Abstract

This paper examined the internal system of and changes to works focusing on the “Named” chapter of Cheongguyeongeon edited by Kim Chung-taek of Kim Cheon Taek. The oldest collection of Korean traditional songs[Gagip] has been considered as the superior model, in comparison to other collections. Cheongguyeongeon, however, is a collection that forms part of the cultural history of Korean traditional songs[Gagok] in the late Joseon Dynasty, and it is thus necessary to gain a new understanding of the essence of Cheongguyeongeon. In this paper, I focus on aspects of the work's realization and on the internal editing system of the “Named” chapter of Cheongguyeongeon. Using these facts, I also tried to discover the significance of the cultural history of Gagok. Results showed that the internal system of the “Named” chapter is divided into the works of “Masters and Well-known people,” who were former Sijo writers, and the works of “Yeohangyookin,” who were the Gagok entertainers during this period. It is thus possible to discern the works collected by the units of Gachup or by individual units, according to the processes of collecting works. On the one hand, those works collected by the units of Gachup faithfully accepted the former traditions of editing, while continuing the form and lyrics of the serial poetry. On the other hand, it was found that the works by individual units reflected the contemporary aesthetics, musical sensibilities, and contemporary sensibilities of the times. In summary, the “Named” chapter of Cheongguyeongeon is entirely composed of transmitted works by famous artists and Yeohang performers. I, therefore, conclude that Cheongguyeongeon is the collection[Gajip] that succeeds the traditions and orders of the former composition of Gajip. Further, Cheongguyeongeon has been newly reorganized by sorting works attributed to contemporary aesthetics.
