This study has discussed the case of convergence-based humanities education for the purpose of appreciating classics and creating contents, centering on The Jehol Diary (Yeolha Ilgi) which contains various elements such as a new perspective on existing values and reflection on society and self from a global perspective. In particular, in order to arouse the sympathy and interest of learners, the contents were divided into ‘travel,” “a consciousness of criticizing reality,” and “the global perspective,” and explained them in connection with Yeonam’s way of thinking that makes this possible. Yeonam’s writing skills, such as ‘observational skills and recording habits, imagination of reversal, curiosity and humor’, were also used as the major contents at the class. In addition, for the content development process, scholars of humanities lead the entire process of content creation rather than only performing the role of providing source sources. (1) Contents centered on the main ideas of The Jehol Diary, (2) Yeonam’s contents using the writing method and (3) “My travels” contents applied with the composition method of The Jehol Diary. Through this course of instruction, the learners are presented with the contents and composition of The Jehol Diary. Contents such as games, video and online experience (VR) programs, smart phone applications, performances, magazines, webtoons, and novels were planned. Through these results, it was possible to find a phenomenon in which the understanding of The Jehol Diary and Yeonam was made deeper than the passive appreciation class, and the enthusiasm for content creation among the learners was higher. In addition, it was confirmed that the deepest understanding of the source texts is important based on a common consciousness of ‘why we should read The Jehol Diary.’
