The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspects and contents of the Nine Chinese Classics, especially those cited in the writings of women during the Chosun Dynasty. Considering that the foundation of the studies and political ideology in Chosun Dynasty is based on the Confucian scriptures and annotations, it is very important to look at how the Nine Chinese Classics were quoted and mentioned in the writings of Chosun women and to examine what their implications are. The main content of this paper is to take note of Queen Sohye's Naehoon to examine in what context the Nine Chinese Classics are quoted and read. Taking into consideration the historical context in which women's reading and knowledge activities were not welcome and the only books women had access to were women's discipline books, women's discipline books were not only just the text for disciplining women but also a mechanism for women to access Confucian scriptures. Through these discussions, the knowledge of traditional women can be re-examined and women can be established as the subject of recognition. By doing so, an opportunity is provided to expand the contents of Confucianism in Chosun Dynasty, which were centered on knowledge of male Confucian scholars until present. It may also address issues such as Chosun women's knowledge experience and activities of the Nine Chinese Classics, as well as the political desire of women inherent in them.
