This study examined Jeongjaedo of , , , , and from iconographic perspective, which was compared with holgi recording for the analysis of the basis and practice of mudo. Jeongjaedo delivers the most distinctive elements of the Jeongjae dance, including not only those recorded in holgi but also those not shown in it. , flower dance centering on hwajun, illustrates the dancing process of dancers’ playing, picking flowers and then dancing. is a dance based on the 2 dae and 6 dae jwaudauhyeong. It illustrates the introduction, the conclusion and the development of a dance recorded in holgi. illustrates the dance mostly performed with the buk, which depicts the dancing before and after dancers pick up the drum stick. is a dance with the abak which describes the dance after dancers pick up the abak. illustrates the dance that depicts those enjoying poguhui with gumun in the center. The same contents tend to be drawn repeatedly in jeongjaedo, but the pictures of yeoryeong and mudong are classified. Sometimes the same content is repeated in as many as 5 pieces of pictures. Jeongjaedo presents different dance structures according to different dynasties and ceremonies. It also presents the arrangements of the dancers, the directions in which they are supposed to look and different dances for respective dancers. Jeongjaedo condenses multiple contents in one piece of picture. Therefore, it tends to be complex and multifaceted. All of the jeongjae pictures follow the same style with fixed positions of the dancers. Depending on the kind of jeongjae, some jeongjaedos repeat the same content, while others depict different contents. The reason that each jeongaedo was drawn in different style is that the contents of jeongjae found in holgi are to be presented in diverse contents condensed in one piece of picture. Therefore, for a complete comprehension of holgi jeongjae, it is necessary to go through several related jeongjaedos. Jeongjaedo especially reflects well the characteristic of jeongjae, which is the performance carried out based on formation and makes up for limitations of the written records of Jeongjaemudo Holgi.

The purpose of this study is to consider implicit meanings with Panofsky’s iconographical methods. This research further seeks to objectively organize and understand a new dancer’s, (Kim Baek-Bong) intention to produce meanings and details in “Flow of Line.” Based on references, this study captured images necessary for an iconographical analysis of “Kim Baek-Bong’s Dance Performance” (on Nov. 29, 1989 at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts) and “New Dance, the Triple Layer Dance Scenes” (on March 25, 2013 at Yeak-dang of National Gugak Center). The researcher then drew the image of the line produced as the group danced in order to study the composition of Kim Baek-Bong’s “Flow of Line.” Analysis revealed that the group dance movements, formed by the dancers’ movements, was set to the ‘line’. This study also included an interview with Kim Baek-Bong, the choreographer of “Flow of Line” in order to understand the time setting and conditions of dance communities at the time of creation for “Flow of Line.” The ‘pre-iconographical description’ of “Flow of Line” was divided into the factual meanings and the expressional meanings. The former were the proscenium stage (stage), 16 female dancers (dancers), Kim Yoon Deok style Kayageum Sanjo music (music), unique movements of upper and lower body parts (movement), and white skirts and jackets (costume). The latter included a total of 41 compositions: 3 compositions from Jungmori beat, 23 compositions from Jungjungmori beat, and 15 compositions from Danmori beat. As mentioned above, in the 41 compositions, the iconographical analysis indicated that the united image was derived from sources of snow crystals, water drops, whirlpools, water drop wavelengths, moving waves, and waterfalls. They also showed images of tree rings, the sun and moon, flowers, ridges, whirlpools, silk threads from cocoons, water drop wavelengths, and other natural elements. This iconological analysis was divided into the original meanings of a nature-friendly world of art as well as circular images and the symbolic values of white-clad people and Korea’s ethnicity and unity. Thus, “Flow of Line” is the work with elegance, beauty, and contemplation about life resulting from Kim Baek-Bong’s love for nature. He created the circular images, yet Kim Baek-Bong’s “Flow of Line” is also meaningful to dance history as a new type of group dance combining Western dance styles and Korean traditional dance styles.

The findings of this study are derived from a comparison with 『Jeongjaemudoholgi』 in order to consider ㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍ and Jeongjaedos: suggested a dance of eight Yeoryeongs standing in a two-fold left and right formation. In it, the dancers on the left and right sides stretch out both of their arms while facing each other and facing south. Only one piece of it remained in Uigwae, Yeoryeongjeongjae. suggested a dance of two people for Hyeopmu moving north and partnering with each other. Four pieces have been handed down through four types of Uigwae, and all are Mudongjeongjae. offered a dance moving forward on top of the edge of Daemoban. Three pieces remained intact in three types of Uigwae, including Mudong and Yeoryeong. suggested a dance performing “Naesuyeomanoesubanhageo [Horo two people]” by moving north in the front and the rear formation with Horo two people positioned in front and Hyeopmu in the rear. Five pieces have been passed down through four types of Uigwae; three of them are Mudong, and the remaining two are Yeoryeong; their dance notations are of one kind. introduced a dance of Oemugi and Naemugi turning outwards, inwards, right and left around a boat. Eleven pieces remained in eleven types of Uigwae, all of which are Yeoryeongjeongjaei, with ten kinds of dance notations. suggested a dance of Jukganja partnering in the introduction while facing left and right in twofold left and right formations in the proceedings. Eight pieces have been passed down through eight types of Uigwae, all of which are Yeoryeongjeongjae, with dance notations consisting of two contents. introduced a dance of partnering in a five-direction formation and turning inwards, outwards, left, and right in a circular formation. Four pieces are found today in four types of Uigwae: one of them is Mudong, and the other three are Yeoryeong, with dance notations composed of four contents. contains a dance of Hyeopmu 2 people heading north in a single file, centered in and out [Oesuhanaesuyeoman, Naesuhaoesuyeoman]. Six pieces are available today in six types of Uigwae, all of which are Mudongjeongjae, with dance notations consisting of two kinds of content. Jeongjaedo refers to a solo dance of one Hyeopmu heading towards the north and northwest on top of Hwamunseok. Its standing locations on Hwamunseok vary from center, north, or south. Eleven pieces remained intact in ten types of Uigwae: two are Mudong, and nine are Yeoryeong; and their dance notations contain three kinds of contents. offered a dance of Hyeopmu with two people going north to dance in a single file. One aspect that all have in common is their holding of flowers in Oesu [Oegeosunaesubanhageo]. Three pieces are found today in two types of Uigwae; two of them are Mudong, and the other is Yeoryeong; their dance notations have been reduced to two kinds of content. is composed of a story of a crane pecking at Jidangpan and thereby letting Dongi stand up. It introduced a dance involving partnering in a single file line in the south of Jidangpan. Eight pieces have been passed down through eight types of Uigwae; all are Yeoryeongjeongjae; and they have only one type of dance notation. suggested a dance of partnering in a single file or twofold left and right formation in the case of two or four people. Dancers head north or facing each other in a single file line or encounter each other around a dancer in a fourfold left and right formation. Six pieces have been found today in nine types of Uigwae; five of them are Mudong and four of them are Yeoryeong; their dance notations are divided into nine. One to eleven pieces were contained in each Jeongjaedo, and one to two, four, five, or seven pieces had the same dance notations. In some cases, the dance notations of Mudong and Yeoryeong were the same, and the pictures of one dancer were repeated in multiple Jeongjaedos. Almost all dance notations suggested similar content, and many were proposed on one page. Those can be identified through Jeongjaedo, which were the compositions of dancers, formations, movements, directions, and locations recorded in Holgi. On the other hand, what was not documented in Holgi were supplemented by pictures, through which the researcher discovered that the arrangements of dancers varied depending on the nature of banquets. Therefore, various formations were adopted, and the centers around which dancers were partnering were the formed line itself or the dancer.
