The series of Records of Daily Reflections or Ilseongnok in Korean are treasured royal heritages as well as written inscriptions that remain intact even after many decades. First published by the king Jeongjo (1752 ~ 1800) before the throne succession, who later became the 22nd ruler of Joseon Dynasty (1392 ~ 1910). These books are differentiated from other state publications in a sense that it takes the form of personal journal, naturally reflecting not only historical facts but also a king’s connotations on an array of state affairs and contemporary issues around the time.

Noting importance of daily recording of personal thoughts and historical event, the practicing of writing the journal was soon requested for kings’ liege men as well as other scholars. The documents compiled were considered to be an official record of the court and national affairs, credited to be the one of invaluable memories of the world.
