Abstract

This paper tries to interpret ‘새셔가만얘라’, a phrase of September in <Dongdong(動動)>, ‘jeong-sonyeon(鄭少年)’ in <Hallim-byeolgok(翰林別曲)>. About ‘saesyeo(새셔)’ were there opinions such as ‘the order of time and tide’, ‘a straw roofed house’ and ‘leak’, etc but there has been no explanation matched with the phrase and its meaning. ‘jeong-sonyeon’ has been extendedly interpreted as a handsome boy or a roughneck based on an obscene or a first but there has been no proof of documentary records. First, ‘saesyeo’ means a good newly filtered wine. ‘seo(醑, 湑)’ stands for a good wine, and in old records were there coined words like ‘bamboo’, ‘sprout’. Considering ‘seo’ was often written as ‘syeo(셔)’ such as “셔안(書案), 셕듁화(石竹花) and 셔얼(庶孼)”, etc, ‘saesyeo(새셔)’ in “새셔가만애라” means a new wine(新醑) and ‘가만다’ stands for ‘subtle perfume(微香)’, which means subtle perfume spread implicitly.(楞嚴經諺解) The phrase of September in <Dongdong> means “when the chrysanthemum eaten as medicine are in, the perfume of a newly filtered wine is so subtle.” A chrysanthemum wine re moves symptoms which cause heart to feel heavy and painful, makes the insides comfortable, pulse smooth and help the blood circulation of arms and legs.(鄕藥集成方) ‘jeong-sonyeon’ in <Hallim-byeolgok> doesn’t mean a boy who has Jeong as a family name or a roughneck but a young man in the Jeong Dynasty who doesn’t care for learning and moral culture but bands together to be relaxed and dissipated. The documentary records about ‘jeong-sonyeon’ can be confirmed in ‘Jasan(子産)’ in Hanbija(韓非子).
