『동동』의 송도와 선어

Abstract

I investigated the meaning of “gasadayusongdojisagaehyoseoneo(歌詞多有頌禱之詞盖効 仙語)” to understand 「Dongdong(動動)」. ‘Song(頌)’, ‘Do(禱)’, and ‘Seon(仙)’ are closely related one another. Songdo(頌禱) can be accomplished within the high and low relations between sovereign and subject, father and son, aristocrat and plebeian, age and youth, and husband and wife. ‘Song(頌)’ is made for admiration in case that the high class has a good effect on the low class. In addition, ‘Do(禱)’ contains the wish of the low class that the high class may live long and the relations of the classes may be maintained. There are songs and dances in the place of Songdo(頌禱), and Sinseon(神仙) who appears in this place means the another name of Ginyeo(妓女) in the middle of music, flavor and romantic graces. Especially, the estimation that the lyric about 「Jahadong(紫霞洞)」 of the consistent ‘hard drinking’ is a kind of Seoneo(仙語) shows that it includes the immortal ‘Seon(仙)’, drinking for ‘Seon (仙)’, and music, flavor, romantic graces in the place. As a result, ‘Seoneo(仙語)’ in 「Dongdong」 is analyzed as a word which contains the duty and emotion of Ginyeo(妓女). To search for the meaning of Song(頌), Do(禱), and Seon(仙) from the lyric of 「Dongdong」, ‘Song(頌)’ is related with Noksa(錄事)’s appearance, Do(禱) with Noksa(錄事)’s long life expectancy. Surely, the relation of aristocrat and plebeian, and Gibu(妓夫) and Ginyeo(妓女) indicates one between Noksa(錄事) and the speaker who is Ginyeo(妓女), and Songdo(頌禱) is available even at a distance. Most of all, the speaker’s thought appeared in 「Dongdong(動 動)」 is related with ‘Songdo(頌禱)’ or ‘Seoneo(仙語)’. Especially, the obscure lyrics of December can be explained entirely through ‘Seoneo(仙語)’, a word which contains the duty and emotion of Ginyeo(妓女).
