As long as the history of Korean literature teaching is in China, not much passion has been aroused among our students owing to the difficulty of these works. When teaching Korean scholar Hong Darong`s 《Travelling in Yan》and the early 20th century`s Manchuria recreate literature，both of which are Korean literature with a Chinese background, I have tried to induce my students` interest in Korean literature by the approach of "self-imagery". This approach is, based on the difference between China`s image in these works and the true "self-image" and aiming to help students approach Korean literature naturally, to let students experience Korean culture indirectly through unfamiliar image, understand Korean society through variant image and feel Korean people`s emotion through analogous image, etc. It allows students to see Chinese reality from a foreign angle, leads them to give attention to the authors` subjective intention in recreating the image of China and offers the basis for them to know Korean literature via familiar surrounding environment.
