This study based on the book called Shenyinyu 呻吟語, which is written by Lu Kun 呂坤 in the late period of Ming Dynasty, and focused on how the Korean scholars in the late Joseon Dynasty affected by, accepted for and rewrite Shenyinyu . Shenyinyu , as a kind of proverbial-style essays, was not only famous in the Ming Dynasty, but had been also taken into account in Korea and Japan of the 19th century. On one hand, this study discussed four Korean scholar’s book related to Shenyinyu, who are Kim Chang-hui (1844-1890), Yu Jae-Geon (1793-1880), Jeon Wu (1841-1922), and Choi Myeong-hui (1851-1921), and how these scholars accepted Lu Kun’s opinion. On the other hand, this study intended to figure out that whether the other books of Lu Kun affected the literary world in the late Joseon Dynasty or not. We have reason to believe that to check out the situation of the acceptance of Shenyinyu is helpful for us to acquire further understanding of proverbial-style essays’ development in the 19th century.
