Third, the structural coherence of Chungkwajung(「鄭瓜亭」) has different characteristic to Manjenchunbyulsa(「滿殿春別詞」) and Seokyoungbyulkok(「西京別曲」), made my gathering and imitating old folk songs. So, Chungkwajung(「鄭瓜亭」) isn't made by gathering and imitating old folk songs but created folk songs by peasants, and Chungkwajung(「鄭瓜亭」) became popular among them. For this reason, we can notice that Chungkwajung(「鄭瓜亭」) was transferred to the royal court music through the process of becoming fork song.
