조선시대 춤 시연자로서의 사대부

Abstract

This study aims to examine the dance culture enjoyed by the scholar-gentry class as demonstrators in the Joseon Dynasty, and also to reveal that they are the subjects who make the dance history of the Joseon Dynasty as amateurs. For this, this study selected the literary research method to extract and analyze the articles related to dance from diaries written by the scholar-gentry class. The contents of the articles are as follows. Lee, Mun-Geon’s <Mukjae’s Diary> and Yoo, Hee-Chun’s <Miam Diary> did not show the contents in which they were demonstrating in the banquet hall while showing the aspect of recommending other noblemen to dance. Oh, Hee-Mun’s <Shwemi-rok> recorded that the scholar-gentry class played the gayageum or pipe, sang, and then performed the crane dance. The <Bubuk Diary> by Park, Gye-Sook and Park, Chui-Mun recorded that the official dancing girls were told to sing and dance during the military service in Hamgyeong-do region. As the subjects who enjoyed the arts, the scholar-gentry class of the Joseon Dynasty showed the aspect of demonstrating dances or recommending others to dance, and the objects were diverse like scholar-gentry class and official dancing girls. The place for performance was not limited like indoor and outdoor. The scholar-gentry class was creating the dance culture by changing together with conditions of the times. Thus, it should not be ignored even though the dance activities of the scholar-gentry class were not significant in the history of dance.
