Abstract

Researches have thus far generally based the origin or prototype of Hyeongeum玄琴 [Geomungo] on Samguksagi三國史記 (Three Kingdoms History), Goguryeo tomb murals, and tomb murals dispersed in northeastern and northwestern parts of China. This study thus explored the background to the creation of Hyeongeum玄琴 by reexamining Samguksagi. Also, Rectangular stringed instruments, which are understood to be Wokonghou臥箜篌, were examined. They were depicted in tomb murals that date back to Wei and Jin dynasties and that are dispersed in northeastern and northwestern parts of China. Wei and Jin魏晋 existed in the period similar to that of Goguryeo. Further, rectangular stringed instruments, which are depicted in murals in eight Goguryeo tombs, were studied. Based on the reexamination of Samguksagi, it is presumed that Hyeongeum was recreated by attaching fixing pillars of Wokonghou - with which then Goguryeo people were familiar - to a Qīxiánqín (a seven-stringed instrument from Jin). Rectangular stringed instruments, which are depicted in Goguryeo ancient tomb murals, are classified into 3 types. Putting together the contents of Samguksagi, the theory that Wang San-ak was the second premier during the reign of King Jangsuwang (413-491) of Goguryeo according to Pungmunja, and the fact that instruments similar to rectangular stringed instruments depicted in Goguryeo tomb murals appeared in tomb murals in northeastern and northwestern parts of China, the first type of Hyeongeum is thought to be Wokonghou or Jaeng箏 (a 13-stringed instrument) according to the existence or non-existence of pillars. The second type features pillars on the upper surface of the instrument and yet is played by the performer with a posture of kneeling down; thus, it is thought to be Wokonghou because it is similar to the instrument depicted in Wokonghou performance paintings in Jiayuguan嘉峪關 or Jiuquan酒泉, China. The third type has pillars on the upper surface of the instrument as with present-day Hyeongeum, and is played by the performer with the posture of knees spread as today; thus it is thought to be Hyeongeum.
