On the other hand, the 9 volumes of Akhakgwebeon 樂學軌範compiled by Sung Hyun 成俔were offered to the king SeongJong 成宗of the Joseon dynasty 朝鮮王朝 in 1493. These two compilations share a common aim, that is the restoration of old court music and dance, also adding references to popular music and folk instruments. They also include a large number of illustrations of instruments and dancersʼ costumes. While the Yueshu exceeds in quantity, the Akhakgwebeon excels in detail.  Succeeding court music was composed of a set of instruments prescribed since the Han dynasty 漢朝. Therefore, as Korean admired Chinese culture from ancient times, they often highly considered their instruments as of Chinese origin. In 1116, Bei Song Hui Zong donated a full set of court music instruments to the kingdom of Goryeo 高麗. Then, Chinese court musicians came to Goryeo to teach the way to play these instruments, while Goryeo musicians came to the capital of Beisong to learn court music. Since then, Chinese dynasties donated instruments several times and peoples of Goryeo and Joseon accepted them with great honor. We can therefore admit that ritual court music is from Chinese origin. On another hand, Japanese court music included artistic music from the Tang dynasty and instruments and compositions imported from various districts of the Silk Road.  Nowadays, the only ways to identify ancient Chinese instruments are these illustrations from the Yueshu and the Akhakgwebeon. Of course, one can also consult the relics from about a thousand years ago at Shousouin 正倉院(Japanese royal museum), instruments still played in Japanese court music, and tangible heritage such as old instruments and archeological specimens excavated in recent years.  However, the illustrations included in the Yueshu and the Akhakgwebeon add very important pieces of information such as the ways of playing, the quality of the material, the different kinds of plectrums, the places and occasions of the performances, musical articles in classical Chinese and histories including references to Goryeo and Joseon. Although history books on China also include references to music, their descriptions are not concrete and remain obscure.  Thanks to the Yueshu and the Akhakgwebeon, it is possible to have hints on where the instruments were made, why some of their shapes and timbres have changed, that some have disappeared, and so on. These facts make both Yueshu and Akhakgwebeon precious research materials., Departmental Bulletin Paper}, pages = {19--41}, title = {中国北宋の『楽書』と李朝朝鮮の『楽学軌範』における楽器初探 -絃鳴楽器の絵図を主として-}, year = {2020} }
