Korea's oldest-known fighting arts manual, titled "Muyejebo," published in 1598 to train soldiers of the 1392-1910 Joseon Kingdom in armed combat techniques, is among seven cultural heritage items to be newly added to the list of state-recognized treasures, the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) said Friday.
금요일 문화재청은 조선시대(1392~1910) 군사훈련을 위해 1598년 출간돼 국내에서 가장 오래된 무예서라 불리는 ‘무예제보'가 다른 문화재 6건과 함께 보물로 지정 예고되었다고 전했다.


The CHA said "Muyejebo" is a manual published by Hangyo of Hunryeondogam, Joseon's military training office, under King Seonjo's order following the 1592-98 Japanese invasions of Korea, as a training guide designed for Korea's warriors.
문화재청은 ‘무예제보'를 조선시대 군 훈련 기관인 훈련도감의 낭청 한교가 임진왜란(1592-1598) 후인 선조의 명을 받아 조선군을 위해 출간한 무예서라고 설명했다.


It specifically shows how to make weapons including long staffs, shields, spears and swords and the combat techniques for using them.
이 책은 특히 대봉(곤봉), 등패(방패), 장창(긴창), 장도(장검)를 비롯한 무기 제작술과 이들을 사용하는 전투 기술을 보여준다.


First editions were owned by France's University of Languages and Civilizations and Korea's Suwon Hwaseong Museum.
무예제보의 초간본은 프랑스동양어대학과 수원화성박물관에만 소장되어 있다.


Its later woodblock print version, published in 1714, was designated as cultural heritage by the Seoul city government in 2019.
이후 1714년에 중간된 목판본은 지난 2019년 서울시 유형문화재로 지정되었다.


The CHA added that the designation is necessary, as "Muyejebo" inspired other publications during the Joseon era such as "Muyejebo Beonyeoksokjip" (1610), the sequel to "Muyejebo," which was designated as a cultural treasure in 2001.
문화재청은 ‘무예제보'가 지난 2001년 보물로 지정된, 조선시대 당시 ‘무예제보'의 속편 ‘무예제보번역속집(1610)'을 비롯한 여타 서적에 영향을 주었다는 점에서 보물 지정이 필수적이라고 덧붙였다.


They will undergo further review over the next month, prior to being designated as treasures.
문화재청은 다음 달 보물 지정 여부를 확정하기 전 문화재위원회 심의를 거칠 예정이다.
