Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the achievements left by Song Bang-song in chǒngjae research and to think about the remaining tasks, on the occasion of the first anniversary of Song Bang-song's memorial. The achievements of research on chǒngjae in the early Chosǒn period is that Song Bang-song revealed the process of chǒngjae: he presented the process in which chǒngjae occurred and changed. The achievements of Song Bang-song's research on the late Chosǒn Dynasty are as follows. First, he shed light on the value of Ŭigwe as a chǒngjae historical document. Ŭigwe historical records also led to a shift in perspective from the history of style to the history of culture in the study of chǒngjae. Second, he investigated for the first time the role of the administrative system in the late Chosǒn Dynasty in the selection process of chǒngjae dancers. Third, he paid attention to the changes and continuation of chǒngjae repertoire. Fourth, he presented the musical terms related to chǒngjae. The result of his research on modern chǒngjae is that he derived the result of revealing how chǒngjae was adapted and passed down in the changed social conditions. Song Bang-song said that the theory should be established by considering the historical meaning of the facts rather than focusing on historical facts. This is the remaining task for the chǒngjae researchers.
