This research investigates Jeonbyol-sicheob, owned by the Prehistoric Museum of Daejeon Metropolitan City. Major findings are as follows:(1) Jeonbyol-sicheob is the only collection of farewell poems and proses in Korea. This book included the writings of 33 persons conferred on Cho Joonghoe who was sent as an envoy to China in 1751(27th year of King Yeoungjo). (2) Cho Joonghoe(1711-1782), the receiver of Jeonbyol-sicheob, was a politician who worked during 1736(12th year of King Yeoungjo)-1779(27th year of King Jeongjo), and assumed to be faithful to his duty. (3) The size of Jeonbyol-sicheob is 47cm⨉50cm and it has 34 pages for 33 poems except a cover of the book. (4) Many of writers put their nicknames without last name in Jeonbyol-sicheob. In this research, 24 writers were identified by their full names, and among them 16 writers’ dates of birth and death were confirmed. (5) Jeonbyol-sicheob consists of 20 poems using seven-letters by 1 line, 4 poems using five-letters by 1 line and 8 pieces of proses. (6) An analysis of 6 poems in Jeonbyol-sicheob shows that the main themes include the words of encouragement for a long and rough journey to China and the advice on the proper attitude as an envoy of the Joseon Dynasty. Also some displeasures about the need for paying attributes to the Ching Dynasty founded by Chinese Barbarians were also expressed in some works.
