Abstract

Ŭigwe 儀軌(official record of court events) is a report in which various ceremonies in the court of Korea were recorded. Since the court ceremonies in Chosŏn 朝鮮era were often accompanied by music, there are numbers of records about music in ŭigwe, and instrument figures were included in ŭigwe as well. This study looks into the distribution status of instrument figures in ŭigwe, recording method and kind of instrument focusing on instrument book. As for instrument figures, it is normal to draw instruments played in court music. However, each ŭigwe had an access to several kinds of instruments depending on purpose of making ŭigwe. Chongmyo ŭigwe 『宗廟儀軌』 and Sajiksŏ ŭigwe 『社稷署儀軌』 include wide range of the figures of instruments used for playing Chongmyo 宗廟(Royal Ancestral Shrine) ritual music and Sajik 社稷(Land and Grain Rite)ritual music in that era. On the other hand, in case of the Kyŏngmogung ŭigwe 『景慕宮儀軌』 in which Kyŏngmogung 景慕宮ritual formalities was recorded, it only has the figures of the instruments played Kyŏngmogung ritual formalities at that time. Also, in the Kukchang togam ŭigwe 『國葬都監儀軌』 in which funeral was recorded, eleven kinds of court music instruments specially designed for burial ceremony were drawn without adding or deducting. The court party related ŭigwe includes figures of instruments played for court music. Yanggŭm 洋琴(Western dulcimer) and naech'wi 內吹(royal military band) instrument to accompany Sŏnyurak chŏngjae newly introduced to court are boasting graceful and beautiful figures in there. The paintings in instrument figure and the actual instruments forming band did not match often and sometimes showed time differences. The primary object of ŭigwe was to record overall ceremony. Since the instrument figures were merely part of ŭigwe, possible it could be treated with less care. In the big frame of ŭigwe,instrument figures are just several pieces of puzzle. Nevertheless, ŭigwe is one of the cultural heritages displaying vivid record of the old time, several hundred years ago,based on fact and accuracy. Therefore, the musical instrument figures in ŭigwe have sufficient value as a data for study of court music. Also, there should be a continuous effort to reach and view the figures of instruments from the viewpoint of the painters who made ŭigwe at that time.
