The favorite gift of Joseon intellectuals, Buyonghyang.
Autumn of 1554, age fifty-five.Toegye Yi Hwang sent a letter to his twenty-five-year-old student, Munwon,along with a pouch of Buyonghyang, and a book. How delighted must the students have been to receive such a surprise gift from their benevolent teacher?
...Sending this to Munwon. I am now studying constantly in tranquility, and the joy of it is endless.I am sending you a pouch of Buyonghyang, hoping it will add even a small touch of refined atmosphere. I am also sending a book compiled from various texts; if everyone reads it, they will come to know the truth of learning. Staying away from home for a long time is tedious. That is all. <Toegyejip>
