The purpose of this paper is to report a newly discovered book whose title is Ikkam (翼鑑) and prepare for a full-scale study. The book, Ikkam, has a variety of contexts in which it seems to be written by Park Ji-won. First, 'Sanin' in 'Yeonam-Sanin' is consistent with the behaviors of Yeonam Park Ji-won who lived in hiding in the Yeonam valley in 1777. In addition, many statements written in the introduction, such as "as we stick to the old things, we do not know a makeshift", "we are well versed in changes" and "many soldiers are not always good" remind us of other writings of Park Ji-won. Moreover, he writes the statements using antithesis. It is the force of writing style of a literary person who is not engaged in medical service. In addition, he puts six qi in the introduction, but it is not as sophisticated as Jejungsinpyeon (濟衆新編). It suggests that this book may be published earlier than Jejungsinpyeon. When comparing Ikkam with Euimunbogam (醫門寶鑑) and Jejungsinpyeon, it seems common to place six qi in the introduction at the time. In addition, through this book, we find that Park Ji-won known as a writer of Geumryosocho (金蓼小抄) has fairly much knowledge in the medicine. We can estimate his passion and depth about the medicine through a longing for a new medical book shown in the introduction of Geumryosocho. However, various approaches to similar disease symptoms shown in the introduction help us to recognize his true qualities in the medicine. In addition, like other experience prescriptions, this book excludes prescriptions using medicinal herbs with toxicity or rare medicinal herbs in the situation with a limited supply of them in remote areas but includes prescriptions which are widely used. It shows that experience prescriptions in the Joseon Dynasty are effective to specifically identify medicinal herbs and prescriptions which are widely used in Korea. These values cannot be compensated by Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑) which has an infinite value.

This study found the value of counseling in the life and philosophy of Yeonam Park Ji Won and extracted the counseling elements. Finally, this study systematized them as the counselor's good attitude, the counselor's ability for human relationships and the counseling strategy for helping other people. The counselor's attitude which we can learn from Yeonam is to give a deep impression, to converse making other's thought to expand, to initiate other people into the way of enjoying life, to scold for other's desirable change and growth, to use various cautionary topic, to make use of a good sense of humor, to make use of a creative methods, to make other people to mature in their ability. It is meaningful that this study systematized the counselor's good attitude and counseling strategy which are able to be used in modern counseling through the life and philosophy of Yeonam.

This study examined how Ji-Won Park(Yeonam) created the eaning of things based on the epic of self and how his travel experience manifested on the epic of self. First of all, the author examined that how Yeonam interpreted the meaning of things based on his own reflection using the examples of "The Golden Arbor" and "Baeki-Sukje." As a result, the author found that Yeonam focused on the material value of "the Golden Arbor" rather than the reason of creation of "The Golden Arbor." Yeonam also used "Baeki-Sukje" as an ironic representation rather than the original meaning of loyalty and integrity. Second, it helped to present personal self epic since travel experience and the atmosphere of the travel journey could reduce the pressure from the epic of society on individuals. For instance, when Ji-Won Park (Yeonman) traveled the China (the country of Chung) where society promoted public welfare, Yeonman was able to express himself freely which showed utilitarian over justice. Finally, the author talked about how a book of travels can be used for the case of literature therapy since "Yeulhailgi" was written by Yeonam while he was traveling. The author indicated that it might be useful for the patients to write own travel journey since the therapist could analyze the mind of patients by the epic of self. In addition, using a book of travels also can be valuable for the patients since the therapist could analyze the condition of patients as well as help patients see through themselves while reading a book of travels.
