漢代 角抵戲의 공연상황 고찰

Abstract

The Ancient wrestling(‘角抵’) was originally a strength match that simply competes for power and decides the winners of match. There was also a form of play with an entertaining element, regardless of outcome of the game. It can be called the ‘Jiao-Di opera’(‘角抵戲’). This study discussed the origin and performance situation of ‘Jiao-Di opera’, which was widely popular during the Han Dynasty. The beginning of the Han Dynasty ‘Jiao-Di opera’ was directly related to the transformation of the military ceremonies aimed at training soldiers in the previous periods. As the ceremonies for practicing martial arts Performed during the Zhou Dynasty lost ground in the Warring States period, they gradually transformed into entertainment arts. In the Qin dynasty, its original function and efficacy disappeared, and under the name of ‘Jue-Di’, it was changed to an entertainment performance for the court. Afterwards, during the Han Wudi period, the number of items of ‘Jue-Di’ increased and the performances played a pivotal role in political and diplomatic banquets. After that, ‘Jiao-Di opera’ flourished as a more entertaining performance despite the criticism aginst its secularization. It has developed into a comprehensive performing arts that encompasses all types of performances such as folk songs and dances, acrobatics, illusion, and Chinese opera. In particular, in the Eastern Han period, the scale of ‘Jiao-Di opera’ was further expanded to the extent of replacing the name of ‘Bai-Xi’, and the appearance of <Eastern Sea Huang Gong> strengthened the dramacality of Chinese “song and dance performance story.”
