Thus far, <Aengrobu> which is the only work in the style of Bu(賦) of Seokjeong Lee Jeong-Jik who acted in the period of patriotism and enlightenment. <Aengrobu> was an allegorical embodiment of the issue of 'out and place' by Seokjeong with the application of his theory of paleography. Seokjeong considered Bu(賦) as one of sentences and respected old Bu(古賦). <Aengrobu> corresponds to it and Seokjeong's sense of paleography is embodied in it. Seokjeong applied his viewpoint of paleography to the style Bu(賦) because it had its own characteristics. Based on his theory of paleography, Seokjeong embodied his argument using three animals-the nightingale, the white heron and the phoenix-in <Aengrobu> in an allegorical style. Here, through the allegorical style frequently used in Bu, Seokjeong could embody his argument more effectively. These three animals emphasize and argue the life they pursue and its value. At first, the nightingale and the white heron are in confrontation with each and then submit to the argument of the phoenix that appears later. In the work, the nightingale is an allegorical being that represents the world of 'out(出)" filled with vanity and the white heron is an allegorical being that represents the world of 'place(處)' that does not communicate with reality. The phoenix is a being that realizes the true meaning and value of ‘out and place(出處)’. Here, the world pursued by the author Seokjeong is embodied through the phoenix.
