In this thesis, I aims to research on Oksunmong(玉仙夢) and JingHuaYuan(鏡花緣) known as novels of showing off writer's knowledges. Especially, I studied on comprehensive knowledge and their ways of showing off knowledges in Oksunmongand JingHuaYuan. Both were written in 19th century and their plots looked to similar each other. So I considered them as a same type of novels. That's reason why I decided to compare Oksunmong whit JingHuaYuan. On studying specific details of them. I found the fact that there are striking difference between them. The former's knowledges are closely connected with reality, while the latter's are relatively loosely connected with reality. The former generally deals with realistic knowledges for showing off writer's abilities. But the latter focused on criticising at the Chinese society, so it is relatively free to fact. Because of situations of each writer made differences of their contents and characteristics. The difference of showing off knowledges between them results of writer's attitude toward the world. Tang-ong, the writer of Oksunmong, want to make a display of his knowledge but Lee, Yeojin, the writer of JingHuaYuan, try to criticize the ironical reality. This is the same and different point of novels between Korean and Chinese.
