This study is to aim for look into a distinctive feature and writing's background of 「Ganghangjeon(姜沆傳)」 by An Seok-kyeong. After reading 『Ganyanglok(看羊錄)』, he omitted, united, rearranged, and then reconstructed it for ‘Jeon(傳)’. That is 「Ganghangjeon(姜沆傳)」, the product from mixing his negative cognition against Japan with his experiences of reading. Also, it is watched that he reflected on concern about coping with the critical consciousness of the times as an intellectual in the later Joseon. Its framework is in focus on clearing up the Japanese situation unlike some other biography. By borrowing a form of Socha(疏箚), he tied the objective facts of the Japanese situation into the subject matters and recorded it intensively after re-constructing records of 『Ganyanglok(看羊錄)』 and describing a biography of Ganghang(姜沆) concisely. In consequence, it can be estimated that though 「Ganghangjeon(姜沆傳)」 takes a genre of Jeon(傳), it would rather have significance as practical literature grouping after the way for Joseon to cope with Japan in the rapidly changing East Asian situation, than a work involved with literary or artistic merit.
