However, with restoring meanig of signs of the day, this novel could be understood a novel to suggest critical thoughts about New System(新體制) of Japanese imperialism with staking off a boundary of Korean culture newly. 3 series of signs in this novel were signs of imperial cultural industry such as Shochiku, of Korean traditional culture such as Bosin-Gak, and of linguistic situaion such as Adjustment of orthographic works. These all alluded cultural environment given to Daeyoung(a protagonist), a Korean novelist. And These showed the crisis of Korean culture attacked by assimilationism of New System of Japaneses imperialism. In this situaion, Daeyoung criticized colonialist view which infiltrated into Korean cultural situation in 940, with staking off a boundary of Korean culture newly and with sticking to it. This outcome of that novel suggested the need to revaluate the re-construct of Korean culture as a strategic countermeasure against New System of Japanese imperialism.
