In this paper, a comprehensive study of Sangju folk songs, Gyeongsangbuk-do has been examined. The changes of the works have been examined by comparing and analyzing the works of Sangju folk songs of 7 areas according to the materials of Gubimunhakdaigye<An outline of Gubi literature> in 1983 and the works of the recorded Sangju folk songs in 2011. Sangju folk songs show several characteristics. These characteristics will be able to guess the tradition of Sangju folk songs and the characteristics of locality. I am going to draw a conclusion from summarizing the discussion so far.
First, the types and characteristics of the Sangju local folk songs have seen discussed. The labor folk songs classified by functions in the 7 areas of Sangjueup, Nakdongmyeon, Gonggeommyeon, Sabeolmyeon, Cheongrimyeon, Hwaseomyeon, Euncheokmyeon were the works of the labor folk songs of agriculture, transportation, picking, weaving, milling, civil engineering, family and manual industry. The folk songs of ceremony classified by the functions has been for funeral. The folk songs of amusement classified by the functions have been for language, instrument and game. The works of the nonfuctional folk songs have been examined, too. There have been the works of the folk songs of order, exchange and homophony classified by song method. Classification by changgok singing of folk songs and ballads that corresponds to the shading looked at the works. There have been the works of 2 meter, 3 meter and 4 meter classified according to meters. There have been the works of teaching folk songs, lyrical folk songs and narrative folk songs classified by genre. The works classified by singers were man folk songs and woman folk songs. The works which correspond to the presence of the chorus have been looked at. And the works which appear with commonness in over two areas have been examined.
Second, the singing method and characteristics of genre of the Sangju folk songs have seen examined. the works of order songs classified by the singing method have been agricultural labor folk songs, funeral ceremony songs and so on which have appeared in common in Sangjueup, Nakdongmyeon, Sabeolmyeon, Cheongrimyeon, Euncheokmyeon. In Gonggeommyeon and Hwaseomyeon. The works of the order songs which didn't appear in the source book 30 years ago have been recorded currently. The order songs in Euncheokmyeon have appeared to be the same song as the one 30 years ago except the lyrics of the songs. Hangkeumjaengi taryeong which appeared in Nakdongmyeon was the work of the exchanging song. It was recorded as a solo in the source book but the lyrics of the song was in question and answer form. The works of the homophony songs appeared in Sangjueup, Nakdongmyeon, Gonggeommyeon, Sabeolmyeon, Cheongrimyeon, Hwaseomyeon, Euncheokmyeon. There have been the works of the homophony songs on the current materials in Hwaseomyeon and Euncheokmyeon. The folk songs of the singing method of the homophony songs are mostly weaving labor folk song. The agricultural labor folk songs and the weaving labor folk songs which belong to the order songs and the homophony songs have appeared in all 7 areas. Some agricultural labor folk songs have been passing down through a specific person in Chosan town, Sangju. From these facts, Sangju folk songs show the local characteristics of agriculture and certify Sangju as a three-white region which is famous for rice and silkworms. The works of teaching folk songs appeared in Sangjueup, Nakdongmyeon, Gonggeommyeon, Sabeolmyeon, Euncheokmyeon but didn't appear in Cheongrimyeon and Hwaseomyeon. The works of lyrical folk songs and narrative folk song appeared in 7 areas.
Third, the narrating method of Sangju folk songs have been examined. One of the developing method of the narration and the song was that the song follows the narration and it repeated. Even though it started with narration, it could finish with the narration or the song. The other of the developing method of the narration and the song was that the narration followed the song and it repeated. Although it started with the song, it also could finish with the song or the narration. The narrating method of the narration and the song was different from the content of the narration and the content of the song. The ten works mixed with the narration and a the song were recorded in the source book in Nakdongmyeon but they have not been passed down. The story was developed repeating that people sang what they acted and added the explanation with the narration. These works delivered neither only the content of the lyrics of the song nor only the content of the narration like a tale. The story was developed in mixed orders of a narration->a song->a narration, a song->a narration->a song or a song->a narration->a narration.
The comprehensive study of Sangju folk songs, Gyeongsangbukdo will be able to be an important material to understand the tradition and the local quality of Sangju. The 154 works of folk songs were recorded in 7 areas 30 years ago but the 16 folk songs have been passed down in 4 areas. It is remaining to overcome the limitation of the literature which is passed down verbally.
This thesis has been written in the areas of Sangju, Gyeongsangbukdo centrally. A study which compare the different characteristics of every local region by investigating and analyzing the folk songs of different regions is left as a coming task.
