We would like to thank the editors of Acta Koreana for allowing us to import selections from the analytical framework that were first published by Xin Wei in 2007. That original essay was greatly improved by wise advice from two anonymous reviewers for the journal. This introduction and the translations that follow below have benefited enormously from advice and suggestions from the Korean Classics Library Editorial Board and especially from two anonymous reviewers, to whom we owe a deep debt of gratitude. We also offer our appreciation to Dr. Thomas Quartermain for creating the map of Yi Saeks route to Daidu. This work was supported by the English Translation of 100 Korean Classics program through the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies. Finally, we offer our grateful appreciation to Dr. Jennifer Jung-Kim, who shepherded our manuscript through all the trials and tribulations of publication. Needless to say, all remaining mistakes are our responsibility. viii
Wei, Song Chinas Role in Shaping Late Kory Literature, 3768.
The earliest edition of the Tongmunsn was printed in 1478 with rhae type. A reset edition was made in 1482 with kabin type.
For books 96 through 99, which are translated here, we used the electronic version of the Tongmunsn available through the Hanguk kojn chonghap DB (database) prepared by the Hanguk Kojn Pnygwn (Institute for the Translation of Korean Classics, formerly the Minjok Munhwa Chujinhoe). We augmented the Hanguk kojn chonghap DB electronic edition by referring to conveniently available, published facsimile versions produced in Korea and Japan by the Minjok Munhwa Chujinhoe (1998) and the Ty Bunka Kenkyjo of Gakushin University (1970). Both the Minjok Munhwa Chujinhoe and the Ty Bunka Kenkyjo editions carry the same layout (ten columns per page with nineteen characters in each column), but they differ in significant ways.
The Minjok Munhwa Chujinhoe edition was first published in the 1960s and 1970s and reprinted in 1998. The 1998 facsimile edition is an amalgamation of a 1915 edition by the Chsen kosho kankkai , which is thought to be a facsimile of a 1478 typeset edition, and a facsimile produced in 1966 by the Kynghi Publishing Company () of a private woodblock version of indeterminate dating preserved in the household of Yi Usng .
The Ty Bunka Kenkyjo edition presents the text preserved in the Hsa Bunko in Nagoya, Japan, which is largely complete except for a few interpolated pages preserved in the Naikaku Bunko. Suematsu Yasukazu states that the printing is from the first half of the sixteenth century, Although inconclusive, we hypothesize that the Minjok Munhwa Chujinhoe edition dates from the early seventeenth century, and the Ty Bunka Kenkyjo edition dates from the late sixteenth century. The provenance of the Ty Bunka Kenkyjo edition is unclear, but it may have been taken to Japan during the Imjin War as were many of the Korean books in the Hsa Bunko.
All transliterations of Chinese are in pinyin, Korean is in McCune-Reischauer, and Japanese is in Revised Hepburn. Although James Legges transliterations are in a variety of forms, whenever possible, we have converted these to pinyin, but we have retained certain original transliterations for the location of passages.
Translations of passages from Chinese classical texts were compared to Legges translations and generally follow Legge, except where noted. Citations locate the references to Legges translations, but the rendition of book titles in our translated material does not follow Legges renditions, and we present more commonly used titles for Chinese classical texts. The following is a table of equivalences.
| L egge | T ongmunsn translation |
| Confucian Analects | Analects |
| The Great Learning | Great Learning |
| The Doctrine of the Mean | Doctrine of the Mean |
| The Works of Mencius | Mencius |
| The Shoo King (or The Book of Historical Documents) | Book of Documents |
| The She King (or The Book of Poetry) | Book of Songs |
| The Chun Tsew | Spring and Autumn Annals |
| Tso Chuen | Zuo Zhuan |
| Li Ki | Records of Ritual |
| The Hsio King | Book of Filial Piety |
| The Y King | Book of Changes |
| The Writings of Kwang-ze | Zhuangzi |
All dates prior to the first millennium are marked with BCE, but all CE dates are left unmarked.
These moveable metal type fonts are some of the earliest in the world. Their names (rhae and kabin) refer to the years of production.
