The plot of Arirang connected with ethnic publicity and it's narrative strategies appealed to cognitive structure of national characteristics and invited readers into sympathy through them. The conceptual blending is the important means by what we can understand the structure of text and signaling pathway of text meanings.

By trying dynamic composition of spaces and times, of visual and acoustic images, metaphors and metonymies, it depends on the image effects that a synthesis of the ethnic experiences and cognitions creates. The conceptual blending at Arirang is a significant process that connects the images of song 'Arirang' between the cultural and historical experiences of Koreans.
