Abstract

As the books about conversation in writing with Chinese literary men when Hong, Dae-Yong visited China as an envoy, there are 『Ganjeongdonghoewoorok』, 「Ganjeongpildam」 and 「Ganjeongdongpildam」. Out of them, the『Ganjeongdonghoewoorok』 was compiled into a revised edition『Ganjeongrok』and currently, only two books out of three are stored up in the Korea Christian Museum at Soongsil University. Right after coming back to Korea, Hong, Dae-Yong compiled the 『Ganjeongdonghoewoorok』and then corrected it into a revision『Ganjeongrok』again. After that, largely modifying the『Ganjeongrok』he produced the 「Ganjeongpildam」 composed of two books. And after Hong, Dae-Yong died, in the process of compiling the 『Damheonseo』, the 「Ganjeongdongpildam」 composed of two books was produced by modifying the 『Ganjeongrok』 again. In the results of comparing the contents of those three materials, the 「Ganjeongpildam」 and the 「Ganjeongdongpildam」 were derived from the Ganjeongrok. The 「Ganjeongpildam」 is the one largely modified while the 「Ganjeongdongpildam」 is the one slightly modified. The 「Ganjeongpildam」 was produced by deleting the contents of 『Ganjeongrok』like “complicating and rough contents” in Hong, Dae-Yong’s opinion, or “boring and absurd contents” by Ban, Jeong-Gyun, and “worrying about being multitudinous all the time” by Kim, Jae-Haeng. However, the 「Ganjeongdongpildam」 reproduced by his descendant Hong, Yeong-Seon after Hong, Dae-Yong died revived a considerable amount of the contents deleted by Hong, Dae-Yong. Contrary to Hong, Dae-Yong’s opinion, the parts considered as interesting out of the contents must be revived to produce it close to the original. Meanwhile, there are contents commonly deleted in both 「Ganjeongpildam」 and 「Ganjeongdongpildam」, and they could be the deletion of the misrepresentation completely different from the fact, contents related to private life, or the contents that could hurt someone’s pride.
