摘要

Part One locates the foundation of Yin-Yang philosophy in its Chinese context and demonstrate its continuing impact, direct and indirect, upon the Korean cultural sphere. The introduction deals with the historical backgrounds of Yin-Yang theory within the Chinese philosophical framework, the multi-structural elements related to other cultural areas as well as those intellectual schools that have traditionally been leaders in artistic phenomena. It then traces the impact of Yin-Yang thought within the cultural sphere of traditional Korea.;The first and second chapters contain supporting materials from written as well as oral sources which serve to develop a probable evolution of the P'ansori tradition (with a side glance at comparable Chinese and Japanese narrative arts). Chapter One develops the hypothesis that the P'ansori tradition developed from other performing genres and its music developed from acculturation with an earlier stage of ethnic migration into the Korean peninsula. Socio-economic determining factors are adduced to illuminate the inception and development of P'ansori.;Chapter two introduces the primary sources and their interpretations in conjunction with the genealogy of P'ansori; and a literary analysis of the textual devices of the Mme. Pak, Nok-Ju version of the "Song of Hungbo". This includes the analysis and categorization of all the songs in the "Song of Hungbo". Chapter Three is a demonstration and analytical study of the Yin-Yang functions as the underlying principle of the rhythmic and melodic modes.;The final chapter of the First Part really links to introduction where the background developed there, is applied to the theoretical complexity of the subject both as ideology and a functional part of musical theory. Unlike Western art music theory which usually requires a logical a-priori, Yin-Yang as applied in music theory is based on centuries of accumulated archetypes which reflect the essence of the Eastern mode of superlogical interpretation absorbing the utmost human expression into the art of the cosmic voice, the P'ansori.;Part Two is a transcription of the music of the Mine. Pak, Nok-Ju version of the "Song of Hungbo" together with a detailed romanization and English translation of the text.
