1653년에 제작한 김시습의 한문단편소설집이다. 흔히 한국의 최초의 소설이라고 평가되기도 한다. 전해지는 작품으로는 <만복사저포기萬福寺樗蒲記>, <이생구방전李生窺墻傳>, <취유부벽정기醉遊浮碧亭記>, <남염부주지南炎浮洲志>, <용궁부연록龍宮赴宴錄> 등 모두 5편이다. 작품들은 조선왕조의 이념적 모순과 사회적 폐단을 비판하고 소외된 민중들의 모습을 다루고 있다.

Geumo Sinhwa, written in Chinese characters by Kim Siseup and published in 1653, is a collection of five novellas: The Story about Playing a Game of Jeopo at Manbok Temple, The Tale of Yi Looking over the Wall, The Story of Drinking at Bubyeok Pavilion, The Story about South Yeombuju, and The Story about an Invitation to a Feast in the Dragon Palace. Considered the very first Korean fiction, the stories in the collection criticize the hypocrisy and immorality of the royal court during the Joseon dynasty, and portray common people who are estranged from and neglected by their rulers.
