조선시대 후기설(候氣說)의 수용 양상

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare and examine the cultural aspects of the Houqishuo, which originated from the Han Dynasty in China, and its transmission to the Joseon Dynasty, as well as to investigate the practices and evaluations after the Joseon Dynasty adopted such beliefs. The Houqishuo was introduced to the Joseon Dynasty’s court in its early stages through the "Lulu xinshu(律呂新書)" and relevant practices of the Houqifa(候氣法) began to be implemented. Discussions about the Houqishuo in later periods in the Joseon Dynasty shifted from the palace to literati circles. The conclusion of the examination of the Houqishuo in the Joseon Dynasty is as follows: In the late 17th century, the attitude towards the Houqishuo, which had already been abolished in China, was similarly negative in the Joseon Dynasty’s court. However, by the 18th century, there were still affirmations of the Houqishuo among the Joseon Dynasty literati. Based on this, it can be demonstrated that the Houqishuo plays an important role both politically and musically. Therefore, exploring how the Houqishuo, transmitted from China, developed in Korean Confucian music thought and culture also provides insights into the process of change in music theory originated from China during the Joseon Dynasty.
