진주권번의 활동과 의의

Abstract

The gisaengs of Jinju established the Jinju Yegi Association in 1913 and were founded as Jinju Kwonbeon in 1927. And in 1939 it was converted to Jinju Kwonbeon Co., Ltd. through Japanese colonial era. This paper studied the establishment, operation, education, performance, artist and lepatoris of Jinju Kwonbeon, and confirmed that Jinju Kwonbeon inherited the tradition of Jinju performance art. The artistic significance of Jinju Kwonbeon is as follows. First, Jinju Kwonbeon preserved and handed down the tradition of performing arts in Jinju area. This is because Jinju Geommu as the National Intangible Cultural Property and Hanryangmu, Jinju Pogorakmu, Jinju Gyobang Gutgeori Dance as Gyeongnam Intangible Cultural Property were handed down. Second, Jinju Kwonbeon tried to revive the "Uiam Byeolje" in honor of Nongae and carried it out. In 1920, the Jinju Kwonbeon gisaeng first organized an erection meeting in the Jinju area for the reconstruction of Uigisa. In 1927, they began to perform ancestral rites. Uiam Byeolje inspired the pride of Jinju locals and Jinju gisaeng. Thirdly, Jinju Kwonbeon passed down Jinju Geommu, a precious traditional Korean performing arts. During the Uiambyeolje Festival, the geomancy of Jinju Kwonbeon always practiced sword dance and danced. When Jinju Geommu was designated as an intangible cultural asset, it was not a coincidence that the Eight sword dance of the entertainers from Jinju Kwonburn was possible. Fourth, the gisaengs of Jinju Kwonbeon took the lead in the independence movement of Jinju in 1919, and raised questions about the unreasonable operation of Jinju's restraunt or Jinju Kwonbeon and staged an alliance strike. It is meaningful that the gisaengs in Jinju Kwonbeon showed their self-reliance rather than passive, even though they were gisaengs.
