This text was written in the sixth month of 1773 by King Yŏngjo. In this writing, he commemorates his two essential achievements, Equitable Taxation and dredging of the Ch’ŏnggye stream. The Equitable Taxation system, implemented in 1751, reduced tax burden by one bulk of cotton. The dredging of the Ch’ŏnggye stream began in 1760. The construction included dredging the stream, bolstering the banks, and building bridges. Thirteen years later in 1773, King Yŏngjo resumed the project by ordering the construction of stone embankment along the both sides of the Ch’ŏnggye stream. King Yŏngjo himself was deeply engaged in civil engineering projects. In the middle of a hot summer day, he went to inspect the work and console people by distributing rice and wood to them. This valuable text written in three-character verse form evidences how the Ch’ŏnggye stream, one of the symbols of Seoul today, has been managed and transformed since the late 18th century.
