It is very difficult to read the texts in <Josonbyeolseo> and <Dapsachinga>, and moreover, in many cases it is impossible to know who characters in passages are and what their stories are. Thus, this study is to explicate every passage from a historical perspective. The first step was to presume the death day of Yoosiri the author of <Dapsachinga>. At first, it was presumed to 1937 but was found to be 1927. The two lyrics were analyzed as to paragraph, in the interest of discussion on the next chapter. The second step was to explicate what two lyrics are about on. Their authors were grandmother and granddaughter who were having the same stories. For this reason, their works were analyzed as to subject. In the works, ‘an uncle and his nephew’ refers to Gangsiri and Yoosiri. In addition, ‘uncle’, ‘your grandfather’, ‘our grandfather’, ‘the town’s best treasure; the treasure in Namcheon River; our Jeong-Ha’, ‘our grandmother’ and ‘my brother’ refer to Lee Hyoung-Gook (1886~1931), Lee Sang-Ryong (1858~1932), Yoo Jeong-Ha (born in 1912), Kim Woo-Rak (1854~1933) and Lee Byoung-Hwa (1906~1952) respectively. In this regard, it was possible to concretely reveal respective characters’ stories behind lives and diaspora.
