ABSTRACT

The close correlation between the trend of the times and religious culture formed the characteristics of Chinese and Korean religious novels in the 1930s. In this period, religion was not used in accordance with internal demands, but in response to external pressures. Chunwon and Xu Dishan were representative writers of religious novels in China and South Korea at that time. They both had experiences of exposure to various religious types. Chunwon's Love and Xu Dishan's Yuguan, both published in the late 1930s, are works that fully reflect their open religious understanding. Both works are based on the religious types used as the means of cultural aggression by the aggressors in both countries at that time. Therefore, from the perspective of understanding the writer's religious consciousness and social participation consciousness, they are comparable. At the same time, this study also has certain significance in investigating the universality and particularity of the Oriental literature complex. Although the two works focus on different religious types, there are many similarities in their emphasis on the doctrinal content and the writer's consciousness reflected. In the mind of the characters and the basic creative consciousness of the writer, there is a distinction. At the same time, the two writers have the same attitude towards the acceptance of diverse cultures at the level of doctrinal acceptance. Next, this paper will focus on revealing the two writers' attitudes towards religion. With Love and Yuguan as the center, this paper will make a detailed analysis and comparison of the similarities and differences between the two works.
