One of the earliest extant works by Choe Han-gi (1803-1877), this book lays out his ideas about the administration of the state and the world through the voice of a common man without a government post. The author's discussion on practical measures for good governance is based on relevant texts in the Confucian classics, Records of the Grand Historian, episodes of peace and/or turmoil in history, and contemporary situations comparable with them.
