The six countries of the east as the Sui saw them — Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, the Malgal, Liuqiu and Wa. It carries both the sealed letter that Emperor Wen of Sui sent to Goguryeo and the state letter from the king of Wa that says, "The Son of Heaven of the land where the sun rises, to the Son of Heaven of the land where the sun sets." It is the Chinese side's record of the three campaigns that ended with the great victory at the Salsu River.

7 entries and 39 paragraphs fully translated. The second book on the Eastern Yi shelf (two thousand years of Korea as the Chinese official histories saw it) — the first is the Eastern Yi account in the Records of the Three Kingdoms.
