Musin Rebellion(戊申亂) is one of the most important affair in the hiotory of 18th Century Joseon. On the occasion of this rebellion King Yeongjo reorganized the taxation and examination system, but he had to keep his eyes on the public discourse. Because it was clear that this rebellion put forward a dangerous argument that implied doubts about the legitimacy of the king. While the king praised many public figures, he compiled a book with official opinions, suck as Gamlanrok(勘亂錄) and Cheneuisogam(闡義昭鑑). Although some might have disagreed with the descriptions in these texts, no documentary works containing full-scale counterargument against the Gamlanrok was published during the Joseon Dynasty. Instead, texts to supplement Gamlanrok with its own intentions from the perspective of the faction, family or region appeared, including Namjeongilrok(南征日錄) and Honamjeleuirok(湖南節義錄). These texts seem to be official records led by the state, but in reality they are not nationally recognized and bear the mark of highlighting or exaggerating the achievements of a particular individual or group. It also sometimes contains suspicious statements about whether they are true or not. At the end of the Joseon Dynasty, Musin Rebellion turned into an object of fictionalization. A case in point is the Sasangdang-Silok-munjip(四尙堂實錄文集) which features a biography about the achievements of the powerful man and great general Yi manyu. In this book, editor or writter changed other people's exploits to those of Yi Manyu, and sometimes added elements of legend and fiction. The fact that this work has not yet been published shows that there is a limit to the social acceptance of such fiction, but nevertheless, it is certainly a new change to show the face of fiction that would have been difficult to tolerate before. However, the similar texts did not produce much, which is believed to be due to the fact that Musin Rebellion was inconsistent with the new concerns of the time. At least it cannot be evaluated as a successful reinterpretation or reconstruction of this rebellion.
