일무의 연행형태에 대한 새로운 접근

Abstract

This study is to seek a new approach on the base of Tasan's view about how to emphasize the cultural identity of Korean ilmu 佾舞 (ritual dance) which is related to Chinese culture in the 21st century when the cultural identity is seriously considered and our cultural difference from that of China is required. First, about the instruments which are used in Confucian shrine (Munmyo 文廟) and the sacrificial ritual for ancestral shrine of Royal family (Chongmyo cherye 宗廟祭禮), I prescribe the instrument that a pheasant's feather (ch'imi 雉尾) is on upright position as u 羽, and the instrument that pheasant's feather is on downward as wooden dragon's head, chŏk 翟. Second, I indicate that u should be used as the right instrument grabbed by right hand in the current Confucian ritual of shrine. Third, I point out the inconformity of the dancing type where a lance or a sword is carried in just one hand in current military dance of ilmu in the ancestral shrine. The reasons of inconformity are that they are not correspondent between Korean documentary records and Chinese ones, and that they are not in accordance with Orientalism which stresses the harmony between negative (ŭm 陰) and positive (yang 陽). Besides, this study is to seek a new approach to ilmu in terms of the origin of ilmu, the ancient formation theory of ilmu, and the new prospect of ilmu from the view of Tasan. The results are as follows. First, the origin of ilmu is a symbolic motion in the rituals to show the public morality of successful men in life. Second, ancient form of ilmu, as Tasan indicated, had some entertainment phrases including dramatic elements performed by sixty-four dancers who have unique clothes, characteristic meanings, and different dancing movements one another. Third, the study presents the invention of new Korean ilmu such as the story of King Taejo, Yi Sŏng-gye 李成桂 in Chosŏn on the presupposition that an emperor can not only create court dance and music, but a monarch can also create court dance and music in case that his majesty has much civil virtue.
