This article aims to provide the bibliographic information of Fengyayi Xuanshi published with Gabin type in early Joseon period and to describe the features of its grosses. King Sejong published various books with newly cast types and made local governments to republish them to improve national cultural level. He ordered to publish Xuanshi Yanyi (選詩演義) with Gyeongja type in 1422 and 1434, Fenlei Buzhu Litaibo Shi (分類補註李太白詩) in 1435 and Tang Liuxiansheng Ji (唐柳先生集) in 1440, both of them with Gabin type, and Tangshi Guchui (唐詩鼓吹) and Xuguchui (續鼓吹) with Gabin type, to develop poetics. It was after the series of publication of Chinese literature books that he ordered to publish Fengyayi Xuanshi (風雅翼選詩) edited by Liu Lü (劉履) with Gabin type. Fengyayi Xuanshi is composed of three parts: Xuanshi Buxhu (選詩補註) which is the selection of poems from Wenxuan (文選) and other poems omitted in Wenxuan, Xuanshi Buyi (選詩補遺) which is a collection of literary works chosen from literatures in ancient China as well as works of the masters, and Xuanshi Xubian 選詩續編 which is a collection of poetry in Tang and Song period with Ganxing shi (感興詩) by Zhu Xi (朱熹) attached. Liu made it clear that it was a task to follow up the intention of master Zhu, and that he also followed the way of commentary suggested in Shi Jizhuan (詩集傳) and Chuci jizhu (楚辭集注). The commentary of Xuanshi Buzhu is, in its form, similar to that of Shi Jizhuan which is made up of quannaizhu (圈內註, commentary inside the circle) that explains the meaning of words and its sound etc. and quanwaizhu (圈外註, commentary outside the circle) that explains the meaning of the poems. However, Liu tries to explain the poet's mind behind the words following the flow of sentiment expressed in a poem which is unlike Shi Jizhuan that clarifies the subject of the poems with every sentence explained. As to the theory of Xing (興), Liu follows the theory suggested in Shiji zhuan on the whole.
