On: The decision of this Reordering Work
Editorial paraphrase of the source · Jeon-gyeong, Reordering Works 2.17, official Daesoon Jinrihoe English edition; editorial paraphrase
The report places the conversation after work involving yin and yang. Sangje is preparing the first Reordering Work for the Later World and asks Park Gong-Wu to identify a crucial problem. Gong-Wu initially declines because he considers his knowledge limited, but then proposes changing the treatment of widows. He criticizes the custom that required them to remain isolated and unmarried for the rest of their lives. He proposes public, respectful remarriage ceremonies, pairing younger widows and widowers and older widows and widowers, with relatives and friends present. Sangje approves, saying that he assigned the task to Gong-Wu because he expected him to settle it. He then declares that the decision will endure for fifty thousand years. The sentence displayed in the source passage concerns this change in marriage customs.
