Abstract

Fork Song is the basis of poetry. So it has significant meaning in the study of literature and literary education. As literary education aims to make the leaners to enjoy literature a way of life, fork song is the nearest genre which can be a way of life. But in the real area of literary education, fork song has not been dealt with so. It has been taught as a knowledge, which is a part of the history of literature, and the number of fork songs which is included in the textbook is remarkably fewer than the other genres. The lack of research on fork song can be the reason why fork song gets an unkind treatment in the literary education. But I think that it is the fundamental reason that only few researcher interested in the influence of enjoying fork song, especially to the contemporary people. So I tried to clarify the experience of the people who enjoyed fork song; how they recognized their life and reacted about the world in singing fork song. Especially I attended two elements in the fork song; parallelism and satire. I think that parallel enabled the relative recognition, and satire draw laugh to the people. And through these ways they could overcome the difficulties of their lives. In conclusion, I think that today’s people also can enjoy the usefulness of fork song, and it should be the aim of fork song education.
