The reason why we are worthy of notice on the texts which was written in 1920-30 in Korea based on the Chinese character “Mulan”(「Mulanshi(木蘭詩」)- such as 『Giingisalok』 『Ilsayusa』 「Bunang」 『Byungjaimjinlok』- is that they had reflected the spirit and culture of the age and cultivated important cultural domains- especially the social status of women in modern Korean society. Women’s participation and contributions in the March 1 movement which played an important role in the efforts for the independence of Korea multi-cultural aspects caused the publication of female heroic novels in which women should challenge to acquire new life through the overcoming of pain and gained the improved women’s social status. These texts had chosen motif of mulan’s male attire, participation in a war on behalf of he father, changed her name as ‘Bunang’ and put her into the stage of Korean history - Lee-Guwal’ riot. The keypoint we should focus is thant insead of Chung-Chungshin who was the real hero of history, Bunang’s heroic aspects like the bravery, resource, brightness and challenge spirit as a woman had been magnified. In the 1920∼30 colonial era which could be classified as a part of Korea history of the patriotism and cultural enlightenment that people tried to maintain the traditional Korean values and ethnic characteristics, Moklan had been evolved its cultural images by adaptation of the atmosphere of the Japan colonial era based on the popular intimacy, the character as a minority woman, the ethical sensitivity and free love as well as the interests to a woman in male attire.
