ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the types and distribution patterns of ‘sangsa-ryu’ among songs collected and recorded in the Gyeongnam Province. The songs focused on this study were those performed while people carry out agricultural tasks such as rice-paddy weeding: weeding songs. The results showed that ‘net sangsa’, the basic form of ‘sangsa-ryu’, appears intensively at the Nam River watershed in the central part of the Gyeongnam Province. This points to the area being the cultural hub of ‘sangsa-ryu’. The ‘front patter sangsa’, which had a high frequency among the different ‘patter sangsa’ types, can be divided into ‘eoryeoryu sangsa’ and ‘eoheoneolneol sangsa’. The main distribution area of ‘eoyeoryu sangsa’ is the point at which the Nakdong River meets the Hwang River. Again, this suggests that the area is the cultural center of ‘eoyeoryu sangsa’. In addition, as the cultural area of ‘eoheoneolneol sangsa’ exhibits a high density, and is close to the cultural center of ‘eoyeoryu sangsa’ at the border of the Nakdong River, the northern part of Changnyeong-gun along the east side of the Nakdong River is also considered as central center. Therefore, it is expected that if a structured set of ‘sangsa-ryu’ data is constructed for a national database in the future, it will be possible to carry out research on the spread and distribution patterns of ‘sangsa-ryu’ across the country.
