  Classical Chinese, Classical Korean
  Korea, 18th century, paper

  The main text of this 18th-century illustrated Korean thread-bound book contains stories exemplifying brotherly love and friendship, two of the traditional five Confucian values (the remaining virtues are filial piety, loyalty, and wifely chastity). It is written in Classical Chinese, but its explanatory comments are in the indigenous Korean Han’gŭl script. The story illustrated here is about the support two stepbrothers gave each other, in the face of a wicked stepmother.
