In this paper, I reexamined the word 'Sijo-samjang(시조삼강)' and gave a new meaning of it. In addition, I proposed the new concept of 'Sijo-samjang' which meant the characteristic of a Pyon'ga(편가) in Sijo-chang(시조창). For a long time, 'Sijo-samjang' was regarded as a word which indicated the three sections of a Sijo. It was because of the fixed idea that a Sijo was always composed of a form separated by three parts. Unlike the fixed idea, I found the fact that 'Sijo-samjang' meant singing successively three different Sijos which adapted three different music by reexamining the actual uses of the word in the texts of the days. Thus, I could come to a conclusion that 'Sijo-samjang' was the word indicating a specific music system of a Sijo-chang(singing a Sijo) corresponding to a Pyon'ga of a Gagok(가곡). 'Sijo-samjang' seemed to be molded up while the music of Sijo-chang developed. Usually, a successive singing of the three different Sijos, such as Pyong-sijo(평시조), Chirum-sijo(지름시조), and Sasol-sijo(사설시조), was called 'Sijo-samjang'. However, some of the three could be omitted, and some of it could be substituted by a derived song. This kind of a usual and a derived form seemed to be settled as an important custom of singing a Silo after the 19 century. The main point of the development of music in Sijo-chang was having the characteristic of compilation which meant singing Pyong-sijo, Chirum-sijo, and Sasol-sijo successively. 'Sijo-samjang' was the concept which explained this kind of characteristic and was one of the key words to understand the development of Sijo-chang.
