Abstract

Envoys’ visits to Peking expressed in records on envoys’ visits to Peking in the 19th century The purpose of this thesis is to explore the aspect of performance expressed in records on envoys’ visits to Peking in the 19th century among the literary works in the latter period of the Josun dynasty, and understand the classification and character of dancing items. The records include impressions on the various performances at a banquet for comforting envoys. The authors described particularly realistically and vividly the performances of artistes on envoys’ visits at that time. Also, the records include envoys’ inspirations and interests after appreciating performing items which were variously recorded in the form of free writing. The texts reflect the purposes and characters of the performances and dances performed on envoys’ visits. Among many records on envoys’ visits to Peking in the 19th century I have explored Haeeung Lee(李海應, 1775-1825)’s Gyesangijung(薊山紀程, 1803), Saho Bak(朴思浩, 1784-1854)’s Simjungo(心田稿, 1837) and Yungyegijung(燕薊紀程, 1828), Gyungsun Gim(金景善, 1788-?)’s Yunwonjikji(燕轅直指, 1832), Woojun Lee(李遇駿, 801-1867)’s Mongyuyunhaengnok(夢遊燕行錄, 1848), Sunhak Hong(洪淳學, 1842-1892)’s Yunhaengga(燕行歌, 1866), Inmok Yu(柳寅睦, 1839-1900)’s Bukhaengga (北行歌, 1866) and anonymous “Yunwonillok”(燕轅日錄, 1889), which recorded in detail the visits to Peking and dancing items in each area. As a result, I could confirm that the items of dance expressed in records on envoys’ visits to Peking in the 19th century involved a dance flowing in from court, a dance performed in local areas and dances created personally by prostitutes as performers or dances which prostitutes themselves learnt and handed down. I could understand such items of dance as playful for envoys, tasteful for the purpose of their safe return, a play of writing a poem, singing a song, drinking and dancing, blessing, wishing a long life and wishing a peaceful reign. Also, I could understand that Sword Dance as an item of dance performed necessarily on envoys’ visits for the purpose of enhancing their morale played an important role with the character of promoting patriotism and militarism. This thesis explored records on envoys’ visits to Peking including the literary expressions conveying in detail the vividness of a performing scene which cannot be felt at a record of my observations. I think that also in the future it will greatly contribute not only to understanding the various performing aspects of the dances of the 19th century but also restoring the dances performed in the latter period of the Josun dynasty. Also, it can be said to be valuable that I could obtain insufficient but good results by studying historical material about dancing at a literary aspect.
