¹One day, while in Jojong-ri Village, Taemonim announced, “A work of renewal for the Ship of South Joseon must be conducted today.”²She commanded Go Min-hwan, “Compose song lyrics and bring them to Me.” When he did so, She said, “Read them once.” Min-hwan recited the lyrics loudly.

³“Well done,” Taemonim commended, then She summoned scores of followers.⁴She designated Gim Won-myeong of Haengjeong Village in Iksan County and Jeon Nae-eon of Okgu County as co-captains and had them lead in singing the song as a chantey.⁵She also had the remaining scores of disciples sing the chantey for several hours.

⁶Afterward, Taemonim revealed, “This is the work of rowing the Ship of South Joseon—the work of bringing forth both the holy master and virtuous sages.”⁷She continued, “A harbinger precedes any enterprise.” After this work of renewal was completed, She rewarded everyone with food and rice wine.
