1. "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" is a Korean annotation emergency treatment book made by scholars that were learned in medicine such as Naeuiwon(內醫院) head Yoo n Ho(尹壕) Seo Ha gun(西河君) Im Won jun(任元濬) GongJoChamPan(工曹參判) Park An sung(朴安性) Hanseongbu Jwayun(漢城府左尹) Gwon Geon(權健) SungRokDaeBuHaengByeongJoPanSeo(崇祿大夫行兵曹判書) YangCheonGun(陽川君) Heo Jong(許琮) following instructions of King Sungjong. This book was made by supplementing "EiBangRyuChwi(醫方類聚)", "HyangYakJeSengBang(鄕藥濟生方)" and "GuGeupBang(救急方)". When Yoon Ho presented it the king in May 1489(the 20th year of Sungjong), the king made the governors of each province publish it in large numbers, allowing common people to have this book and find the treatment immediately and save lives. 2. "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" consists of 8 volumes, 127 chapters. Contents on stroke is the largest section. Separate chapters for gynecology and pediatrics let children that are easily ill and women that cannot get treatment freely be taken care of. It is an first aid medical book covering all ages, fulfilling its original purpose.

1. An analysis of "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" through Gwakran(霍亂) showed that the reference books are not concretely cited, but the symptoms are described in detail ed to let the common people understand and deal with Gwakran(霍亂) easily. It has the most detailed among Korean annotation emergency treatment books. It focuses on moxibustion and hot medicinal compress rather than acupuncture. The Korean annotation is translated in the order of the Korean language, so anyone can execute the treatments. The annotation used a lot of active verbs, so it is more of a book for the patient, not the doctor. So we can understand that this book is focused on the practical tips at an actual emergency situation. 2. "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" is the most complete emergency treatment book and a Hangul medical book, which is scarce. It was published shortly after the invention of Hangul. It is an important material showing how terms related to medicine such as disease, prescriptions, symptoms were understood and expressed. As it is important in both medical book presswork study and Korean language study, it is designated as treasure. 3. The existing "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" seem to be a reissued version. It is also not complete and scattered in several places. Volumes 1,2,3,6 and 7 survived, and volumes 4,5 and 8 have not been found yet.
