도살풀이춤 구조의 상징성 연구

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to understand the symbolic meaning in traditional Korean culture’s fundamental thinking structure including ‘counting of threes,’ and ‘left’ and ‘right’ within Dosalpurichum’s structure. Methods: the aforementioned cultural aspects’ tangible and intangible historical humanistic manifestations. Furthermore, an optical recording method called Motion Capture System was utilized to track the movement path and scientifically analyze the trajectory of Dosalpurichum. Results: derived from four aspects. First, the ‘counting of threes’ holds significant meaning for Koreans, symbolizing change and rebirth, dimensional shifts, and qualitative leaps. Second, to Koreans, the left side represents the sacred and unusual, while the right side represents the secular and universal. Third, Dosalpurichum’s introductory part creates a unique spatial composition as the path of the Dosalpuri Beat follows a sequence of three repeated triangular formations before drawing a circle. Conclusions: Dosalpurichum prioritizes the left side, but spends more time on the right side, maintaining the balance between the sacred and the secular. Korean cultural thought, which includes the culture of ‘counting of threes’ and the symbolism of left and right, forms the foundation of Dosalpurichum structure. It serves as a spiritual measure that embodies aesthetic consciousness.
