Historical Review of Pinanhaengnok

when the Imjin War broke out and led the Bunjo with Gwanghaegun. He kept a record of what he experienced during the evacuation and what happened that day. The book is called The Yongsailgi(龍蛇日記). In addition to the description of the incident, this book contains various documents sent by Jeongtak to King Seonjo. This material is very important in that it was written by a bureaucrat who assisted the king during the war. This book was later included in Jeongtak's collection under the name of Pinanhaengnok(避難行錄). This book contains a number of articles that cannot be found in the Yongsailgi. Through this book, we can infer the original form of the Yongsailgi. Considering that the articles of the two books coincide, it is certain that the Yongsailgi is the base of the Pinanhaengnok. The Pinanhaengnok are very valuable in that they are records of Jeongtak instead of serving Gwanghaegun, who led the Bunjo. The records of Jeongtak, who was following Seonjo and Gwanghaegun, are very valuable data that can supplement the poor records of Seonjo in that many historical records were lost due to the war. In future studies, historical research on the records of the war left by Jeong Tak is urgently required.
