‘Pansori(판소리)’, ‘Setkyo-bushi(說經節)’ and ‘Joruri(淨瑠璃)’ were formed under the influense of religon and They have very similar performing method. I plan to compare ‘Pansori’, ‘Setkyo-bushi’ and ‘Joruri’. The method of the study were to compare the developing phases of these three literary histories.
‘Setkyo-bushi’, which followed closely the Buddhist literary style, has mostly disappeared. But ‘Joruri’ continued to develope assimilating the best characteristics of ‘Setkyo-bushi’. Many ‘Joruri’ works were also made and ‘Joruri’ followed its own artistic development. SinJachya(申在孝) rearranged twelve Pansori-madangs into six Pansori-madangs. after that, the Pansori world didnt have a special writer or new work until 1945 and ‘Pansori’ had been developing independently. It advanced to the theater stage in the early twentieth century. The development in Korea was different from ‘Joruri’ in Japan. why was there such a difference? I think that this is due to Pansori's unique characteristics as listed below:
① ‘Pansori’ has a peculiar characteristic that we call ‘opennes(開放性)’
② Pansori's audience may request a part of the work which the singer had not planned to perform.
③ Pansori's singers took a long time to complete a work.
④ Pansori artists feel ‘deep regret(恨)’.
⑤ The focus of ‘Pansori’ is the song itself.

Because ‘Pansori’ has these characteristics, Pansori's audience didnt desire new work. these characteristics were different from ‘Joruri’ in Japan. It is of interest to compare ‘Pansori’, ‘Setkyo-bushi’ and ‘Joruri’. Pansori vocal music has highly developed characteristics, more so than ‘Setkyo-bushi’ or ‘Joruri’.
Koreans like music and have much ‘deep regret’ so ‘Pansori’ supports Korean life.
