Abstract

This paper presents a later-time mention and evaluation of 『Ganyangnok』, a representative writing on prisoners of war during the Imjinwaeran War period. To this end, Chapter 2 briefly summarizes the composition and contents of 『Ganyangnok』. 『Ganyangnok』 was found to consist of 5 articles and to contain a lot of information and tactics about Japan. 『Ganyangnok』 was written by Gang Hang when he as a government official was determined to collect and record the information about the enemy country of Japan including the various situations which he underwent while staying long in various places in Japan. Chapter 3 presents a later-time comment and evaluation of 『Ganyangnok』. 『Ganyangnok』 was used and mentioned in various literature such as personal collections of literature, writings of Neo-Confucian scholars, diaries of emissaries, etc. It was evaluated as containing empirical data on Japanese history, geography and institutions, data for judging Japan's situations during the Imjinwaeran War period, and tactics to be utilized by Joseon. In the academic writings of Neo-Confucian scholars such as 『Dongsa Gangmok』 by An Jeong-bok, 『Chengjanggwan Jeonseo』 by Yi Deok-mu, 『Seongho Saseol』 by Yi Ik, and 『Gyeongje Yupyo』 by Jeong Yak-yong, 『Ganyangnok』 was used as an empirical data, and as an important source of evidence to evaluate prisoners of war in Japan during the Imjin War. In addition, the strategy related to castle towns in 『Ganyangnok』 was evaluated positively and mentioned in various literature. Finally, Chapter 4 summarizes the meaning of the later-time evaluation of 『Ganyangnok』 in three ways. First, it makes it possible to know the value of 『Ganyangnok』, second, it makes it possible to see the power of writing, and third, it suggests the possibility of a modern application of 『Ganyangnok』.
