Abstract

Daeheori and Danheori are very similar songs for weeding rice paddies. They are sung in call-and response-form, the leader singing changing verses, the chorus in a constant refrain. They are only different from the core-word (Dae or Dan) of the chorus part. Their cultural area is the southwestern Gangwon-Do, the northern Chungcheongbuk-Do, the southeastern Gyeonggi-Do and the eastern Chungcheongnam-Do. Gangwon-Do is the area for Danheori. Chungcheongnam-Do is the area for Daeheori. Chungcheongbuk-Do and Gyeonggi-Do are areas where Danheori and Daeheori exist together. Their general type has each solo part or chorus which is 12/8 times(or inherent one), but there are longer and slower types. An example of the general type's chorus part is : ‘Eowha Eolssin Daeheoriya’ or ‘Eowha Eolssan Daeheoriya’. When we go to the border area of propagation, we meet its mutation types : the Olka type, the Seulseul type, the Gumsil type, the Humcheo type, and the Neomcha type(‘Eowha Neomcha Daeheoriya’). The northern part of Jungwon District keeps the 'Dan' of Danheori inflowed from the cultural center of Danheori, the Wonju and Hwoeongseong area, but it changes into Daeheori in the southcentral Jungwon District which is the cultural center of Daeheori.. We can see the examples that the farmers in Gangwon-Do sang Danheori while weeding rice paddies with the hoe, and sang Banga of the slow tempo or Banga of the fast tempo while weeding rice paddies with bare hands. But the farmers of Jungwon District already sang Banga of the slow tempo while weeding rice paddies with the hoe, and so they seem to sing Daeheori while weeding rice paddies with bare hands. Danheori and Daeheori songs were sung for encouraging workers to continue work with stooping waist. Why did Danheori of Gangwon-Do change to Daeheori in the southcentral area of Jungwon-gun? Did it add the meaning of a big-Heori(waist), because of one leg stretched when weeding rice paddies with bare hands? I feel I need to study more on the language custom of the Jungwon area. I used for this paper mainly my material that I gathered through field-work since 1983 when I recorded especially the songs for weeding rice paddies in every town in South-Korea and folk songs of some districts in North-Korea during that period.
