Let’s Read

The Chunhyangjeon (The Tale of Ch’unhyang or The Story of Ch’unhyang) is one of Korea’s
most iconic stories and one of Korea's favorite folk tales. Although its author and date of composition are
unknown, it most likely originated as a work of pansori, a form of musical storytelling involving song and
percussion, and was later adapted into prose during the reign of either King Sukjong (r. 1674–1720) or
King Yeongjo (r. 1724–1776). The classic love story has been rendered into several films, plays and other
dramatic forms. Multiple versions exist, but they all adhere to the same basic plot.

The Ch’unhyang Story

The Ch’unhyang Story is adapted from Ha Tae Hung, Folk Tales of Old Korea, Korean Cultural Series 6

(Seoul: Yonsei University Press, 1967)

Illustrated by: Shim Soo-keun

Formerly there lived in the province of Cholla, in the town of Namwon, a magistrate's son named
Yi Mongyong. He had much literary talent, and grew up to be a handsome young man.
One beautiful morning, Master Yi Mongyong called his servant, Pangja, and asked him to show
him a place where he might see wild flowers. Pangja led him to a summer pavilion near a bridge called
"Ojak-kyo," or the "Magpie Bridge." The view from the bridge was as beautiful as the summer sky, and
thus, was named after the tale of the herd boy and the Weaving Maid.
 Looking at the distant mountains, Yi Mongyong caught sight of a young maiden swinging
beneath one of the trees. He asked Pangja about the lovely maiden and her attendant. He replied that
she was Ch'unhyang (Spring Fragrance), a daughter of Wolmae (Moon Plum), the retired kisaeng
entertainer. Pangja related to his young master that this young girl was not only beautiful but also
virtuous. Yi Mongyong insisted that Pangja inform Ch'unhyang that he wished to meet her.
"Don't you know the butterfly must pursue the flower, and the geese must seek the sea?" retorted
Ch'unhyang.
Pangja reported what she had said to Yi Mongyong, who became disconsolate. The servant
suggested that he saw the young maid himself. Yi Mongyong approached Ch'unhyang. She was even
more beautiful than he had first thought.
The wind blew her black hair and long ribbon over her rosy face, and she glowed with virtue and
happiness. "This good fortune is offered me today. Why wait until tomorrow? Should I not speak to this
pretty girl now?" Yi Mongyong said to himself. Just then Ch'unhyang, frightened at being watched, jumped
down from her swing and ran toward her house. Stopping under a peach tree at her garden gate she
plucked a blossom and kissed it, her lips and cheeks redder than the bloom, and was gone.
Pangja urged his master to hasten home so that his father might know nothing of his adventure,
and then punish Pangja for allowing Yi Mongyong to wander so far. The youth returned home in a trance,
and went immediately to sit at dinner with his parents. With the meal finished, Yi Mongyong went to his
room, lit a candle, and opened a book. Reading proved impossible. The words blurred before his eyes
and every word and every character was "Spring" and "Fragrance"- Ch'unhyang, Ch'unhyang,
Ch'unhyang. Calling Pangja, he said, "Tonight I must see Ch'unhyang. Did she not say that the butterfly
must pursue the flower?"
They went to Ch'unhyang's house, stopping under the peach tree in the garden as they
approached. At that moment Ch'unhyang's mother was telling her daughter that she had had a dream in
which a blue dragon coiled itself around Ch'unhyang's body and, holding her in its mouth, flew up to the
sky. Looking up, instead of the dragon in the clouds, the girl's mother saw a dragon on earth, for Yi
Mongyong walked out of darkness and spoke to her.
On learning the purpose of his visit, she called Ch'unhyang to meet the young nobleman, and Yi
Mongyong asked Ch'unhyang's mother for the hand of her daughter. The old woman, thinking her dream
had come true, gladly consented, and said, "You are a nobleman's son and Ch'unhyang is the daughter
of a kisaeng, so there cannot be a formal marriage. If you give us a secret marriage contract, writing your
pledge not to desert her, we shall be contented."
Yi Mongyong seized a brush and set down the following lines: "The blue sea may become a
mulberry field, and the mulberry fields may become the blue sea, but my heart for Ch'unhyang shall never
change. Heaven and earth and all the gods are witnesses."
In their sleep that night they dreamed of Mandarin ducks swimming together. For several nights
he visited his beloved, until she teased him, saying that he should go home and study hard to become a
great official like his father. Unfortunately, their time together did not last.
Not long after the secret marriage, the servant brought Yi Mongyong a message saying that his
father, newly appointed to the King's cabinet, was being recalled to the capitol. Yi Mongyong, who was to
accompany his father, went that evening to Ch'unhyang and told her the bad news. The young couple
was forced to say a tearful goodbye at the Magpie Bridge.
"Since there is no way to change our fate, let us embrace and part," said Ch'unhyang, throwing
her arms around her lover. She then gave him a ring. "This is my token of love for you. Keep it until we
meet again. Go in peace, but do not forget me. I shall remain faithful to you and wait here for you to come
and take me away to Seoul." With these words, they parted.
The new Namwon magistrate arrived soon afterward, and among his first words to his servant
were, "Bring me Ch'unhyang, the pretty girl I have heard of." "This is difficult sir," replied the retainer, "for
she is already married secretly to Yi Mongyong, the son of the former magistrate."
 Angered, the new magistrate ordered Ch'unhyang summoned at once. Too terrified to disobey an
order by the magistrate, Ch'unhyang accompanied the servant. The magistrate looked at her attentively.
"I heard much of you in Seoul, and today I see you are very beautiful. Will you come to me?"
Choosing her words carefully, Ch'unhyang replied, "I am committed to Yi Mongyong. That is why I
cannot do as you ask. The King has sent you here to take care of the people. You have a heavy
responsibility to the throne. It would be better to fulfill your duties and apply justice according to the laws
of the country." Ch'unhyang's defiance enraged the magistrate, and he ordered her taken to prison. "Why
put me in prison?" Ch'unhyang protested, "I have done no wrong. A married woman must be faithful to
her husband, just as a magistrate should be faithful to the king."
This merely served to anger the magistrate further, and before long Ch'unhyang found herself in
a prison cell.
Meanwhile, Yi Mongyong had arrived in Seoul, where he studied hard and learned all the famous
Chinese classics. He passed the government examinations with the highest distinction, thereby qualifying
for a position in the king's service. In congratulating him after the munkwa examinations, the king asked
Yi Mongyong. "Do you wish to be a magistrate or a governor?"\
"I should like to be appointed amhaeng osa," replied Yi Mongyong. Yi Mongyong, as an
amhaeng osa, traveled around the country with his attendants, disguised as beggars. They inquired
everywhere after the needs of the people in order to assess the quality of local districts’ administrations.
Soon he arrived near Namwon, and came to a small farming village where the people were planting rice.
While working, the peasants sadly chanted: "We come out in the scorching heat, plough our
fields, sow our seeds, and make the rice grow. First we must pay tribute to the king, give a part to the
poor, a part to travelers who come knocking at our doors, and save money for ancestral services. This
would be all right if the magistrate did not squeeze us for even more, leaving us with hardly anything to
eat."
Much interested, Yi Mongyong approached and said, "I have heard that the magistrate of
Namwon has married Ch'unhyang and that they live together happily."
"How dare you speak like that?" retorted one of farmers. "Ch'unhyang is faithful, true and pure,
and you are a fool to speak thus of her and that tyrant, who is cruel to her. No, her fate is even worse
than that because the son of the former magistrate seduced and deflowered that poor girl, and then
abandoned her, never coming back to see her. He is a bastard, the son of a dog, the son of a pig!" The
farmer's anger shocked Yi Mongyong. He found that many villagers felt the same way. The local yangban
aristocrats shared the people's wrath. Yi Mongyong happened on a spot where some yangban were
having a picnic, comparing poems and conversing on a hillside. He listened as a scholar presented a
poem railing against the unjust provincial government. When he was done, another picnicker said, "These
are sad days! I've heard that a young woman called Ch'unhyang is to be executed in two or three days."
"Oh! This Magistrate is a wretch!" said another. "He is thinking only of overpowering Ch'unhyang,
but she is like the pine and bamboo, which never change. She has remained faithful and true to her
husband."
Another added, "She was married to the son of the old magistrate. What a pig her husband is! He
abandoned the poor girl."
These comments made Yi Mongyong, weary and ashamed, hasten to Namwon. Meanwhile,
Ch'unhyang, in prison all this time, remained faithful to the memory of Yi Mongyong. She had grown thin,
feeble, and sick. One day she had a dream, in which she saw her house. In her garden, the flowers that
she had planted and loved had faded. The mirror in her room was broken. Her shoes were hanging on
the lintel of the door. She called to a blind man who happened to be passing by her cell window, and
asked him the significance of her dream.
"I shall tell you what it means. These dried flowers shall bear fruit, the noise of the broken mirror
will be heard throughout the world, and the shoes on the door indicate a large crowd visiting to offer
congratulations."
 Ch'unhyang thanked the blind man and prayed that his prophecy would come true. In reality,
however, Ch'unhyang's doom was near. That very day the evil magistrate called his attendants together
and said to them, "In three days I shall celebrate a great feast, to which I wish to invite all the magistrates
of the nearby towns, and on that day Ch'unhyang shall be executed."
Meanwhile, Yi Mongyong arrived in the town and went to Ch'unhyang's house. At first, her
mother did not recognize him. "I do not know who you are," she said. "Your face reminds me of Yi
Mongyong, but your clothes are the clothes of a beggar." "But I am Yi Mongyong," said he.
"Oh!" she gasped. "Every day we have waited for you, but alas, in two or three days Ch'unhyang
will be dead."
"Listen to me, Mother," replied Yi Mongyong. "Even though I am a miserable beggar, I still long
for Ch'unhyang, and I want to see her."
With Yi Mongyong following, she knocked at the prison window, calling her daughter, who was
asleep. Awakened, Ch'unhyang asked immediately if anyone had seen Yi Mongyong or heard news of
him.
The mother replied that in place of Yi Mongyong, a beggar had come who claimed he was Yi
Mongyong, and was there now to see her.
Yi Mongyong appeared at the window, and Ch'unhyang looked at him. It seemed to make no
difference to her that he was badly dressed, and seemed to have failed at life in Seoul. Instead, she
reached for him through the bars and struggled to be as close to him as possible.
"I may be a beggar in dress," replied Yi Mongyong, "but I have no beggar's heart!"
"Dear heart," said Ch'unhyang, "how hard your journey must have been. Go back with my mother
and get some rest. Only please - since I am under a sentence of death and must die tomorrow after the
feast - come to my window again in the morning so I may have the joy of seeing you once more before I
die."
Yi Mongyong went home and slept in Ch'unhyang's room. But the next morning, when his
mother-in-law opened the door, she was surprised to find that he was gone. In fact, he had gone early to
collect his attendants, all disguised as beggars like himself. He gave them strict orders. Then, as the
magistrate received his guests and presided over the banquet, Yi Mongyong managed to get into the
palatial office compound and approach the host.
"I am a poor man," he said, "and I am hungry. Please, give me something to eat." It was
customary in Korea, during big feasts in the countryside, for a number of beggars to show up for
handouts, but the furious magistrate commanded his servants to kick the intruder out.
Then Yi Mongyong entered the palace a second time, by climbing on the shoulders of his
servants and going over the wall. The first guest he encountered was the magistrate of Unbong, named
Yong-jang. He said to him, "I am hungry, could you not let me have something?" Yong-jang, feeling some
compassion called one of the kisaengs and asked her to bring something to the beggar.
Yi Mongyong then addressed Yong-Jang: I am obliged to you for giving me good food, and I wish
to repay you with a little poem." Then he extended a paper on which Yong-jang read the lines:

This beautiful wine in golden goblets

Is the blood of a thousand people.
This magnificent meat on these jade tables
Is the flesh and marrow of a thousand lives.
Burning in this banquet hall,
The tears of the hungry people
Pour from their sunken eyes.
Even louder than the noisy song of these courtesans
Resound the complaints of the oppressed peasants.
 Yong-jang, greatly alarmed, cried, "It is against us," and he passed the paper to the host, who
asked, "Who wrote this poem?"
"It is the young beggar," said Yong-jang, pointing to Yi Mongyong, but he was frightened, thinking
that whoever wrote such a poem must be more than a common beggar. Rising up, he suddenly
pretended to have urgent business elsewhere and fled. The other officials likewise sprang to their feet
and stampeded out of the room, only to be stopped by Yi Mongyong's men, who were waiting outside with
their swords. The officials soon understood that the beggar-poet was in fact an amhaeng osa. As they
cowered together in a corner of the courtyard, Yi Mongyong revealed his ma-p'ae and ordered the
magistrate's runners to fetch Ch'unhyang from her cell and to say to her, "The King's envoy has sent for
you. He is going to hear your case and pronounce judgement." In the jail, Ch'unhyang was greatly
frightened.
"Oh!" she cried. "I am going to die! Please, may I see my mother?" Ch'unhyang's mother ran to
her daughter. "Mother, now is the hour of my death. Where is Yi Mongyong?"
"The King's officer is waiting. Do not stop to chitchat!" snapped the runners, and before
Ch'unhyang's mother could speak, they carried her away to the magistrate's courtyard. They removed the
wooden cangue from around her neck and placed her in the presence of the Royal Secret Inspector, who,
sitting behind a screen, questioned her sternly: "If you do not love the magistrate, will you love me and
come to me, the King's envoy? If you refuse I shall order my men to strike off your head immediately."
"Alas!" exclaimed Ch'unhyang. "How unhappy are the poor people of this country! First the
injustice of the magistrate, then you, the King's Inspector, who should help and protect the unhappy
people - you think immediately to condemn to death a poor girl whom you desire. Oh, how sad we
common people are, and how pitiful it is to be a woman!"
Yi Mongyong then ordered the courtesans to untie the cords that bound the hands of
Ch'unhyang. "Now raise your head, and look at me," he said to her.
"No," she answered, "I shall not look at you, I shall not listen to you. Cut my body into pieces if
you like, but I shall never go to you."
Yi Mongyong was deeply touched. He took off his ring and ordered a courtesan to show it to
Ch'unhyang. She saw that was the very ring she had given to her husband Yi Mongyong and, lifting her
eyes, recognized her lover.
"Oh," she cried in joy and surprise. "Yesterday my lover was only a beggar and today he is the
King's officer!"
Yi Mongyong ordered a sedan chair to be brought at once and saw that Ch'unhyang was safely
carried home. The people shouted joyfully and cheered for Ch'unhyang and Yi Mongyong. Then he
summoned the magistrate of Namwon and said, "The King gave you instructions to feed the people well,
and instead you fed upon them. I condemn you in the name of the King to forfeit your position. I banish
you to a faraway island without meat, without wine, and without company. I give you permission to eat the
wild grass till your stomach repents for the way you have fed off the people of Namwon!"
When all this was done, Yi Mongyong took his bride back to Seoul and wrote out the story
Ch'unhyang as an appendix to his official report. The King read it and was surprised to find such fidelity in
a country girl of low birth. He made her a chung-yol puin, or Duchess, and declared that her loyalty was
proof that she was just as good as any yangban daughter, even though her mother was a lowly kisaeng,
and that her conduct should be a model for all women. Ch'unhyang was then officially presented to the
parents of Yi Mongyong, and they accepted her as a proper daughter-in-law. In time, Ch'unhyang bore
three sons and two daughters, and they all lived happily for many years come.

Let’s Discuss Grammar Focus

Kinds of Sentences According to Structure

A sentence may consist of one clause (independent clause) or more clauses (independent and
dependent clauses). An independent clause is also called main clause. A dependent clause is also
called subordinate clause.

On the basis of numbers of clause and types of clauses present in a sentence, sentences are
divided in to four kinds.

1. Simple Sentence
A simple sentence consists of only one independent clause containing a subject and a verb and it
expresses complete thought. There is no dependent clause.
“An independent clause (also called main clause) is called a simple sentence.”
Example: Yi Mongyong approached Ch'unhyang.

2. Compound Sentence
A compound sentence consists of at least two independent clauses joined by coordinating
conjunctions. There is no dependent clause in compound sentence. The coordinating conjunctions use
to join independent clauses are “for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so”. Independent clauses can also be joined
by a semicolon (;). A comma may or may not be used before the conjunction in compound sentence.

The most common sentence connectors are:

therefore moreover indeed while also
hence
in fact nevertheless however thus consequently
Example: The wind blew her black hair and long ribbon over her rosy face, and she glowed with virtue
and happiness.

3. Complex Sentence
Complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent
clause joined by subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun.

Example: If you give us a secret marriage contract, writing your pledge not to desert her, we shall be
contented.

Common Subordinating Conjunctions

Relative Pronouns
after if though
although if only till
as in order that unless
as if now that until
as long as once when Who When Whomever
as though rather than whenever Which Whichever whomsoever
because since where That Whatsoever whose
before so that whereas Whom Whoever whatever
even if than wherever
even though that while
 4. Compound-Complex Sentence
Compound-Complex Sentence consists of at least two independents and one or more dependent
clauses.
Example: Pangja urged his master to hasten home so that his father might know nothing of his
adventure, and then punish Pangja for allowing Yi Mongyong to wander so far.
