AB - This study aims to probe into the aspects of Northwestern and Northeastern region embodied in the ancient Korean novels, and to subsequently reveal its characteristics and underlying implications. The region which frequently appears in many ancient Korean novels is concentrated in the Northwestern region, particularly, Pyeongyang. Cultural figuration is largely detected centrally in Pyeongyang district, one of the most representative cultural cities, which used to have various banquets and events held by or for the State governor of Pyeongando province; many traditional local artisans named Pyeongyang Gisaeng; and beautiful landscapes and scenic spots. Political figuration is also formed in this region, while faithfully reflecting the features of Northern frontier area. Lastly, historical configuration is made through the method of describing historical features, personal impressions, and introspective feelings all at once. The figuration of Northwestern-Northeastern region in the ancient Korean novels bears a diversity of characteristics, including but not limited to figuration faithful to geographical facts, Pyeongyang as the metonymic area of Zheijiang region, epic corporeality and the locality called 'unusualness'.
