The archives for the critic of the Korean poetry are rather rare while the materials for the words in Chinese poetry are handed down sufficiently. It is not easy to find the material of explanation and criticism for the authors and poetry in the cases of poetic words in Joseon dynasty. Therefore, the articles of criticism for the Janga by Man Jong Hong has a very valuable meaning in the value of as a material. The appearance of the articles of criticism for Janga by Man Jong Hong. was available because of the long term preparatory works from his predecessor. Especially, the fact that criticism was written at the collection of our poetry in one place in the Jibongtuseol written by Su Kwang Lee made a direct influence on the Man Jong Hong's articles of criticism for Janga. It is found in the similarities in the genre and description style for the sijo · gasa · folk sone when these two materials are compared. However, the work of Man Jong Hong was developed to the new modification not only staying in the simple acceptance. It was an unprecedented that he selected and narrated independently on the 14 poetry which were popular at that time not only changing the order of arrangement for the three formats and substitution of the works taken as examples with the other ones. Especially, the critical work of Man Jong Hong is entitled to be evaluated as a labor taking masterpiece which revealed out the unique protectional principle for the poetry written in native language expressing that the our poetry are not inferior to the precious works of China. However, it is something to be desired that he finished his criticism on the 14 poetry in the viewpoint of the history of criticism on the Korean poetry.
