  4. The issues involved in the Sung pao-chia system are too complex to investigate
    here, but it is likely that Yu refrained from praising any policy supported by Wang unless
    he was overwhelmed by its obvious utility. See Higashi !chio, 6 Anseki simpo no kenA.,)·iJ

  5. Yu's version of the text was probably based on Chu Hsi's collected works (Chu wen-
    kung well-chi). the most reliable text, but with some erroneous emendations included in
    the Hsil1R-1i ta-eh 'iiall. See "Chu-tzu tseng-sun Lli-shih hsiang-yueh," PGSR II :3b-4Ia;

    Yi T'aejin has accepted Yi Kukpae's account and rejected the statement made by the
    royal secretary, Song Chun, in 1482 that Scjo abolished the Yuhyangso at the time of Yi
    Siae's rebellion in the northeast because he had been told that men of official rank (p 'umg-
    wan) ill the local Yuhyangso had joined in the rebellion. King Songjong expressed doubt
    about this reason and asked his officials to check the record the Sejojo Ugi [Diary of Sejo's
    reign], a text no longer extant, and then he dropped consideration about restoring the
    Yuhyangso. Yi could not find any notice ill 1467 about any aholition of the Yuhyangso
    in that year. but given S<'lng Chun's attempts as governor of Hamgil Province after that
    time to use his authority as a high official to win over as many local gentry as he could,
    he might have been trying to prevent the resurgence of the gentry by the restoration of
    the Yuhyangso to prcscne his own political control of the Ha1llgil literati. Yi T'aejin,
