인문사회과학영역 : 『노자(老子)』「도덕경(道德經)」으로 본 병신춤 = Humanities and Social Sciences : Cripple Dance based on Tao Te Ching written by Lao-tzu

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article focuses on the aesthetic consciousness which is commonly reflected through the aesthetic consciousness of the general public, which is contained in the cripple dance of the Miryang Baekjungnori, and the book of Tao Te Ching written by Lao-tzu. Therefore, it discusses the concept of general culture and the artistic characteristics of the Korean folk dance, considering their relationship. Also, it describes the characteristics of the Miryang Baekjungnori and the Korean folk dance. Lastly, it emphasizes the connection between the book of Tao Te Ching written by Lao-tzu and the Korean dance culture, considering the literal research of cultural science. The cripple dance of the Miryang Baekjungnori is the kind of dance which shows the abnormal expression of one`s deviation from his or her daily life as a physically or emotionally-disabled being. It focuses on the transformation of tragedy into comedy in order to help go beyond one`s life and lead the ethnic way of thinking naturally into one`s life. Through such a process, it is possible to find the meaning of the cripple dance in terms of its contribution to the addition of power in one`s life. Such a meaning could be explained by the tangled and dislocated physical shapes of ``Chumi`` in Chapter 8 in the book of Tao Te Ching. The shapes are used to describe one`s physical movements towards freedom. They do not contribute to the establishment of an unnatural dance. Instead, they make one`s physical movements carried out in a natural way like water. Also, they describe the physical hardships experienced by one`s body as the factors compromising the virtue which can be harmonized through the natural water-like dance with a natural and comfortable feeling, which is located on such a low place as the land with a mind which is as calm as the pond, among a number of people. In Chapter 9, it is said that when one makes achievements, he or she needs to step away from his or her position like the saint from the heaven. Based on such a concept, it can be concluded that instead of waking up our concept and making the dance containing resentment and pleasure become dominant at most, it is necessary to have the kind of virtue for leaving things behind. In Chapter 13, it is stated that it is necessary to clearly distinguish hardships from glory in order to lead a happy life. Also, it is said that one`s moderate attitude towards his or her life, which is not considered to be miserable, is used to show all the pleasant factors which have no objective in regard to the execution of the cripple dance. In other words, the cripple dance is used to show the child-like movements of an adult sincerely through the physical movements of a disabled person. Such a comparison can be regarded as the essential part of the process for expanding the world of Tao Te Ching.
