I have classified Korean chilsdren's songs in China according to the periods. As a result, it has been found out that our children's songs before Independence, 1945 still survive there. And their efforts were seen for the development of children's songs in spite of political and social confusion in China.
Unfortunately, however, there are some which were affected by the social situation which made me guess the writers' anguish and confusion.
During the research, I could find some differences between our songs and Yeunbyeun songs from 1945 to 1993. They are affected easily by the political situation or social circumstance. In Yeunbyeun children's songs, especially, their titles or words are seen to be used as the means for political propaganda or domestication.
And there are some limitation in creating the words of song in Yeunbyeun children's song, which means that political or lyric the words are less sophiscated, less adequate to evoke the child's emotion, and bave low literary quality and agitating expressions. Yeunbyeun songs have few melodious arts as children's song and monotonous rise and fall in melody and rhythmic movements.
