According to the regulations for classifying and filing the official documents from Kabo Reform to the Great Han Empire, each department sorted and filed documents, based on the lower units, that is, ‘Department’ and ‘Section’ in the hierarchy of ‘Ministry-Department-Section’(部-局-課). After the Japanese colonization, the Government-General of Joseon assigned document numbers to these document files, and reclassified documents, based on the unit of ‘Ministry’, and the number of Ministries involved in their transactions. These reclassified documents were not strictly filed in chronological order, some years were overlapped, and some documents with different characteristics were filed together under the same document name and number. Additionally, the Government-General of Joseon modified the original titles of some documents to follow its reclassification system. Although the Government-General of Joseon classified the documents based on the unit of ‘Ministry’, the original document classification system of the Great Han Empire was based on the units of ‘Department’ and ‘Section’ such as The Ministry of Finance the taxes department(司稅局) the land taxes section(地稅課) and the miscellaneous taxes section(雜稅課) or the finance department(司計局) the inspection section(監査課). In the documentation classification regulation of the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ministry of Palace Management specified the minimal unit of classification as Section. Likewise in the Great Han Empire the baseline unit of the document classification was Section. They sorted and filed the documents according to the counterpart institutions corresponding to these Departments and Sections. The sorting and filing system in the Great Han Empire based on Department and Section included the functional document classification system. As Department and Section are divided according to their business, classification by Department and Section means functional classification based on their works. Documents classified by functions corresponding to the related Department and Section were reclassified by the Government-General of Joseon based on ‘Ministry’, which made documents with different characteristics filed in the same file and some documents related to each other were dispersed into different files. Therefore, the documents of the Great Han Empire should be reclassified again, based on the unit of Department and Section.

Wichang,(葦滄) Oh Se-chang(吳世昌) who laid the foundation stone of Korean art history was a compiler, a calligrapher, a bibliographer and a great epigrapher. He also was a great seal engraver who sublimated the engraving into the art and made the big stroke in Korean modern history of engraving. He started to study by himself the seal engraving from his late teens by copying the collections of the past Chinese seal prints(印譜) that his father had collected through his thirteen trips to China as an official interpreter. He copied the past Chinese and Korean seal prints, and also enjoyed the seal engraving holding the seals in his hands through his whole life. Wichang’s fascination with the seal engraving since his youth was further encouraged by the lively activity of Japanese seal engraving community which he had observed during his exile in Japan. After returning to Korea, he could give himself to the seal engraving. He accepted various forms of expression that the engravers of the Ching Period in China had applied to select the materials and forms of seals, makers’ signs and seals on the bells or kettles, Wadang(瓦當), Jeonpyeoe(錢幣), Bongni(封泥), etc, to Inmun(印文) of seals. Accordingly, he could hold an unrivalled position as the master of engraving with his own unique style as well as the style of Japanese chisel. His engraving accepted various styles of scholars in the Ching age and was influenced by Chusa’s view of seal engraving and academic circles. Wichang, while dedicating his time to seal engraving, also did a lot of research on this subject to collect 3,912 articles of the past Korean seals and complie 「Geunyeokinsu(槿域印籔)」. He also compiled 7 collections of his own seal prints such as 「Wichanginbo(葦滄印譜)」, 「Ohssiinjip(吳氏印集)」, etc. These collections can be considered the remarkable achievement as one of the rare collections as well as the very first individual collection of a devoted seal engraver since the seal print collection of Chusa. Since he succeeded the artistic value and spirit of seal engraving established since the period of Chusa and bridged between the modern period and the present, his tremendous impact on the seal engraving could be fully appreciated.
