This study aims to examine the changes in dance moves and accompanying music of Cheoyongmu(處容舞) that had been performed at royal banquets during the late period of Joseon Dynasty. To do so, the researcher examines documents related to banquets during the period in order to observe how and why Cheoyongmu had changed over time. As such, it is a follow-up study to the “Study of Cheoyongmu during the Reign of King Cheoljong(哲 宗)”. The research outcomes prove a previous argument wrong, which claims that succession of Cheoyongmu was severed on the basis of the absence of related records for seven decades in the late period of Joseon Dynasty. Another finding is that Hyangdanggyoju(鄕唐交奏), which appears with great frequency as an accompanying music in Euigue(儀軌) and Holgi(笏 記) during the late period of Joseon Dynasty, was in fact Youngsanhoesang(靈山會上). The analysis suggests that changes of Cheoyongmu for royal banquets during the period were widely different from changes in the early period of Joseon Dynasty. Specifically, the most pronounced change came from music. Contents and organization of dance moves also underwent changes, and above all, the song, Cheoyongga(處容歌), was not performed in banquet rituals during the late period of Joseon Dynasty. These findings are expected to lay down basic information to illuminate more accurate history of Cheoyongmu for the future generations.
