Abstract

Byeongjanaliga is known that the Scholar who directly experienced the Byeongja Horan wrote a gasa about his war experiences. It can be said that this is a reasonable view because the content is developed similar to the stories of people who experienced the Byeongja Horan, and there are specific expressions that can be found in the records in prose. However, if you closely compare and read the diary records, including Byeongjarok written at the time, with various works based on ‘memories’ that were later reconstructed, the evaluation will be different. Byeongjanaliga can be interpreted as a story or an evaluation of the Byeongja Horan in the form of a song to remember the Byeongja Horan made in later generations. In terms of expression, the experiences of the narrator appearing in the first person are not consistently developed. And the tone and viewpoint are segmented according to the place. Therefore, it can be said that the experiences of several people are described as if they were the experiences of one person. The reason for presuming that Byeongjanaliga was written in the mid-19th century under pressure from Western and Japanese forces again is as follows. Byeongjanaliga uses the same vocabulary as ‘national people’, which was not used in the 17th and 18th centuries. It reflects the history of Ganghwa Island, where there was a war with foreign troops after the mid-19th century. The person who edited Haedongyuyo, which contains Byeongjanaliga, and the time of writing it are from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. He evaluates the wars defeated by foreign powers very coldly.
