An uigwe recording the construction process of the tomb of crown prince Hyojang (1719-1728), the first child of Yeongjo. Crown prince Hyojang was named prince Gyeongui in 1724 (coronation year of Yeongjo) and installed as a crown prince the following year, but died at the age of ten in November 1728. The construction of his tomb took place in winter time, and Yeongjo had a special order not to cause too much trouble for the workers. This uigwe was produced after the construction work was completed on 30th January 1729, and was dedicated to Yeongjo.
