There is a concept called 'the middle ages a→ transference times → the modern age' suggested as one of the viewpoints understanding Korean (literature) history.
Th concept is the viewpoint that sets up one historical come like 'the middle ages → the modern ages' and restores all phenomena to a by-product of this course. But the thought of Su-un and Jung-san, and recognition of a mystique expressed through literature didn't have that course as like existing interpretation. They looked at more fundamental point. They viewed the utopia, return of the beginning, overpassing the existing system based on a class distinction and plundering and the power of west and western learning marching on with a cannon and Jam at the head. At this point, these people's thought was the rediscovery and reappraisal of a universe of mythos that everything was in balance. This reappraisal has an antimodern status, although it was not intented. And as for today's point after 100 years passed, it has a post-modern value, instead. This is the core of recognition of a mystique that Su-un and Jung-san legends have.
