AB - The study intensively dealt with the meaning of Blue Bird Song, the
folk song of Donghak. First, the study reviewed the song by classifying
it into its type and considered the historical and cultural context all
together. Based on an understanding of the initial meaning of the song, the
study approached the in-depth meaning of it, and further, the study
revealed the symbolic meaning of ‘the blue bird’. At the same time, the
study attempted an overall approach in order to review the pattern of the
blue bird appearing in diverse genres of literature.
‘The blue bird’ is a combination of ‘blue’ and ‘ a bird’. A bird is
perceived as a messenger who delivers the will of Heaven to humans. The
blue color symbolizes the ideal human image, and spiritual aspiration.
Accordingly, ‘the Blue Bird’ in Blue Bird Song should be seen not as a
physical thing, but as a sort of an emblem, that is, a symbol of ‘being
greenish’.
