The Muyesinbo (or ''Muyeshinbo'', meaning "new compendium of martial arts") is a Korean martial arts manual published in 1759.〔Ehwa University Press 2008, Sippalgi: Traditional Korean Martial Arts, Dr. B.K. Choi〕 The book is a revision of the older ''Muyejebo'', made during the reign of King Youngjo (1724–1776). It adds twelve disciplines or "skills" of both armed and unarmed fighting by Prince Sado to the original six which were descbribed in the ''Muyejebo''. No copies of the ''Muyesinbo'' have survived, but its contents can easily be determined by tracing back and comparing the ''Muyejebo'' with the later ''Muyedobotongji''. Prince Sado also originated the term ''Sib Pal Gi'' (십팔기, 十八技, “Eighteen () Methods” or possibly "Eighteen () Tools” if using 十八器), shortened from ''Bonjo Muye Sib Pal Ban'' (본조무예십팔반, 本條武藝十八般, "A Treatise on the 18 Martial Categories of the Yi Dynasty"). This mirrors the Chinese concept of the "Eighteen Arms of Wushu" (十八般兵器) to identify the Korean collection of weapons depicted in the Mu Ye Sin Bo (note that 十八般兵器 is pronounced ''Sip Pal Ban Byeong Gi'' in Korean, 십팔반병기, where the words ''Ban Byeong'' are left out to render Prince Sado's term, and these omitted words roughly translate as "martial methods" making them essentially superfluous when taken in context). == Historical background == The earlier manual of 1610, Muyejebo (“Martial Arts Illustrations”) had as its background the Imjin War (1592–1598), which revealed severe shortcomings in the Korean national army causing King Seonjo (1567–1608) to order reforms based on the successful training model of the Chinese General Qi Jiguang (1527–1587). During the reign of King Yeongjo (1724–1776) the ''Muyejebo'' was revised, and supplemented with 12 additional fighting methods by Prince Sado, published in 1759. Prince Sado was the heir-apparent of king Yeongjo, but he suffered from a mental illness which triggered violent outbreaks. After the prince took to randomly killing and raping people in the palace, he was executed by suffocation in 1762, aged 27. Both the ''Muyejebo'' and ''Muyesinbo'' formed the basis for the later ''Muyedobotongji'' ("Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts") of 1795, which added 4 already depicted disciplines only as executed on horseback (namely: flag spear, twin sabres, moon-knife, and flail) in addition to horsemanship itself as well as a polo-like game, bringing the total number of systems to 24. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muyesinbo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
