「Hapicheop」 is a folding book that Dasan Jeong Yak-yong made out of a skirt that his wife sent while he was living in exile in Gangjin. ‘Hapi’ means the sunset yellow skirt and it metaphorically expresses the washed-out skirt that his wife, Lady Hong, wore when she married him. Jeong Yak-yong pass along his entreaties to his two sons, Hak-yeon (1783~1859) and Hak-yoo (1786~1855) through this folding book he made out of the skirt that his wife sent.
「Hapicheop」 is filled with lessons for his two sons and descendants such as the bond between family members, the mental attitude for classical scholars, and attitude toward life. It is also written in various calligraphic styles from semi-cursive style to cursive style, seal style, and clerical style, showing the calligraphic styles of Jeong Yak-yong. The main relics exhibited include 「Hapicheop」 (Treasure No. 1683-2) and <Maehwabyeong Jedo>.

In the spring of 1807, Lady Hong sent her husband Dasan, who was living in exile, her red silk skirt which she had worn when they were married. Dasan used the old skirt to write some lessons from 1807 to 1809 for his two sons, and he named the calligraphic album hapicheop. It originally consisted of four pieces, but now only three pieces remain.
