This collection is composed of 18 handwritten congratulatory poems written by Kang Yi-bok’s relatives and acquaintances who gathered to celebrate a banquet held on November 28 for his widowed mother. Kang received a government post at the age of 30 in 1765. Considering that the cover of the collection was titled Gawon Cheom (家源籤), it appears that it had been kept by the Kang family in Jinju and was later entrusted to Lee Ga-won, to make a cover. The protagonist of the banquet, Kang Yi-bok, was born as Yuho and his father was named Kang Wi. His grandfather is Kang Se-yun. and his maternal grandfather is Lee Jik. Kang Yi-bok was appointed to a civil service posi ion in 1765 a he age of 30.

The works contained in this collection of poems were written by Kang Se-hwang, the great-uncle of Kang Yi-bok, as the first ode to the banquet, and later, all 17 people recited them according to Pyoam's rhyme. Therefore, the poetry album contains a total of 18 poems written by 18 people. The people who rhyme with it are Kang Eom, Kang Yi-bok, Kang In, Kang Gwan, Kang Bin, Nam Gang-ro, Nam Tae-je, Heo Pil, Sin Gwang-su, Lm Hui-u, Kang Seok-gwi, O Jun-geun, Kwon Hang-eon, Jeong Hyeok-ryong, Jeong Un-deok, No I-jeom, and Yu Jung-rim.
