An inquiry was conducted into the distribution of jeongjae呈才dance movements by holgi笏記, mudong舞童, yeoryoeng女伶jeongjae, jeongjae and dance movement, on the basis of jeongjaemudoholgi呈才舞圖笏記from which the entity of court jeongjae in the late Yi Dynasty era is able to be identified. The results were revealed, as follows:
Holgi includes in itself 44 kinds of jeongjaes and many different dance movements are evenly distributed in jeongjaes performed with sajahangjang獅子項莊 holgi, gapo甲午oijinyeon外進宴holgi, sinchuk辛丑oijinyeon holgi, sinchuk jinyeon 進宴holgi, sinchuk jinyeonheejak進宴會酌holgi, sinchuk jinchan進饌holgi, sinchuk jinchan ikilheejak翌日會酌holgi, mudong holgi, yeoryeong holgi, and so on. An analysis by holgi shows that there are two kinds of jeongjaes; one is jeongjaes with no change in dance movements, and the other is jeongjaes with differences of dance movements. Furthermore, dance movement changes are demarcated into partial changes, partial omissions, and total changes of dance movements.
A comparison by yeoryeong and mudong jeongjae indicates different cases: the same contents between mudong and mudong and yeoryeong and yeoryeong jeongjae; and different contents between mudong and mudong jeongjae, yeoryeong and yeoryeong jeongjae, and yeoryeong and mudong jeongjae. Differences of the contents point out partial changes in dance movements, partial omissions of dance movements, and total changes of dance movements, where no clear-cut distinction is made between mudong and yeoryeong but some differences are found in the use of yisu gojeo and palsu yimu.
A scrutinization by jeongjae and movement reveals that practical dance movements used in jeongjaes that utilize specific jeongjae terms depend upon the same movements but figurative terms emphasizing the entire expression are used at the same time and dance instruments are added to dance movements.
As aforementioned, dance movements in jeongjae in the late Yi Dynasty era through an analysis of jeongjaemudoholgies elucidate that different dance movements used in most of different jeongjaes coexist depending upon the kinds of banquets for which they are performed, irrespective of their yeoryeong and mudong jeongjaes.
