On the Meaning and Creating Context of Jeongseok-ga

Up to now, Jeongseok-ga 鄭石歌, a Goryeo-gayo that is Korean song in the period of Goryeo 高麗 Dynasty, has been regarded as a song that expresses indirectly the heart to be with a lover or a ruler forever by suggesting actually impossible situation also by telling if the situation happen actually, then, the narrator will separate from the lover or the ruler. We have not been able to presume the creating context because we could not find out any material containing objective information about Jeongseok-ga. Nevertheless, in this study I do interpret the brand-new implicit meaning of it by researching the meaning of the assumed situation that is suggested in Jeongseok- ga. In addition, I do re-construct the creating context of the text by researching the inter-relationship between Jeongseok-ga and Gasiri 歸乎曲, Seogyeong-Byeolgok 西京別曲, Oleongsan-byeolgok 靑山別曲. The results of this study are as follows; Jeongseok-ga was the song of people from Northern province had ruled by Seogyeong 西京 but come to be ruled by the Mongol Empire after Seogyoung betrayal. Because they did not followed their hosts but remained under the national rule system that centered around Ganghwa 江華, it would be necessary that they should promise to be closely united with their upper ruler as the significant figures. They were thinking that they had to maintain permanently the united relationship because they had overcoming power against the Mongol 蒙古 Empire and were not believing that the region come to be ruled by her would not be absorbed into cultural order system or would not become the region that cultural order was established in their own times. By creating and singing 'Jeongseok-ga' they not only did swear permanent loyalty to the ruler but also did strengthen internal union themselves. Catching the implicit meaning and the creating context of the text Jeongseok-ga, I found out that the word Jeongseok 鄭石 had the same meaning of the word Danggeum-am 當今巖 which was the holly stone that was put to the centered place of the world, where Dangeum 當今 who was served faithfully as the highest figure by shamans existed.
