The Aspects of Change of Sijo
시조의 변이 양상
Abstract
Korean verse has flexibly changed its form and contents according to the historical background of the times. This fact arouses reader sympathy because it has reflected ideas, historical aspects and realities of the times. However, korean verse has kept its own characteristics in some ways, allowing it to exist today. It holds its form as 3 verses of three by three or four meter and three letters of the last of three verses. It makes every different version which has specific aspects of each times in the same 'sijo' area. 'Sijo' in Korean poems, is the first form that has been changed from formal to private functionally. As a result of that common verses in the Goryeo to Joseon eras were going with the stream of the times. Verse was the plate for justice so that there was no double meaning, symbols, or technical sentences. It had to show the idea of Myungchundo Jwonginryun. The theme was commonly fitted within certain areas. such as blessings, fidelity, devotion, etc. Around the end of the Joseon era, there was activation of private verses - a form of sijo with no restrictions on the length of the first two verses. Some ideas had been changed because Sarimpa gained power, domestic conflict, and the introduction of practical science. These things had an effect on the form of Sijo. After all, it shows the ideas of collapsing feudalism, resistance of confucian ideas, equality of the sexes, and opposition to the group who rule the government. Thus Sasul Sijo seems to have the tendency of resistance to reality. It was a specialty of realism poetry It explained our life in detail and reflected real life by being an intermediary of realism. This met and represented the demand of a reader's expectations. After 1905, there was new form of sijo that is very different, in form and content, from the previous versions. It was even different in areas of what people accepted. They started to think sijo was not the form of lyrical verse that is once was. It became a 'record of reading'. The form changed to 'hung or huhung' that satirized the times and the ending of a word in the last verse. Although this form could deliver the tension in statement, it was too iu from the original form. Therefore, it didn't last long, and its position got smaller because of the free verse that had western influence and was emerging in the times. In the middle of 1920, there was a movement of Sijo revival. It was lead by Choinamsun. He wrote poems and Sijo which were effected by western ideas in his early works. Although he worked with that, he took the lead in the movement of Sijo revival. He published the collection of Sijo
시조는 발생초기부터 당대의 역사 시대적 배경에 따라 그 틀과 내용이 조금씩 변하면서 융통성 있고 유연하게 적응해 왔다. 이런 점이 당대의 시대적 배경이나 사상, 실태 등을 반영해서 당시의 독자들의 공감대를 이끌어낼 수 있었으며, 그러면서도 시조를 시조답게 하는 시조성만은 그대로 고수해 왔기에 '시조'라는 장르가 현재까지도 생존할 수 있었다. 어느 시대나 어떤 배경에서나 어떤 상황에서도 3장이라는 정형성은 지켜졌으며, 3, 3조나 3, 4조를 유지했고, 또 종장의 첫 구 3자도 고수했다. 이러한 시조성은 시대적인 간극에도 불구하고 '시조'라는 공분모 안에 모두 수렴시킬 수 있는 동인을 마련했다. 한국시가에 있어서 시조는, 공적 기능에서 사적 기능으로 변모가 이루어진 최초의 양식으로서. 그 변이과정을 살펴본 결과. 고려말
