How Sijo is Performed

Sijo 'Cheongsanri'

Harvard Professor David McCann lectures on Sijo

Form of Sijo

History of Sijo David McCann

David McCann explains sijo form. Sijo are written in three lines, each averaging 14-16 syllables for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line is written in four groups of syllables that should be clearly differentiated from the other groups, yet still flow together as a single line. When written in English, sijo may be written in six lines, with each line containing two syllable groupings instead of four. Additionally, as shown in the example below, liberties may be taken (within reason) with the number of syllables per group as long as the total syllable count for the line remains the same. This sijo lecture series is developed by Sejong Cultural Society with the grant from the Korea Foundation.
