19세기 양반층의 걸궁기록을 통해 본 전라도 농악문화 발달의 단편

Abstract

Nongak in Jeolla-d o developed based on Geolgung activities, and the region has greatesteem for artistic talents related to Geolgung , which deserves historical research. In Jeollado,a number of civilian records related to Nongak have been identified, Geolgung placesgreat importance on formality and procedures, and there are cases in which Yangban familiessponsored Nongak performers. This paper aims to explore the context of the historicaldevelopment of Geolgung by reviewing the records before the Japanese colonial period. Both Geolgung-related records that have been passed down in the historic house Unjoru inGurye and the archives of the Nampyeong Mun clan are important because they are proofsthat Yangban , the upper class in the 19th century, enjoyed and supported Nongak . In 1899the social leaders in Omi-dong, Gurye , publicized the need for Geolgung to raise funds forSeodang (village school), and formed a Geolgungpae (Geolgung band) to raise money. TheNampyeong Mun clan accommodated 50 Geolgungpaes throughout the 19th century tocooperate with fundraising, and sponsored entertainers including people of talent and singers117 times. These records confirm that the Yangban class in the 19th century emerged aspatrons who cooperated with Geolgung’s activities for public donation and at the same timeenjoyed and supported the entertainment of Geolgungpae. There are extant documents related to Geolgung recorded by civilian people in charge ofGeolgung . They are noteworthy in that they contain a large number of Chinese charactersand focus on formality and procedures rather than performance of Geolgung . The use ofChinese characters and the importance placed on formality suggest that the intellectualclass participated in activities related to Geolgung. It has been found that in the procedure ofNongak in the form of Geolgung , which has been transmitted to date, the primary test wason knowledge and wisdom and the secondary test was on the artistic aspect. The primary test on knowledge and wisdom in Geolgung-style Nongak was only possible on the premisethat both those who performed Geolgung and those who accommodated them had sufficientknowledge and understanding. Yangban ’s participation, enjoyment and support of Geolgung , Chinese characters andformality-oriented records appearing in the documents of the civilian people in charge ofGeolgung , and tests of knowledge and wisdom at the initiation ceremony of Geolgungpae :these can be considered to be related to each other because such culture is difficult to formwithout the participation of the Yangban class or the intellectual class. Nongak in Jeolla-doemphasized the formality of Geolgung , and people of the region recognized Nongak derivedfrom Geolgungpae performance as a special form of performing art and passed it down to thepresent generation. This historical process is related to the emergence of Yangban in the 19thcentury as the class who enjoyed Nongak.
