This paper concerns the genre of , as folktales with ‘beggars’ are closely related to ‘good fortune’, and investigates the significance of each type of beggars. First, on the premise that two types are derived from alternative ways of making a fortune, beggars may be divided between the ‘beneficiary type’ blessed with good fortune and the ‘obliger type’ who brings others good luck. Beneficiary beggars, who have no clear goal of gaining wealth themselves, accidentally acquire wealth or rise in social status thanks to the people or situations around them. Thus, meeting a noble man is an important opportunity for such windfalls. In other words, the point of the beneficiary type in is the role of beggars’ fate and coincidence in developing the story. On the other hand, obliger beggars are portrayed as extraordinary alien beings of exemplary character who inspire ordinary people or communicate with a transcendent being, which makes them sometimes seem more like saviors blessing others. This is meaningful in that it completely reverses the existing perception that beggars are isolated from wealth by dissolving the distiction of superiority and inferiority between wealth and poverty. In short, the ordinary poor people of the time identified themselves with beggars and as a result, they projected their own expectations about windfalls or potential fate on the beggars through the beneficiary type in . On the other hand, the obliger type in shows the self-purification of the people through their reflective introspection on the social convention of treating poor beggars as different beings and despising and excluding them. Therefore, through these discussions about , we can ruminate on our views of the disadvantaged people we represent as beggars, and by doing so, may be expected to awaken and draw the attention of people in our modern society divided by social alienation of a variety of forms.
