This paper is a discussion on the modern literaryization of the ancient novel < LIMKYUNGUPJEON(Lim Kyung-up Biography) >, which is a prior text of ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’, and the record of historical facts. What is noteworthy in the history of modern literary acceptance in the 20th century of ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ is the differentiation of readership. During that period, ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ was published in a number of magazines for children as unofficial historical text. In modern times, boys and students were discovered as new readers of popular reading texts, and the ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ was used as a motif for major content. Prior to this, texts of the old-fashioned biography and the record of historical facts, which translated, adapted, and edited the previous ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ and spread it to modern media, appeared, embracing workers and farmers as key readers. Since then, ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ has been involved in the formation of specialized readers by occupying a place in a series of series of Chinese literature novels targeting the Chinese literature literacy class in the 『Maeil Sinbo』. The discourse of pre-modern Chinese novel returned using modern media as a springboard, calling out potential readers again. In that extension, ‘Lim Kyung-up narrative’ is finally reproduced as a modern historical novel through Park Jong-hwa’s Daechunbu, which was serialized on 『Maeil Sinbo』. It reached the peak of popular narrative, encompassing a wide range of readers of newspaper-based historical novels. As such, since the early 20th century, the genealogy of “Im Kyung-up narrative” is an extremely useful reference frame for having a view of the differentiation patterns and characteristics of readers of modern historical documents.
