Abstract

Jeong Ji-yong's children's poem “Ddale(doll) and Auntie” published in June 1926, was adapted into “The Third Day of the Third Lunar Month”, and “Ddale” and published in December of the same year. “Ddale(doll) and Auntie” is a work that depicts the daily life of a girl on a spring day, and is about playing house with a grass doll bride and taking care of her baby brother as an extension of the foregoing. The opposing status of the grass doll bride’s hair and a shaved head becomes the basis for making fun of the baby who had his head shaven. “The Third Day of the Third Lunar Month” is a work that looked at the third day of the third lunar month centering on the baby. It expressed the third day of March by paring three of our unique customs of the third day of the third lunar month and three baby-watching customs, and created new verses by borrowing the grammar of traditional children's songs. “Ddale” expanded the number of persons playing house to three and borrowed the plot of Ggokdugaksinorum(꼭두각시놀음) to pioneer the tragedy of a love triangle. On the surface level, it is a children's poem that emphasizes the preciousness of companions through the failure of play, but on a deeper level, it is a (adult) poem that punishes the patriarchal men who led the family to ruin. A resolute criticism was made that went beyond the limitations of folk drama reflecting Jeong Ji-yong's personal experience and awareness of problems. Among Jeong Ji-yong's children's poems, these three have a strong tendency to record and reproduce traditional customs and culture, so they can be called children's poems about folk customs(紀俗童詩).
