Taepyeongmu is a Korean dance with the function of wishing a great peace for the country. Its exact origin is unknown, but certain style of the present was composed by Hahn Seongjun (hangul: 한성준; hanja: 韓成俊; 1874–1941), an outstanding master of Korean dance in the beginning of last century. There are three assumptions regarding the origin of Taepyeongmu. One is a court dance occasionally performed by kings during the Joseon dynasty. Therefore, the costumes used by the dancers are similar to the gwanbok (hangul: 관복; literally "official clothing") formerly worn by Korea's kings and queens.[1]
Taepyeongmu reflects the aesthetic principle of inner dynamics in the stillness, which is the essence of Korean traditional dance. https://www.accu.or.jp/ich/en/arts/A_KOR15.html
