Akgongcheong Related Materials (set), Yeosu

The Akgongcheong (樂工廳, also called Sincheong or Jaeincheong) was an institution within Joseon-period government offices responsible for music and performance; it provided musical instruction and carried out official duties at government functions. The Yeosu Akgongcheong was established in 1939 and appears to be the successor to the Chwibang (吹房, wind-instrument office) attached to the Jeolla Left Naval Headquarters in the Joseon period; it has been passed down as an organisation closely linked to the development of cultural and artistic history in the Yeosu region. The Akgongcheong materials comprise two seonsaengan registers recording earlier members, including the Mujin-year (1928) Seonsaengan; the Akgongcheong Suhyeoseo (樂工廳樹惠序, 1939); and four wooden plaques, including the Mujin-year Akgongcheong Dongban Ildong plaque [commemorating a donation] — a very rare and academically valuable set of Akgongcheong materials.
