男女相悅之詞로 본 <靑山別曲>

Abstract

This paper assumes that the Cheongsanbyeolgok(靑山別曲) can be regarded as a love song of a woman who falls in love with someone, and this work may contain an analogy to the physical love between men and women. As a result, I can see that the four verses of the "meularae gadeon sae(믈아래 가던 새)" and "Yingmudon Zhanglan(잉무든 장글란)" in the third stanza, "sasami jimdaeye olasyeo(사미 대예 올아셔)" and "haegeumeul hyeogeoreul(奚琴을 혀거를)"in the 7th stanza have a lot of room to be interpreted as an analogy of physical relations. As is already well known, the third and seventh stanza of Cheongsanbyeolgok(靑山別曲) correspond to each other structurally as well as the other pairs of stanzas. However, according to the results of this study, the two stanzas not only have common expressions of the physical relations between men and women, but they also use the same metaphor twice in each stanza. Furthermore, they have adopted a multi-layered metaphorical way of presenting expressions that may be somewhat difficult to grasp meaning, followed by expressions with relatively clear meaning. The viewpoint of this work as a love song which includes the expression of the physical love between men and the women not only contributes to understanding the sophistication, the literary level and the artistic perfection of this work in a new aspect, but also opens the way to interpret some of the expressions and passages of the third and seventh stanzas from a consistent perspective.
