This book aims to gain a glimpse of the long-standing interdependence between Korean Peninsula literature and Chinese literature through the study of the historical and Chinese poems written by Yi Kyu Bo in the mid-Goryeo Dynasty from the perspective of the influence of comparative literature. The national characteristics and strong inclusiveness of Korean Peninsula literature are revealed in this process. The dictatorship of Goryeo warriors and the plunder of the Korean peninsula by foreign enemies in the era of Li Kuibo were undoubtedly important driving forces for the creation of Li Kuibo's epic poem. As a result, the characteristics of Li Kuibo's epic poems such as strong national consciousness, love for the country's history and culture, allusions to warriors, the tendency to entertain oneself with poetry, wine and women, and the transformation of the poetic style from heroic to plain were presented one by one. As a result, the epic poems on the Korean Peninsula flourished further during the late period of the late Li Dynasty and early early Xian Dynasty.
