books.^[1] The book was more of a guidebook for a separate map rather than actual cartography.^[1] Each book started with the drawing of the overall view of the regions covered, and wrote about the history, customs, temples, mausoleums, palaces and administrative quarters and educational institutions thereafter.^[2] The book contained prologues written by Confucian scholars of the times.^[2]
