‘Goryeodogyeong’ was quoted in various Chinese documents after it was compiled and published. It became a basis for writings on Goryeo for historical books such as ‘Songsa(宋史)’ and ‘Sokjachitonggamjangpyeon(續資治通鑑長編)’. In addition to historical records, ‘Goryeodogyeong’ was frequently quoted in anthologies and local journals as well. Anthologies such as ‘Yuhwankimun(游宦紀聞)’ and ‘Gonggoejib(攻媿集)’ included Seo Geung(徐兢)’s description of establishment of Goryeo, its politics and customs. ‘Hamsunimanji(咸淳臨安志)’, a local journal during the period of Southern Song, heavily quoted the section on seaways from ‘Goryeodogyeong’, and this is related to the fact that trade with Goryeo was brisk at the time.
Records in ‘Goryeodogyeong’ are sometimes compared to ‘Gyerimji(鷄林志)’, but the former is deemed more detailed and accurate. ‘Goryeodogyeong’ was widely quoted and used as a basis for records on Goryeo in various types of writings in China, ranging from formal historical records to anthologies and local journals, and it was also quoted in anthologies during the late period of Goryeo Dynasty and ‘Sejongsillokjiriji’.
Chinese documents that quoted ‘Goryeodogyeong’ show Chinese people’s attitude and perception toward Goryeo. For instance, annotations for records on ‘Jachitonggam’ quoted ‘Goryeodogyeong’ and revealed a negative view on establishment of Goryeo by stating that Wang Gun was not enthroned for his virtue, but he took over the country in a coup by killing Gungye. Some inaccurate records in ‘Goryeodogyeong’ were repeated in other documents without corrections. Thus, quoting ‘Goryeodogyeong’ was not merely an act of replicating its contents, but also disseminated views on Goryeo through alterations and modifications.
