'''''Yongbiŏch'ŏn'ga''''' (), was the first work written in Hangul. The book was published in 1447 and written by Chŏng Inji, An Chi and Kwŏn Chae. The preface was written by Sŏng Sammun and Pak P'aengnyŏn.
The epic poem concerned the Joseon dynasty and Sejong's immediate predecessors, and was a justification of the dynasty change from Goryeo to Joseon. Today, the Songs provide insight into the development of Joseon, the Korean people, and the history of neighboring ethnicities in Northeast Asia such as the Jurchens (Manchus) who would later establish the Qing dynasty of China.
