A writing in Korean in 1762 (Year 38 of Yeongjo) to encourage abstention from drinking (1757) that Yeongjo ordered earlier. In Gyoseo office, they published in Korean metal type. Through the front and the last pages of the document, we can see that it was published in 1762. One phrase says, “This time we write in metal printing so that it is clear to see, and although written in Korean, you can all understand”, which shows that they only published Korean version unlike other books which co-produces Chinese version.
