The Geubyubang (及幼方) is a pediatric medical book written by Jo Jeong-joon (趙廷俊). Among the pediatric medical books in the Joseon Dynasty, it is the most systematic and the most abundant. However, since it has not been published as a book and has existed as several manuscripts, it has been difficult to specify standard edition so far. As a result, academia use the version of the Gyujang-gak edition because it is easy to access the original. The recently opened to the public Jongno Library edition can be confirmed as a reference book because of the format of the preface. Therefore, the Jongno Library edition should be used instead of the Gyujang-gak edition. Also, comparing the edition of Jon-gyoeng-gak and Sancheong Museum of Korean Medicine, I could see that it was the same version. Because the outline, handwriting, and symbol were the same.
