This paper examines the creative background and creative principles, focusing on Park In-ro's "Seonsangtan". Park In-ro, who participated in the war as a righteous army at the age of 32 in 1592, when the Imjin War broke out, had abundant experience as a naval soldier. The background space for the work of "Seonsangtan" created when Park In-ro was appointed as a general manager after the war was "Ship". And the material of the work he chose was "Ship". Using "Ship", a creative background and creative material, he improvised "Seonsangtan". As a result, the narrative of "Seonsangtan", where the literary imagination was demonstrated through the ship, was confirmed.
Park In-ro's imagination was expanded in his own way and expressed in the work through the association and listing of the classics related to "Ship". Through "Seonsangtan", which was sublimated into humor in the final association, the artist Park In-ro's overflowing wit was also confirmed. The creation of "Seonsangtan" showed the true face of Park In-ro, the author and the predecessor. It is a repetition of the warrior and cliche.
"Seonsangtan" can be said to be a work that aesthetically raises the high-answer literary image by appealingly expressing the artist's personal feelings with a clichéd sentence expression based on a ship. Park In-ro tried to realize literary truth by appropriately revealing the reality of experiencing the war firsthand and the personal emotions felt in the process. At the end of the war, he climbed onto the ship again and talked about the war, sublimating it to humor. As a result, Park In-ro can be evaluated as a person who captures his wit in "Seonsangtan" through "Ship".
