The truth of history is never,
It is not covered by a few lines of text

『The Diary of a Warrior with Sympathy and Punctuation』 is not an easy book to read.
This is only natural, as it is not an easily written book.

This book is the result of meticulously reviewing and proofreading 『Yongsa Ilgi』, published in 1763, based on Songam Ino's war record 『Yongsa Sajeok』.
This document, which recorded the horrific scenes of the Imjin War over two years, depicts the scene of desperate struggle.
It reveals in detail the bravery of the common people and righteous armies in the Gyeongsang Province region, as well as the shame of the cowards.
The petitions and royal edicts submitted to the king are also valuable as historical materials.

After years of intense research, the author compared and contrasted passages added and revised later, as well as articles published in other collections, and made corrections and marks without exception.

The difficult footnotes of the existing translation have been removed, and the handwritten sentences convey truths that future readers should not forget.
The appendix includes the original text in color, with actual translations and annotations, adding vivid value as a historical record.

As I said before, this is definitely not a light book.
However, I am confident that within that weight, the eyes that look at history will deepen and the horizon of perception will broaden.


In December 1960, when the scars of the Korean War still lingered, the Institute of Korean-Japanese Culture at Pusan ​​National University translated this 『Yongsa Ilgi』 into Korean along with Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong's Jingbirok and released 100 copies as non-sale items to the world, with the aim of using it as a noble guideline for overcoming national crisis.
It's almost pitiful how small it looks.

Afterwards, Jeon Gyu-tae published the translated version through Eulyu Publishing Company for unknown reasons and made it known to the world. Professor Lee Jae-ho and the Uiryeong Cultural Center also copied and published the version as if they were reprints.

However, the previous translation had problems with readability due to the fact that the Korean spelling was somewhat different from today's and there were many parts with footnotes.
All the rest of the commercially released ones were nothing more than copies of the old ones.

Accordingly, the passages that were added to the 『Yongsa Ilgi』 based on the 『Yongsa Sajeok』, the original 『Yongsa Ilgi』, or that were changed while being transferred to 『Hakbongjip』, 『Hakbong Eonhaengnok』, and 『Hakbong Haengjang』 were thoroughly based on the original of the historical records.
I went through all the articles written in the same style in Cho Kyung-nam's "Nanjungjaprok" and other scholars' anthologies and corrected them.

『Yongsa Diary』records in detail the many misdeeds of the people, including their massacre and torture, and their abandonment and flight from the camp.
This is a very painful record for their descendants who could not raise their heads for hundreds of years.

And, there is another reason for the existence of the warrior's diary.
In January 1747, the official seal of the Gyeongsang Province Military Commissioner was discovered on a sandbank in the Namgang River.


This was found on the waist of a soldier named Yu Seung-in who was slaughtered at the east gate of Jinjuseong Fortress in October of the Imjin Year. It is assumed that it was left behind when Gyeongsang Right Military Commander Choi Gyeong-hoe drank alcohol, composed the Samjangsa poem, and jumped into the river when Jinjuseong Fortress fell, and it is said to serve as a bridgehead to rebuke all the petty atrocities committed by the descendants of the Honam warriors, such as taking Nongae as a concubine.

In conclusion, this book clearly indicates which parts of the 『Yongsa Ilgi』 published in 1763 were added to and which were altered from the original.
If you look at the “Yongsa Diary Proofreading and Communication Record” based on the paragraphs in bold, you can get a sense of the background.
Although it has been edited to make it easier to read by removing difficult footnotes and annotations, it cannot be denied that it will still not be easy for future readers.
