淸史稿 ？樂志？의 조선음악 기록을 통해 본 중국 史書의 해석 문제

Abstract

There are some records about music of Chosŏn dynasty in Qingshigaoꡔ淸史稿ꡕ Yuezhi 樂志 which is an official history book of Qing dynasty China. We can find some facts of music history in this book ; Chosŏn dynasty music was included among yanyue 燕樂 of Qing dynasty in Chinese King Taizong 太宗, music and dance were performed together in yanyue 燕樂, and taegŭm 大笒, p'iri 觱篥 and drum were used as the accompaniments of toch'ŏkki 倒擲技. There were nine countries' music in yanyue 燕樂, which were symbols of political submission. Although the Qingshigao was a history book edited by Chinese official organizing system of history, the substantial contents of the records were not what was intact, thereby, it might be necessary that the records of Korean music in Chinese official history books should be reexamined. Houhanshu ꡔ後漢書ꡕ, Suishu ꡔ隋書ꡕ, Jiu Tangshu ꡔ舊唐書ꡕ, Xin Tangshu ꡔ新唐書ꡕ, etc. having the records of Korean music must be written with a standpoint of Sinocentrism, so it can be argued that the contents of Korean music in those history books were not Korean music itself of that period. The Chinese had been disparaged neighbor nations in history, so the viewpoint that Korean music history was that of import of foreign music should be reconsidered.
