<Jikjungnok> is a Gasa work written by Yi Do Hee, a descendant of Chungmugong Yi in order to educate and enlighten the women in the family. Some Gasa works such as Korean Chungmugonghaengjang and <Jikjungnok> are literary works inherited from the descendent family of Chungmugung Yi in Deoksu Yi clan in the late Joseon. The descendent family of Chungmugung Yi in Deoksu Yi clan in the late Joseon attempted to remind the achievement of Yi Sun Shin through Chungmugongheangjang and also taught the proper behavior and ethical norm for woman in the family through Gasa works. The descendents of the author were engaged in the independent movement when there was a Japanese invasion later, which was originated from pride of the family and patriotic mind to the country. <Jikjungnok> is a Gasa work that has the same character like <Nabuga> inherited in the descendent family of Chungmugung Yi in Deoksu Yi clan. <Jikjungnok> and <Nabuga> are similar in the contents both of which focused on the behavior and ethical norm of women. There is intertextuality in the structure and expression method in both works.
