For the result, the common issues to be discussed in ocean literature in two nations was found that ocean experience was the foundation of ocean literature. There was a bit of difference of range of ocean literature according to the definition of ocean experience. However, the common ground for ocean literature were around experience, material, life. The future direction of ocean literature should consider not only the ocean experience but more about the original image of ocean as the spiritualized literature. It is because the earth which suffers for the development of human nature started to reveal its limit not to bear the suffering any more. If the way to solve the ecological crisis facing the earth could not be found, it would be impossible to see the future of human being. Where can it be found to solve the problem by the roots? Would it be possible if land-centered paradigm of present to be changed with ocean-centered? Could not it be available to find the way in ocean which has the beauty of life, coexistence, exchange, and openness? This would be the part of ocean literature, and the foundation for the healing of ecological crisis using ocean literature. Therefore, the writer to give a shape to prototypical image of ocean in the ocean literature should raised and ocean culture contents to be developed and spread. This can be the future direction for ocean literature of Korean and China, both of which is developing based on the ocean. That is, it is one of the realistic tasks of ocean literature which should be considered and realized as the identity of literature of northeast asia region.
