The original document is housed in the National Museum of Korea. During Joseon Dynasty, efforts were made to collect and preserve the handwritings of the kings. In this regard, the king’s handwriting was often carved into a stone, and the rubbed prints were bound as collections of the king’s calligraphy. The full texts of the document were compiled on three stones: Changdeok 6643, Changdeok 6645, and Changdeok 6644.
