As a result of this study, a traditional dance of Korea, especially a Court Dance, is tended to show that it is constituted by the principle of the cosmic dual forces and the Five primary substance. The motion of the dance in itself represents a system of the energy of the cosmic dual forces and the Five primary substance as like the composition signifies the concept of the Five directions. This implies meaningfully a “Harmony” which symbolizes Asian aesthetic consciousness on graceful matching in addition to that the dance in itself involves the order of the cosmos and the way of life. That is to say, beauty peculiar of a Korean traditional dance is found out in “a harmony of the sun and the moon” and “a harmony of the Five primary substance”. The energy caused by the motion of the dance, which is elegant splendidly and seems to spout out moderately, is characterized as an aesthetic structure of a harmoniously coexisted contradiction of the cosmic dual forces and the Five primary substance.
Consequently, if we teach this conception and system of the principle to our descendants, the soul of Korean dance would revive and furthermore on the creating, the circulation of the cosmic dual forces and the Five primary substance could be applicable to express bodily a stream of the energy, that is, the principle of our traditional dance.
