Brief History of Goryeo

Goryeo (고려; 高麗; [ko.ɾjʌ]; 918–1392), also spelled as Koryŏ, was a Korean kingdom established in 918 by King Taejo. This kingdom later gave name to the modern exonym "Korea". It united the Later Three Kingdoms in 936 and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula until it was removed by the founder of the Joseon, Yi Seong-gye, in 1392. Goryeo expanded Korea's borders to present-day Wonsan in the northeast (936–943), the Yalu River (993) and finally almost the whole of the Korean Peninsula (1374). By the late 13th century, after nearly 30 years of warfare with the Mongols of the Yuan dynasty, Goryeo lost much of its power but retained nominal control. Although King Gongmin managed to free his kingdom from the Yuan overlordship in the mid-14th century, General Yi Seonggye revolted and overthrew King Gongyang in 1392, establishing himself as Taejo of Joseon. Gongyang was killed in 1394.

What they ate

Snack

Goryeobyeong(고려병,高麗餠)<yumilgwa,(유밀과,油蜜菓)>

Goryeobyeong is a cake made with flour, honey and sesame oil. Since ancient times, the yumilgwa has been made into a fruit shape and put on the table for a memorial ceremony instead of the fruits that why it is called yumilgwa what means "fake fruit“ in Korean. In the <<Goryeosa,>> Chungnyeorwang went to Wonnara to attend a wedding ceremony of his son and served the yumilgwa at the party. Records show that the taste was melting in the mouth and it had a great reputation. For this reason, yumilgwa were especially called Goryeobyeong in Mongolia. Since Goryeo as a Buddhist country banned killing it was not possible to hold fish for a memorial service. Instead, they put fish-shaped yumilgwa on the table. The consumption of yumilgwa was increasing so instead of yumilgwa people began to put fruits on the table. Old records also show that " yumilgwa production was prohibited" because at the time that Goryeo Dynasty was going through an era when rice was scarce, and since the ingredients of yumilgwa such as flour, oil, honey or grain syrup were rarer than rice at that time. yumilgwa became a high quality snack with a considerable cost of ingredients and consumption of sweeteners and oils in comparison to other snacks.

Hyangakjeongjae(향악정재 [鄕樂呈才]) of the Goryeo Dynasty HyanggakJungjae is a performance that include dances accompanied by the Korean traditional musical instruments and songs described below.

1. Moogo(무고(舞鼓)) It originated from the large drum, which was built with picked up raft that was floating on the beach by Yi Gon(이곤(李混)) who was banished to Gangwon(강원) Province during the king Chungnyeol (충렬왕) Dynasty of Goryeo.

The title “Dongjungjae(동동정재)” was used until October of 1449, but later in book “Akhakgeumbum(악학궤범)” the original name was dismissed and renamed to“Abak(아박(牙拍))” because the dance was tuned in the rhythm of instrument called Bak(박(拍))” , a small gourd made of ivory.

3. Mooae(무애(無㝵舞)) Mooae is known as the title of the song that Wonhyo(원효대사) sang to spread the propagation of Buddhism during the Silla(신라) Dynasty.

In the part about music of “Goryeo history book” (고려사악지(樂志)) it was written that Mooae had came from overseas, and the lyrics were Buddha’s words that maxed with dialects. It disappeared after King Sejong's death, but it was reenacted with new lyrics in 1829 (Sunjo(선조) 29).

Dangakjeongjae

Dangakjeongjae(당악정재 [唐樂呈才]) of the Goryeo Dynasty

Chinese music("Dangak(당악)" means "Chinese music") was used for all Dangakjeongjae performances. It included “Pogurak(포구락(抛球樂))’ , ‘Yeonhwadae(연화대 [蓮花臺])’, ‘Heonsundo(헌선도 (獻仙桃))’, ‘Oyangseon( 오양선 [五羊仙] )’, ‘Sooyeonjang(수연장 [壽延長])’.

Actually, Pogurak was a game where people put the wooden panel with hole called“Pogu door(포구문(抛毬門))” in the center and divided people into two groups. Then, they sang, danced and throw the ball to the other side of the Pogu door. If they succeed to throw the ball through the hole, the person called Bong-hwa(봉화(奉化)) gave a flower to scored team as a prize, and the person called Bong-pil(봉필(蓬筆)) put an ink dot on the members’ faces of team which missed the goal as a punishment. According to the book“Monggyepildam”(몽계필담 (梦溪笔谈)) of Sim Gual(심괄(沈括)) who came from Song Dynasty, pogurak was originated from Lee Sin Un(이신언)’s book “Gosa(고사(故事))”. 2. Yeonhwadae(연화대 [蓮花臺]) "Yeonhwadae" was performed with Pogurak(포구락(抛球樂) in 1123.

" Heonseondo is a dance dedicated to pay respect and wish the eternal life like the sun for the guests of honor. That is why at the performance there were a tray with peaches on the hexagonal table called Bongtak(봉탁(奉卓)). There was belief that eating at least only one peach can make you live more than thousand year. The shape of the Bongtak, hexagon, means Milky way(남두육성[南斗六星])galaxy which controls the lifespan.

The significance of Gamubeakui

HyanggakJungjae and DangakJungjae have a common historical significance and they were handed down to the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts(국립국악원 [國立國樂院]).

HyanggakJungjae’s historical significance lies in the facts that it was a new form of royal performance in the Goryeo period, and its accompaniment song was Hyanggak that contributed to the successful transmission of Hyangakjeongjae from Goryeo to Joseon. Also Hyangakjeongjae's songs contain Korean literature like " Dongdongsa(동동사(動動詞) ".

Dangjeongjae’s historical significance lies in the facts that Dangjeongjae helped for development of its accompaniment instrument called Goryeo Dangak(고려 당악), and that it helped for improvement of royal performing arts in different ways. Before Dangakjeongjae came to Goryeo’s culture from China, Hyangakjeongjae had been the only one representative performance in Goryeo. In the late Joseon, Dangjeongjae was supported by Music Institution called Gyobang(교방 [敎坊]).
