Teacher Notes
Compiled in the late Joseon period, the Reference Compilation of Reference Documents on the Eastern Country contains even more detailed records about Ulleungdo and Dokdo. As in the “Geographical Records,” this text indicates that Ulleungdo and Dokdo are close enough that the other can be seen on a clear day. They also contain detailed descriptions of the peaks on Ulleungdo and Dokdo. The documents include information about the animal life in and around Dokdo. However, unlike as in the “Geographical Records,” Dokdo is sometimes referred to as Sambongdo. Furthermore, the records state that Dokdo was referred to as “Songdo” in Japan, thus indicating Joseon’s sovereignty over the islet.
