This article introduces the current status of Hong, Dae-yong's written conversation variants and divides it into three major groups. Which are 1. Hoeurok(會友錄) group variants, 2 Ganjeongpildam(乾淨筆譚) in Yeonhwi(燕彙), 3. Ganjeongpildam(乾淨衕筆談) in Damheonseo(湛軒書). This article focused on different characteristics between groups 2 Ganjeongpildam in Yeonhwi and 3. Ganjeongpildam in Damheonseo. A total of eight variants are currently available for Ganjeongpildam. It seems to have been circulated as a set together with Yeonhaengjapgi(燕行雜記). Ganjeongpildam is a solitary written conversation written for the purpose of publicizing to the unspecified number of people in Chosun. It provides the necessary beforehand information in preface of the written conversation, and it adds a lot of ephemeral writings with Hangzhou(杭州) scholars so that the process of deepening friendship for a short period of time is convincingly drawn. In addition, it revealed that Hong, Dae Yong limited the range of his dissemination to Chosun through passages expressing Ming Dynasty ruined country’s consciousness. Ganjeongdongpildam has more contents than Ganjeongpildam, This book can be said to be a treasure trove of written conversation, which Hong, Dae-yong tried to record as many stories as possible. Various artifacts and institutions of Chosun and Qing Dynasty were introduced throughout the written conversation, and characters with various nationalities and identities are appearing and their true aspects are well portrayed. In addition, Hong, Dae Yong affirmed the reign of Qing Dynasty and appreciated the real diplomatic relations with Chosun. In this way, there is a lot of interesting material in Ganjeongpildam, and it can be said that Ganjeongpildam is closer to that of Ganjeongdonghoeurok(乾淨衕會友錄), Ganjeongrok(乾淨錄) which is early variant of written conversation.
