Abstract

To preserve and hand down Sijo(時調, a traditional three-verse Koran poem) as a form of song, our ancestors translated it into a form of the Chinese poem. In addition, to enjoy the Chinese poem that cannot be sung as a song, they represented their thoughts and emotion with a form of the Sijo or the Chinese poem. Adding to that, today to introduce our Sijo literature abroad for sharing with the citizens of the world, it is also translated into the Chinese poem. However, in its translation into the Chinese poem, the meaning and the poetic inspiration of the original poem may be felt different because of adjustment of the words and phrases to the form of the Chinese poem. For this reason, this study first raised the question as to which form is most optimum in translation of Sijo as a Chinese poem. And it became the motive and the aim of this study. Through the case study for the Chinese translation of the Sijo, its form was investigated. For showing to advantage the characteristics of the Sijo as a literary genre, in the standard of the analysis, the importance was put on whether its contents were faithfully delivered without any adjustment. Through case study for eleven pieces of flat Sijo, the result showed that the ancient five-character six-verse poem was optimum for this purpose. On the other hand, in case of Saseol Sijo(辭說時調, a form of Sijo with no restrictions on the length of the first two verses), including those of this author, the result showed that the five-character regular verse poem was most optimum. Therefore, as a method for participating in the classic literature, this study will provide the theoretical basis for appreciating, associating with one another, the Sijo as an interest on the spot and on the other hand the Chinese poem as a flavor of a rule with rhyming.
