The five-faced times of the novel <Yirijang> are matched with the symbols of Sipudo seeking for the cow. The second, this article compares the cosmetic universal order with Sabokbulyun story of Samgukyusa. The story of Samgukyusa is used as the motif, the name, the symbol, and the theme in PrkSangRyung’s novel <Yirijang>. The third, this article reveals the binary oppositions with the sun and the moon, the life and the death, man and woman, and the sacred and the profane.
