Compared with his tremendous work in aristocratic music, Dr. Jang Sa-hun has done research in folk music less in quantity. However, his work in folk music are considered very important : description about folk songs such as Arirang and Gilsori, study of Seansori Santaryeong, and theory about musicians, jangdan(rhythmic pattern), tori(musical idiom) are very helpful to the junior scholars. For example, some of his view that Gangwondo-arirang is the original in the folk songs called Arirang, Pungnyeonga, a song of Gyeonggi Province, was derived from Gilsori, Semachi is not a usual jangdan, Gyemyeonjo is defined not just by tonal structure and mode but tonal hierarchy and ornaments. His outstanding view about music such as these are very intuitive, coming from his musical experience as a geomungo player, and work experience at Iwangjikaakbu(the Music Institute of Yi Royal Family) and Gunggip-gugakwon(the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts)
