무무(武舞)의 지향점 탐구를 통한 한국 문묘일무의 독자성 연구

Abstract

Munmyo Ilmu, the dance of Seokjeon Daeje, is divided into two types: Munmu and Mumu. The study begins with the study of Mumu, which is the only thing that Korea has inherited, to find out that the coexistence of Munmu and Mumu is indispensable. The aim is to explore the direction of Mumu and reveal the identity of Munmyo Ilmu in Korea. In response, I searched for the direction of Mumu by linking the paintings of Munmyo Ilmu with the contents of the ancient text containing the records of Mumu. As a result, Mumu described war, but ultimately it was a dance of peace. This appears in the process of consciousness of ‘以文止武,’ which aims to establish a ruling system with virtues after establishing order by war, and ‘建櫜,’ which expresses its determination not to start another war by sealing weapons used in the war. Thus, it was revealed that political punishment was only the second best measure for the peaceful era, so that Munmu and Mumu's goals were in line. Munmu and Mumu, which look different but have the same goal, coexist in harmony between yin and yang. However, China and other Eastern countries that honor Confucius hold rituals only by Munmu. Only Munmyo Ilmu in Korea preserves the original form of dance that combines yin and yang, academic virtues and military exploits. This is a unique characteristic of Korean Munmyo Ilmu. I hope to expand our awareness of preserving Munmyo Ilmu, a Korean cultural heritage that continues its old meaning without any distortion.
