Bukbeollon (Assertion of conquest of the northern region) is crucial to epic literature in the second half of Joseon period. This assertion was claimed in order to recover a disgraced Joseon from Qing's Jeongmyo and Byeongja invasions and to restore national pride. Thereafter, Bukbeollon continued to be discussed throughout the second half of Joseon, greatly impacting various sectors such as politics, diplomacy, national defense and society. These chronological changes were expressed by literature as they were. Taewonji enabled us to take a look at a shift in recognition by which a newly explored space, rather than being bound by the Chinese space occupied by barbarians, could become a true China. Also, how the story was developed based on the drifting mechanism rather than on dream was examined. Also, Taewonji is structurally very close-knit, and has many portions which can be interpreted ambiguously, and this was examined.
