This is a Korean translation of Shujing (Book of Documents), which is regarded as one of the three leading classics of China. Shujing records the history of the early states of China, including Xia, Shang, and Zhou, with the aim of encouraging people to learn valuable lessons from history. The Korean translation is thought to have been published sometime after the Japanese invasion in the late 16th century.
