On the other hand, Korean modern literature developed in the process of modernization in contact with western culture. There are not only Christian ideas introduced into Korea from the west, but also many artistic trends and influences. With the development of "New Education" and "Mandarin and Literature Movement", the Chinese writing system that once represented the culture of the ruling class has lost its social and cultural functions.
Silla's Country Songs marks the rise of a unique poetic genre in Korean literature. Song of Hometown is a Korean poem recorded by the sound and meaning of Chinese characters, and 14 such poems are preserved in the book Legacy of the Three Kingdoms.
The literature in the Korean period is characterized by more use of Chinese characters, the disappearance of "country songs" and the emergence of "Korean ballads" which spread to the Korean period in the form of oral literature.
The Korean alphabet created in the early Korean era is a turning point in the history of Korean literature. Musical movements, such as "Song of Dragonflies", are recorded in Korean letters.
Time Tune is a representative of Korean poetry. The poetic form of "poetic tune" was established in the late period of Korea, but in the Song Dynasty of the Korean era, it further flourished under the influence of the new social ideology dominated by Neo-Confucianism. Another form of poetry in the Korean era was "Song Ci". "Song" is not limited to expressing personal feelings, but often contains the contents of warning the world, persuading the good and forbidding the evil.
The original Korean classical novels were Jin Ao Xinhua written by Jin Si Xiu in Chinese characters and Hong Jitong Biography written by Xu Yun in Korean characters.
With the passage of time, the Korean alphabet has been widely used, which has promoted the growth and development of Korean language and literature.
Modern Korean literature was formed under the background of the disintegration of feudal society of the Korean dynasty and the introduction of new western ideas. As a form of Korean modern literature, "singing" (new style songs) and "new style poems" are called new poetry forms.
