The ''Haedong chegukki'' ("Account of the Various Countries of the Eastern Sea") is a compilation of the history, geography, language, and foreign relations of Japan and [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]], compiled by Korean official [[Sin Suk-chu]] ([[1417]]-[[1475]]) in [[1471]]. It has been identified as an important source for understanding [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korean views and attitudes towards Japan and Ryûkyû.<ref>Kang, 74.</ref>
This text drew upon earlier precedents and regulations for diplomatic relations, and codified them into a new, streamlined system, which would then serve as a basis for the protocols followed in the [[Korean embassies to Edo]] during the [[Tokugawa period]]. The text was also read by Japanese scholars, including [[Arai Hakuseki]], who wrote a highly detailed annotated version with his own commentary.
