A Study on Andan Dance by Choi Seung-hee

<b>English Abstract:</b>  <br>There are many misconceptions about Subak (a martial art) that has been passed down since ancient times, such as the fact that its actual form cannot be confirmed now.<br><br>Obviously, the fact that Subak has been handed down even today while retaining its old appearance is that a plurality of artisans received Subak from the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese colonial period without any personal connection, and that it has been linked regionally as a culture of Gaeseong and Hamgyeong Province. It is being confirmed from the above documents, testimonies and actual actors.<br><br>In other words, Subak, an ancient martial art, was transferred from Gaegyeong to Hanyang (Seoul) after the fall of Goryeo and the founding of Joseon.<br><br>It is clear that the Subak (a martial art) was performed as a dance of the soldiers.<br><br>And it has been expanded and reproduced in the Japanese colonial period dancer Choi Seung-hee and the present day North Korean and Chinese Korean-Chinese dance circles.<br><br>What I am pointing out is not just explaining Subak, dance, Choi Seung-hee, and Andan Dance.<br><br>The intangible culture is clearly different from the tangible.<br><br>It is a product that is transmitted through complex links such as time, region, and human relationships.<br><br>Therefore, it is correct to approach the intangible differently from the tangible.<br><br>The Andan Dance of Chosun-Chinese in North Korea and China that is handed down today is that of Choi Seung-hui, and Choi Seung-hui's is based on the Subak dance and the Subak dance that dates back to the Joseon Dynasty and before Goryeo.<br><br>It is narrow-minded to distinguish between Subak-martiality and Subak dance-dance only embryologically or purposefully.<br><br>These are all things that can be found in the same culture, Subak (culture), and cannot be found outside of another Subak.
