Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記) was written by Chinese writer Yuan Yong Lun. This book is a record of destroying pirates who were active in southern China from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Very few Chinese historical records contain various contents about pirates, such as Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記). However, the book disappeared from China after it was first published in 1830 in Guangdong. It was not until 2007 that the edition was discovered at the British Library. About 13 years have passed since Jing Hai Fun Ji was introduced, but little research has been done on it. This paper is divided into five chapters. The first is the introduction. The second is the life of writer Yuan Yong-lun (袁永綸), and the Chinese and English translations of Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記). Currently, there are two Chinese and two English versions. Thirdly, the content of Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記) was examined according to the flow of the pirate corps’ formation, expansion of power, division and surrender. Fourth, we analyzed the characteristics and significance of Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記) based on content analysis. The fifth is the conclusion. Through this paper, I hope that Jing Hai Fun Ji (靖海氛記) will raise the interest of domestic researchers and look forward to various follow-up studies.
