조선 초기 향악기의 종류(2)

Abstract

Based upon the document on Akgong ch'wijae 樂工取才 in Sejong sillok 『世宗實錄』 and Hyangbu akki tosŏl 鄕部樂器圖說 in Akhak kwebŏm 『樂學軌範』 Volume 7, it has been known so far in the history of Korean music that there are 12 instruments for hyangak in the early Chosŏn dynasty, which are kayagŭm 伽倻琴, kŏmun'go 거문고, hyang pip'a 鄕琵琶, taegŭm 大笒, cjunggŭm 中笒, sogŭm 小笒, tang pip'a 唐琵琶, changgo 杖鼓, haegŭm 奚琴, hyang p'iri 鄕觱篥, sogwanja 小管子 and ch'ojŏk 草笛. However, it was required to be reexamined owing to the fact that other instruments are mentioned in Akhak kwebŏm Vol 2, 5, and 8. The previous research studied the instruments used for court music at ceremonial events in Munsojŏn 文昭殿, Honjŏn 魂殿, and Ŏjŏn yeyŏn 御前禮宴 and revealed 11 kinds of them. This follow-up research is intended to find out more of them. As a result, there have been found 16 more instruments: sogwanja 小管子, chojŏk 草笛, chunggŭm 中笒, sogŭm 小笒, sogŭm 小金, taegŭm 大金, chunggo 中鼓, sogak 小角, taegak 大角, sogo 小鼓, taego 大鼓, na 螺, tongbal 銅鈸, abak 牙拍, and t'aep'yŏngso 太平簫. This research will not help only renew our knowledge on various instruments of hyngak in the early Chosŏn dynasty but also broaden our perspectives on hyangak instruments which have been used since the late Chosŏn dynasty.
