몽골의 찰현악기 야트갈릭(ятгалиг)에 대한 재고(再考)

A Reconsideration of Yatgalig(ятгалиг) as a Bowed Stringed Zither in Mongolia

Yatgalig(ятгалиг, 押琴, 亚琴, 軋箏), which is a string instrument in Mongolia, is described as a bowed stringed zither with 7 strings or 10 strings by Mongolian scholars, but does not exist. As this study is a reconsideration on precedents and instrument types in Yatgalig as Mongolian instrument, it surveyed and researched into musical instrument kinds of yatag(ятга, 雅托噶, 蒙古箏) in Mongolia and Mongols in China. As a result, its record was found between Mongolia and Mongols in China even up to the early 20th century. There was a discussion that Yatgalig as a bowed stringed zither in Mongol is the musical instrument in the same kinds of China s yazheng(牙箏 or 軋筝) and Korea s Ajaeng(牙箏). This musical instrument was now disconnected a transmission in China and Mongol except Korea, which is succeeding to court music in Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮王朝). As its factor is caused by a social historical convulsion, it results from a historical context in Mongolia and China, which had suppressed Buddhism with being disappeared the imperial family or the nobility. A bowed stringed zither in zither type like Ajaeng(Korean bowed stringed zither) is existing and being transmitted uniquely in Korea out of Asia. But Mongol s Yatgalig and China s yazheng(牙箏) vanished due to the common notion dubbed sacred Buddhist instrument in people amidst a social historical upheaval and to a cause called court instrument.
