Seosijason(書示子孫)

53 × 73㎝

This is an admonitory letter written by Yi Wonik for his offspring in 1589 (32nd year of King Seonjo’s reign). He particularly asks his dependents not to bury him in other regions sticking to the theory of geomancy, but to entomb him in his family grave mountain. In addition he admonishes them not to gather wealth by dishonest means or without benevolence. This letter shows his attitude toward the life, and suggests that his way of thinking is logical.
