The Jewang Un'gi (Songs of Emperors and Kings) is a historical poem composed by Yi Seung-hyu (李承休) in 1287, in the late Goryeo period.
Yi composed the text after retiring from government service to the Cheoneunsa monastery on Duta-san mountain in Samcheok, in present-day Gangwon province.
On April 1, 1965, the version kept in Uiwang was designated South Korean National Treasure No.
[8] Another version, held at the Samseong Museum of Publishing in Seoul, was designated National Treasure No.
[9] The Jewang Ungi consists of two volumes, both written in seven-character verse; the first deals with the history of China from the earliest years to the Jin dynasty (1115–1234), and the second covers Korean history from Dangun to King Chungnyeol.
