Abstract: From the time-independent current $$ in the quantum self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) theory, we construct new group-valued quantum fields $$ and $$ which satisfy a set of exchange algebras such that fields of $$ satisfy the original time-independent current algebras. For the correlation functions of the products of the $$ and $$ fields defined in the invariant state constructed through the current $$ we can derive the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (K-Z) equations with an additional spatial dependence on $$. From the $$ and $$ fields we construct the quantum-group generators --- local, global, and semi-local --- and their algebraic relations. For the correlation functions of the products of the $ildeU$ and $ilde{U}^{-1}$ fields defined in the invariant state constructed through the semi-local quantum-group generators we obtain the quantum-group difference equations. We give the explicit solution to the two point function.
