Comprising a preface, sixteen main essays, and six supplementary essays, Seongho's New Compilation presents clear definitions, compelling arguments, conceptual innovations, vivid analogies, and original diagrams thatilluminate the intricacies of Confucian moral psychology. This work offers enduring insights into the nature of human emotions and practical guidance for moral cultivation.
