The origin of Pan Suo Li can be traced back to the period of Suzong (1674-1720) of the Korean Dynasty, which was the period of the rise of Korean civilian culture. It had twelve collections. In the age of Britain and Zhengzu, there appeared "Pan Suoli's Eight Generations of Famous Singers". They expanded the scope of "beat" and "tune". By the end of the Korean Dynasty, Shen Zaixiao had changed the original twelve collections into six collections, which became the Pansori performance we saw today.
