The Reality, Problem, and Direction of the Re-presentation of

This study compared the content of \textlessYeonhwadaemu(蓮花臺舞)\textgreater that has been re-presented currently to 『Jeongjaemudoholgi(呈才舞圖笏記)』 based on the literature published between 1981 and 2014 to examine what needs to be considered when \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater is attempted to be re-presented based on the literature; and it drew the conclusion as follows.First, \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater that has been re-presented currently shows the trend divided into two different dance types: before it was designated as the Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 40 and after it was designated. It was danced as \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater before it was designated and as \textlessHakyeonhwadaehapseol(鶴蓮花臺合設)\textgreater after it was designated. Two different dance contents existed: ‘Ssanghori’ and ‘Doyakmu(跳躍舞).’ ‘Ssanghori’ had two dance techniques and ‘Doyakmu’ had threethese dance techniques were originated from the dances of Cheonheung Kim and Heunggu Lee. Also, when \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater is compared to 『Jeongjaemudoholgi』, most of the dance orders were based on the content of 『Jeongjaemudoholgi』, but on the other hand, the dance steps that were not recorded in Holgi, such as Illyeoldaehyeong, Jwauiljeon, and Isugojeo, and the new content, such as ‘Gwemyeonbok(궤면복[拜])’ that is to be performed after all dance is finished was added. The content, recorded in Holgi, was re-interpreted and ‘Doyakmu’ was replaced with ‘Ssanghori’ and Guho(口號), Donggi(童妓), and Changsa(唱詞) in Jukganja(竹竿子) had only the first verse, which is different from the practice singing all verses as written in Holgi.To conclude, \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater, re-presented currently, followed the content written in 『Jeongjaemudoholgi』, yet each dancer had different dance contents. Although it had been going through a constant and gradual modification process to be re-presented as the literature after it was designated as a cultural heritage, different re-presentations were happened since the interpretations of『Jeongjaemudoholgi』 were done in subjective points of views. In order to re-present \textlessYeonhwadaemu\textgreater based on the literature in the future, rather than re-presenting in the order, recorded in 『Jeongjaemudoholgi』, the interpretation must be done with the detailed integrated method and the integrated research approach that investigate the correlations among lyrics, dance, music, and ceremony.
