This paper is the first analysis of the work of Kim Ahn-ro in the middle of the Chosun dynasty, which summarizes the life and behavior of his father Kim Huen(金訢). It focused on the characteristic aspects such as the criteria of the anecdote selection and the way of expression, and examined Kim's awareness of the times. Kim Ahn-ro pick up his father’s poetry at 1513. And he selected 43 special anecdotes in his father's life. In this process, Kim Jong-jik(金宗直) greatly borrowed the form and problem consciousness of IICHUNROK(彛尊錄), which summarized his life and behavior. In Kim Ahn-ro's writings, feelings of sadness or loss of father's absence were weakened, and instead, overall respect for father's life was strengthened. In addition, the emotions of recalling the ‘father's age’ are more important than the Kim Jong-jik. The Word and Behavior of the Father(先府君遺行) is based on the importance of the academic efforts of the gentry(士大夫), together with the age of harmony in which such gentries are recognized by advanced monarchs and a seniors. Kim Ahn-ro recalls the era of Seongjong as the peaceful reign, where the gentry did not conflict with one another but recognized each other through faith and literary works. He described his father 's life on the political side, guarding his attitude to comply with the hierarchy and despise his superior. On the other hand, in the academic aspect, it takes a positive attitude to promote the relationship with Kim Jong-jik. The anecdotes presented are somewhat different from those of the exemplary Confucian scholars. In other words, it seems that Kim Ahn-ro's work to arrange his father's remembrance and summarize his father’s Word and Behavior was a good opportunity to prospect the succession of King Seongjong(成宗) and to endure his will to succeed. It is not the intention to assume the father's life as the standard of the gentry, but to confirm the milestone reminding the way to go through the father's time.
