A Study of the Background in 〈Lady Seol’s Kwonsonmun(薛氏夫人勸善文)〉

"The Precept for Human Rights of the Seol Clan" by Sun Chang-seol (1429-1508), a government official, is the oldest promotion of virtue text of Joseon left by an individual, and is very meaningful. Soon Chang-seol, a government official, was the first female writer, painter, and calligrapher in Joseon dinasity, 75 years before Sin Saimdang was born. This promotion of virtue text is a valuable artifact of Mrs. Seol's achievements in calligraphy and painting, as well as a measurement and standard of Buddhist culture at that time. Since Joseon was a country where Confucianism was established, officials in the Joseon Dynasty, which was centered on the “godfather of Shinheungsa” criticized Buddhism beyond the criticism of Buddhism by Buddhist Buddhism. However, from “King Taejo”, most of the royal family, including the king were in a position to prevent the abolition of the Buddhist community which caused social problems rather than the policy of deterrence. In particular, during the reign of King Seongjong from King Sejong, where the government, Soon Chang-seol lived, it was friendly to Buddhism, including publishing copies of Buddhist texts such as "Seokbosangjeol" and "Wolincheon Gangjigok." In particular, King Sejo claimed to be a Buddhist disciple and built the “Odaesan Sangwonsa Temple Jungchangwon Gate”, and circulated it to the central government and local officials to raise funds for the reconstruction of the “Sangwonsa Temple”. With this extensive circulation to the "Odaesan Sangwonsa Temple" became a sample of promotion of virtue text which was later produced. And 17 years after this, the "Seol Clan's Human Rights Proposition" is based on the style of “Jo Maengbu” which was popular at the time, and the style of the border line, line, and seal which according to the status of the upper and lower ranks. However, the "Seolsibu Human Rights Proposition" has its own special features, which provide a preview of the temple with its unique narrative style and incredible writing and the first “Cheongnoksan Painting” of the Joseon Dynasty.
