In this study, Samryesugwon is compared with King Jeongjo's anthology because it is not clear why King Jeongjo made Samryesugwon from the Three Classics of Li in a same category but in two different text. As results of this study, it is hard to find information of title because there is no table of contents on the Samryesugwon. Also, King Jeongjo considered and respected the Yili and Zhouli as the original Classics of Li, but not the Liji.

This research has an academic significance because it figure out the reason why King Jeongjo compiled the Samryesugwon and what his perspective on the Three Classics of Li by textual analyzing as abridgment book.
