A Study on Dancing garments in Yanbian

중국 연변 조선족의 무용복

This research was conducted to investigate the characteristics of chosun people s dancing garments in Yanbian. The results were as follows : Yanbian dancing garments were generally based on Korean traditional royal-dancing garments or daily dress such as a wonsam, a bokgun, a kwaeja, a chunlip, a chogori, a bachi, and a chima. However, many parts of the dancing garments were transformed or recreated for combative, lively, energetic, and temperate dancing-motions, which represented the ideology of socialism. The transforms or recreations were found in a narrow sleeve of chogori, removal of collar and gorm in chogori, transformed kwaeja and vest, bachi, and flared chima, etc. Chosun people's dancing garments in Yanbin were mainly influenced by those of North Korea. There was great similarity between dancing garments of these two areas. The similarity could result from the acculuration of these two cultures.
