Reforming the traditional religions, such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, "Dong Hak" grewed spontaneously in facing with one another such as accomodation and criticism of the Western learnings and during its natural growth period it obtained envy as the ethnic religion. And during the period of the way of heaven "Dong Hak" developed as a cultural movement at the time when this conutry was under the Japanese's rules through a political movement shown in the period of its revolution not only as boycutt of the foreign influence but also as a strong ethnic consciousness.
First, "Yongdam Yusa" was the Scripture written in Korean of "Dong Hak" which was autogenous by overcoming it as the main ethnic consciousness after "Yongdam Yusa" broke down the feudalism and standed against the foreign influence, and it stated that all the people are equal and the united body as its idea, and its traditional words of the song was superior to that of the Catholic in the contents of the song by consisting of 4.3 tone and 3.4 tone continued written in Korean.
Second, the song of "Dong Hak" has lots of pridicted words that "Dong Hak" might be in failure, more than that of the ethnic songs that supported "Dong Hak". It was caused by the large view that at the time foreign influence might be called into the conutry according to international political situation and more as there were less knowledges of systematic idea and science and technology with which they could form a modern state although the farmers, the main force of the revlolution had a great power, It can be seen that there were demands of the age that were standing against the foreign influence.
Third, The new cultural movements developed as a part of the children's movement and "Kae Byuk", one of magazines in the period of the way of the heaven, left a great merit in the history of Independence Movement.
The magazine of "Kae Byuk" became originated to the professional literature but in the aspact of the poem history it was the origin of the poem of resistance and lylic poem Direction of this cultural movement, made direction after March 1st Independence Movement turned to a cultural movement. Like this, the fact or of autogeny appeared in the idea of "Dong Hak" can be confirmed as self-consciousness in wrangle against the foreign influence.
This self-consciousness became a moment to harmonize the oriental unviersality and the ethnic characteristics as soon as the Western learnings was accomodated. In this meaning "Yongdam Yusa" written in Korean and the words of song of "Dong Hak" were connected to continuation of the modern poems as symptom of the modern poems.
