The funeral oration is used for memorial rites(祭儀) in remembrance of the deceased(故人) and it is closely related to real life in connection with the realistic element of death. A funeral oration related to well-known writers are often written and conveyed in the literary collection of writers, and in the groups bound to a blood relation and an academic line, the funeral oration of an ancestral writer is selected to be intergrated and contained. Funeral oration selection(祭文抄), the collection(選集) of a funeral oration is handed down as a distinct type from the literary collection of a writer and consists mainly of the funeral oration selected by a transcriber according to the style of 'selection(抄)'. Compilation is collected and written by the disciple of a writer or the descendant in the family, but sometimes depending on the tendency of a transcriber, there are also documents containing poems, writings by famous writers, and miscellaneous records for convenience of living. In accordance with the purpose of compilation, the following are the types of funeral oration selection that are representative. In the case of 『Nongam funeral oration selection(農巖祭文抄)』, which is an collection of the funeral oration of Kim Chang-hyeop, there are 18 records missing compared to 48 articles that contain 『Nongamjip(農巖集)』 and the second volume where a posterity or student of Kim Chang-hyeop transcribed his funeral oration and the transcriber himself created, was presented at the end of it. In case of 『Ancient funeral oration selection(歷代祭文抄選)』 the funeral orations of great masters, the classic of funeral orations were selected and transcribed and the name of the author, word or letter, and a brief description in the shape of annotations in detail at the top and bottom of the sentence are added to help understand the contents. The funeral orations written by Do Yeon-myeong(陶淵明), Han Yu(韓愈), Gu Yang-suh, and So Sik(蘇軾) were arranged in chronological order, without distinguishing four-letter verse and prose style here. 『Garimsago funeral oration selection(嘉林四稿祭文抄選)』 is a collection of funeral orations written by writers within the family including Lee Seo-ju(李瑞胄) and his cousin younger brother Lee Deok-joo(李德胄). 『Jeongsanyeon funeral oration selection(丁巳年祭文抄)』, the selection of Lee In-haeng(李仁行)'s funeral oration where Lee Myeong-geol(李命杰), a descendant of Lee In-haeng, collected and transcribed people's funeral orations handed down in his family, contains several works of local Confucian scholars at that time, making it a good source of understanding the exchanges between the figures and the family. According to the pattern of including, funeral oration selection can be devided into the purpose of achieving sentence power and the purpose of strengthening bonds between families. 「Nongam funeral oration selection(農巖祭文抄)」 recorded the funeral oration of Kim Chang-hyeop not for the purpose of public announcement, but for the personal writing practice. 「Ancient funeral oration selection(歷代祭文抄選)」 can be referred to as compilations and annotations in detail of the classic of the funeral oration, indicating that it is a typical structure for learning the setence power. 『Garimseogo funeral oration selection(嘉林四稿祭文抄選)』 and 『Jeongsanyeon funeral oration selection(丁巳年祭文抄)』, in which the author's relationship network is relatively expressed well, was collected for the purpose of confirming the bonds of the the united family and strengthening the solidarity. In particular, 『Jeongsanyeon funeral oration selection(丁巳年祭文抄)』 contains a large proportion of not only the funeral oration about relatives within the familydoor, but also the funeral oration about people in other family and the funeral oration received again from that family, which reveals the unique debt-ridden nature of family funeral oration, a network of writers and so-called "the debt fot writing(Gulbit)," which revolves around blood ties and friends.
