Uigwe are highly detailed records that comprehensively document the procedures for important official rites and ceremonies of the Joseon Dynasty. Like many other state records from the Joseon period, two types of Uigwe were produced: one copy for the king and several copies to be stored in the archives as an official record. Both types contained the same contents, but Uigwe for the king were made with superior materials and production methods.
