In 1981, Yipyeongsajip was translated into Korean by the Hanjae family commission and published as the Collection of Hanjae (寒齋文集). The Collection of Hanjae has been studied by many scholars in Korea since. 2. Dabu was translated by many scholars in the past such as Ryuseogyeong (1981), Ven. Yongun (1986), Yoonkyeonghyouk (1999), Kimmyeongbae (1999), Kimgilja (2001), Choiyeongseong (2003), Yipyongin and Yiyoungkyoung (2005), and Ryugeonjib (2009). The scholars translated Dabu based on their unique perspectives and added explanations and annotations to the book. 3. Dabu is composed of a title and main contents. The title is Dabu, followed by the subtitle (幷序). The main contents are composed of 1,328 words divided into the introduction (166 words), main subject (1,056 words), and conclusion (106 words). 4.
