===Korean Janggu Dance===

◦ ====Origin and Development====
+
(Login required.)
−
The origin of the Janggu Dance can be traced back to the narrow-waisted drum from India. Around the 4th century AD, this musical instrument was introduced to the Central Plains of China via the Silk Road. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was adopted in the Nine and Ten Grand Drum Dances, and the Goryeo Music of the Korean ethnic group was included in the renowned Ten Great Musical Forms. After the Song Dynasty, the zhanggu (a type of narrow-waisted drum) gradually disappeared in the Central Plains of China but continued to be passed down among the Korean people, and was renamed the Janggu. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, some Koreans migrated from the Korean Peninsula to China, bringing the Janggu Dance with them. After a long period of development, it gradually evolved into the Korean Janggu Dance with distinct Chinese characteristics. In the early 20th century, the Janggu Dance separated from the Nongak Dance (farmers’ music dance) as an independent performance form. The Korean people perform this dance at every festival and celebration. In the 1950s, Korean dancers carefully adapted the Janggu Dance, which was staged for the first time, thus expanding its influence.

It has a history of over a thousand years. The prototype of its core prop, the Janggu, is the narrow-waisted drum originating from India. In the 4th century AD, this instrument was introduced to the Central Plains of China through the Silk Road and incorporated into the imperial court music and dance system during the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the Korean Goryeo Music, it was known as the “dutanggu” and “maoyuanggu”, etc. (Yanbian Border Villages · Historical and Cultural Digital Exhibition Platform, Intangible Cultural Heritage: Korean Janggu Dance)

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the migration of some Korean people to China, the Janggu Dance was introduced as well. It gradually integrated with the production, life, and folk culture of the Chinese Korean ethnic group, forming a dance form with distinct Chinese local characteristics. This dance is a combination of playing, singing, and dancing. The core prop, the Janggu, has a unique shape with thick two ends and a thin middle, and the two drumheads produce different pitches. The dancer slings the Janggu over the shoulder, holds a drumstick in the right hand to strike the drum, and uses the left hand to pat the drumhead, creating rich and varied rhythms.

The Janggu can produce staggered high and low tones. The dancer slings the drum over the shoulder, strikes it with a drumstick in the right hand, and pats the drumhead with fingers of the left hand, creating a variety of rich rhythms. The performance style is divided into two categories: the soft-style Janggu dance and the vigorous-style Janggu dance. The soft-style Janggu dance features gentle and stretching movements, mostly expressing lyrical artistic conception; the vigorous-style Janggu dance has bold and powerful movements, often incorporating elements of labor scenes such as rice transplanting and harvesting. The performance forms include solo dance, duet dance, and group dance. The rhythm of the dance generally starts slow and gradually speeds up; during the climax, the dancer performs skillful movements such as continuous spinning, and ends abruptly, which is highly artistically appealing. The accompanying instruments include suona horn, bamboo flute, gayageum, etc., often paired with classic Korean folk songs such as Arirang. The dance movements are characterized by shoulder-raising, shoulder-stretching, and magpie steps, with various dance steps including crane steps and shuffle steps, fully demonstrating the unique charm of Korean dance. Today, through the construction of intangible cultural heritage inheritance bases, the popularization of campus teaching, and domestic and international cultural exchange performances, the Janggu Dance continues to thrive and has become an important artistic symbol showcasing the cultural charm of the Korean ethnic group.

Movement Characteristics: The dance mainly features hand movements with various forms, which can be summarized into four characteristics: twisting, springing, squatting, and steadying. Dancers strike the drum while dancing in accordance with fixed drumbeat rhythms, emphasizing the coordination between movements and the unity of rhythm, and using the drum to create various shapes. The dance steps are characterized by “dodging, turning, spinning and leaping” and “squatting, soaring, standing and jumping”. When transitioning between movements such as “bowing the waist” and “bending the knees”, dancers must pass through with a “twisted torso”. Every dancing posture maintains the feature of “curved body and twisted torso”, combining hardness and softness with agile steps.

Music Accompaniment: The metrical form of Korean folk songs belongs to the triple-beat system. Triple time and compound time such as 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, and 18/8 composed of triple beats occupy an important position in the songs. The Janggu Dance is accompanied by various wind and percussion instruments such as suona horn, bamboo flute, gong and drum, sheng and xiao. The basic drumbeat pattern is “dong-dong, dong, dong-dong, dong”. The tempo and intensity of the drumbeats coordinate with the dance movements, achieving a perfect integration of drum and dance. The dance features a rich variety of tunes, including Arirang, Doraji, and Yangsan Road.

From the perspective of artistic and aesthetic value, integrating playing, dancing, and music, the Janggu Dance achieves a high degree of coordination between human, drum, and music. Its dance movements combining hardness and softness with varied drumbeats make it a representative of Korean dance art, enriching the ecology of Chinese folk dance. From the perspective of ethnic cohesion value, as a core performance form in Korean festivals and rituals, its brisk rhythms and stretching movements reflect the ethnic spirit of diligence and optimism, serving as an important bond for maintaining ethnic identity and sense of belonging. Finally, from the perspective of cultural inheritance and exchange value, its development history witnesses cross-regional cultural integration. As a national intangible cultural heritage, it realizes intergenerational inheritance through inheritance bases and campus teaching; meanwhile, it serves as a bridge for cultural exchange between China and foreign countries through domestic and international performances.
