The Jongmyo Daeje Ceremony, Seoul

Botaepyeong-ji-mu dance

The Ilmu dance performed at the Jongmyo Jerye rituals; this part is Botaepyeong-ji-mu or Munmu, performed with the music of Botaepyeong (Preservation of Great Peace), a dance to praise the civil achievements of former kings, with dancers holding a Yak (a three-holed bamboo flute) in the left hand and a Jeok (a pheasant-feather tasseled wooden bar) in the right hand. 11 pieces of the Botaepyeong music were composed personally by King Sejong (1418–1450) to pray for national security and prosperity. King Sejo later made some revisions to complete the music.
