중국과 일본의 近世 都市祝祭演戱의 비교 연구 —글과 그림의 대조를 통하여

Abstract

This study aims to compare the aspects of modern urban festivals and performing arts in China and Japan to identify universality and identity and present the Historical meaning. The results of the study are approximately as follows. First, in both China and Japan, wealth and technology become the core classes of modern urban festivals, along with governing power. Second, in China, private organizations led the formation of the festival procession, but in Japan, the administrative section of the city was in charge of the festival procession. Third, in China, the festival procession was organized based on performing arts, while in Japan, it was organized based on administrative compartments and chariots. Fourth, Chinese modern urban festivals favored Taige(臺閣), and in Japan, chariots were used as the core concept of street marches. Fifth, in China, Emperor's birthday could have been celebrated as a urban festival because the emperor was the most powerful, while in Japan, the urban festival did not deviate from the temple's rite because the emperor and the shogun(將軍) shared its nominal and real power.
