ABSTRACT

Cheongsanbyeolgok(靑山別曲) which is one of the songs of Goryeo(高麗) dynasty is composed of eight stanzas. And the eight stanzas can be divided into four pairs, and two stanzas of every pairs correspond structurally with each other. In this respect, the stanzas and phrases of Cheongsanbyeolgok(靑山別曲) can be interpreted according to the counterpart. The results of interpretation based on this point of view are as follows. The first and sixth stanza represent the ideal or imaginary space, the second and fifth express the grief in the real world and the cause of it, the third and seventh represent the impossible situation or fantasy world, and the fourth and eighth express the loneliness and the cause of it. About the meanings of the phrases and stanzas I could confirm such facts as follows. That is to say, the grief expressed in second stanza originated not from the loneliness arising out of the life in deep mountains but from the disagreement between the world and the self expressed in fifth stanza. And the third and seventh stanza can be interpreted smoothly leaving the words and expressions as it is, if we think that they represent some impossible situations in common. In addition the loneliness in the fourth stanza originated from the relationships between men and women, in other words the situation that the poetic narrator lost her lover to another woman.
