AB - Korean seasonal songs are constructed with a twelve part framework
corresponding to the twelve months of the year and based on the seasonal
customs for each month. Times and seasons are important elements of the
songs. Researchers have been concerned mostly with structural
characteristics, differences in origins and types, and main ideas. This
article has written on the assumption that the creation and spread of
seasonal songs is primarily based on agricultural culture. The purpose of
the article is to demonstrate the directions and meanings from an
agricultural perspective.
What the purpose and direction of the songs are and when the important
season and time are in the songs depends on the writers and singers’ class
background and their experiences. The songs written by the learned are
aimed at expanding knowledge and reproducing the national ideology of
physiocracy (which means a doctrine in which farmers are regarded as
essential parts of the country's wealth) under the influence of Confucian
teachings from China. On the other hand, the songs that were sung by the
people were created out of a need to express themselves and pray related
to their daily agricultural life experiences. The two purposes and ideas

have been developed over the course of generations based on literacy in the
case of the scholars’ songs or orality in the case of the peasants’ songs.
The twenty-four solar terms and festive days are related to the most
important time in the seasonal songs because they are the materials that
produce the meaning and demonstrate the circular conception of time based
on the agriculture cycle. Seasonal songs written by the learned express a
sense of physiocracy by focusing on the twenty-four solar terms that play
a role in the farming calendar. Seasonal songs sung by the people express
the people’s popular consciousness in pursuit of the harmony of work and
rest by focusing on festive days.
