This study examined the relationship between the editing process and timing of the compilation of Hong Da Rong's Korean Yan Xing (燕行) record, Yibingyanxinglu (乙丙燕行錄), which has not been covered in detail in previous studies. The study compared this work with the Chinese versions of the Ganjinglu (乾凈錄) and Yan Xing texts and analyzed the relationship between them. The following facts were uncovered based on the literature data of various Yan Xing records compiled by Hong Da Rong. Firstly, the reason why Hong Da Rong compiled “乙丙燕行錄” was that he had prepared several trips to Yan Xing, and he considered the literature of the Yan Xing records to be very valuable. After visiting Beijing, he intentionally compiled his Yan Xing records. After the compilation of the Chinese version of Ganjinglu, the Korean version of Yibingyanxinglu was compiled shortly thereafter. Secondly, the Korean version of Yibingyanxinglu is the best written Yan Xing diary. “YanJi(燕記)” and “writing conversation(筆譚)” records were written by the subject category. In Yibingyanxinglu, the same items are compared and explained using various examples as the Ganjingbitan, Ganjingtongbitan, and YanJi records. This study found that Yibingyanxinglu is not a Yan Xing record, but was translated from an original copy of the abovementioned Chinese versions of Ganjinglu and YanJi. Thirdly, as the content of Yibingyanxinglu is very similar to the content of Ganjinglu, it is presumed that these two copies are diary memos that were written by Hong Da Rong during his visit to China at the time. It is difficult to determine whether the diary memos were written in the Chinese or Korean language. This problem can be solved only when evidence related to these copies is found. Through the above findings, this study was able to understand the background and timing of the compilation of the Korean version of Yibingyanxinglu compiled by Hong Da Rong, and its relationship with the Chinese texts. This study offers valuable data for future research on the vast collection of Yan Xing records compiled by Hong Da Rong.
