As stories orally transmitted by the people are based on facts about historic events or reflect the positions of victimized families or witnesses, they tend to let us know facts about history. Contrary to this, literatures written by punitive forces or reported by the government often exaggerate or distort historical facts in order to set force their own contributions or avoid reproachful accusations. Donghak was introduced to Hongcheon area in March, 1869 when Choi Si-hyeong, the second head of Donghak, escaped to Gangwon-do area. With its solidified congregation, Boeunchwihoe was held in March, 1893 to square accounts with Choi Je-woo, the first head of Donghak, and a lot of believers in Gangwon-do area including Hongcheon Daejeopju Cha Gi-seok attended it. When Donghak Peasant Revolution occurred in September, 1894, the Donghak peasant army in Hongcheon secured food attacking Dongchang, the storage of its government office, and got armed. Allied with forces from other regions, it drove on to occupy the government office of Gangreung but had to withdraw after three days on account of conservative Hyangban forces. In the middle of October, the punitive forces of conservative public-private allies were organized to counterattack. The first battle broke out in Jangya-chon of Hwachon-myeon in Hongcheon-gun on October 21st, and it killed 30 or so Donghak peasant soldiers. The Donghak peasant army that withdrew from it built its strongpoints on a small hill in Seoseok-myeon of Pungam-ri and the Hill of Jajak in Jindeung but had to be in retreat after the battle lasting for three days and leading to 800 or so victims. Inside the rough mountain covered with leaves, the Donghak peasant army confronted the punitive forces and initiated the guerrilla war but ended up defeating repeatedly. After that, the leaders of the Donghak peasant army including Cha Gi-seok and Pak Hak-jo got arrested and executed, which made Donghak Peasant Revolution in Hongcheon come to an end. Around Pungam-ri, the largest ferocious battlefield of it, there have been a number of orally transmitted stories about the history of Hongcheon Donghak Peasant Revolution, and they have been handed down continuously for long. The stories transmitted are mainly about the activities of the Donghak peasant army in Hongcheon area. Also, they are particularly about the enormous scale of victims of the Donghak peasant army who were killed in the Pungam-ri battle, origins of the place names like Jindeung or the Hill of Jajak, witnesses of the corpses, or stories about the ghosts. The stories transmitted reflect how Donghak Peasant Revolution was developed in Hongcheon area entirely.
