Story 46. “Khukhe Bukha”, the “Blue Cow”, the hometown of “Barga Baatar”, the “So-nori Gut,Cow Masked Shaman Exorcism” of Pyeongsan

I will introduce another interesting fact. “Khukhe Bukha”, who met while walking along the shore of Lake Baikal, the Asuykhan udagan (shaman, 무당, 巫堂), which was interpreted as “blue cow” in Mongolian. However, in Goguryeo-Balhae, it is interpreted as “Keo-si Bogo (Geol-si ‘eldest’, Geol-si Mukri, Malgal)”.

Also, “Bodan” in the Buryat name of Bu-ke Bukha’s wife, “Bodan Khatan”, means “shaman” in Malgal. Their son, “Koridoi,” is interpreted as “Goryeo,” and he is also the founder of the “Korras” lineage, one of the three main branches of the Konggrat clan in <Jipsa집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>. This “Korras” is “Goryeo Na clan=Hapranro clan=Galajeon clan=Goryeo Nara clan=Korirardai.”

The ancestor of the three branches of the Konggrat clan, including this Korras lineage, is none other than “Pyeongju monk Geumhaeng (平州僧 今幸)” in <History of Goryeo>. The “Konggrat clan (Qowm-i Qongrat)”, whose founder is otherwise called the “Pyeongsan clan (平山派)” and “Geum (=) clan.” However, as if by coincidence, the father of “Koridoi”, “Balhae-Makhadol (靺鞨薩, Malgalsal)-Daesang-Rang”, or “Pyeongju Monk Geumhaeng (平州僧 金幸)”, the great-grandfather of “Blue Cow, Khu’khe Bukhah”, lived in Pyeongsan, Hwanghae-do, a region famous for “So-noreumgut, Cow Masked Shaman Ritual Dancing (Exorcism).

If so, the father of “Koridoi”, “Khu’khe Bukhah”, also means “Geolga Bogo” and also means “Blue Cow”, which is a triple meaning. In other words, it cannot be unrelated to the main character “Cow” in Pyeongsan’s “So-noreumgut, Cow Masked Shaman Ritual Dancing (Exorcism)”

The 'Hwanghae-do Pyeongsan Sonoreumgut, Cow Masked Shaman Ritual Dancing(Exorcism).' , a ritual and play praying for abundance and fertility, refers to a play in which a cow is decorated and played in the Chilseongjeseokgori, a Gyeosingut in the Pyeongsan region of Hwanghae-do, to pray for abundance, prosperity, and fertility, such as a good harvest, business prosperity, and descendants' prosperity.

 "Kuke Buka (Geolga Bogo, Blue Cow)", who is also related to the Pyeongsan Sonoreumgut, Cow Masked Shaman Ritual Dancing, became the husband of the Oirad-Buryad shaman "Asuykhan" and the father of "Koridoi." In the end, the fact that the name of the founder of the three Buryat tribes, “Kuke Buka (Blue Cow),” is related to the Pyeongsan Sonoreumgut, Cow Masked Shaman Ritual Dancing, is enough to say that their ancestors are from “our (Goryeo=Balhae) Pyeongju” as mentioned in <the Goryeosa,Goryeo History>.

With this, it is now possible to reconnect the genealogy that was cut off 1,100 years ago in the traditions and “genealogy” of the Buryat tribe. The “Kori-Tumad Bu (Goryeo-Jumongbu)”, which appears as a tribe of the three Buryat tribes in the <Secret History of the Mongols> and the tribe of Alan Gow and his father “Kori-Radi Mergen” in the Korya-Buryat traditions such as the <History of the Mongol-Buryads of Selenge>, is the “Kori-Buryat tribe”. The founder of this tribe called “Kori-Tumad Bu” or “Kori-Buryat tribe” is “Korras” in the <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>, “Kori-Rardai Mergen” in the <Mongol Secret History>, and “Kori Mergen” or “Koryo-Odoi” in Buryat tradition.

This slightly unfamiliar name is actually a familiar word in Malgal, “Goryeo-ssi.” Also, his name, which is written with slightly different pronunciations in each historical book, is actually the same person, “Korras=Korra-Rardai Mergen=Kori Mergen=Koryo-Odoi=Goryeo-ssi.” The tribe name collectively called the clan tribes created by each of the 11 sons of this “Korras” is “Korras tribe” in the <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>, “Kori-Tumad Bu” in the <Mongol Secret History>, and “Kori-Buryat tribe” in Buryat tradition. <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> the Western history books call the “Korras tribe”, and the father of “Korras”, “Misar Uluk”, is “Barga Baatar Taisang Noyon” in Buryat tradition, and this latter is the grandson of Bohwalri, the younger brother of Hambo, the founder of the Jin Dynasty in <Geumsa,Jin Dynasty History>. This genealogy is Bohwalri → Kongliut → Misar Uluk = Barga Baatar Taisang Noyon → Korras → Alan Koa.

The Goguryeo-Malgal name of “Barga Baatar Taisang Noyon” is “Balhae Makhadol Daesang Rang”, and this person’s son is “Korras = Kori Mergen = Koryoodoi”, the father of Alan Kowa. Let’s look at the 11 sons of this Korras and the only daughter Alan Kowa in the genealogy of Daeyabal (大野勃), the founder of the second royal line of Balhae.

Then, the “Kori-Buryat 11 clans” is the story that the three Buryat tribes of today were created in the 9th generation of Daeyabal. As a result of our research, we have finally discovered the origin of their tribe that the Buryats themselves could not find. The “Three Buryat Tribes” are the “Kori-Buryat Tribe,” the direct ancestors of Genghis Khan, and the two collateral ancestors, the Ehired and Bolagad Buryat tribes.

The historical truth that they are descendants of people who crossed over from our land today has now been revealed. In other words, they are true blood relatives and brother tribes of our Malgal-Goguryeo people, that is, the Joseon people and the Korean people. The 11 brothers who formed one of these three tribes, the “Kori-Buryat Tribe,” or the “Khoras Tribe,” and their only sister, Alan Gowa, are the 10th generation descendants of the world conqueror Genghis Khan.

 The following text is a record of the Pyeongsan Sonoreum Gut (Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing,Exorcism), translated from the Korean Folk Encyclopedia.

 The Hwanghae-do Pyeongsan Sonoreum Gut (Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing,Exorcism) is performed as a Sonoreum Gut following the Jeseok (帝釋) street in Gyeongsanggut. The gut(exorcism playing) stage is moved from the porch to the yard. In the yard, the Palseonnyeo ( eight fairies from the heaven,八仙女) play is performed first. A cloth representing the eight rainbows that the Palseonnyeo(Eight Fairies) rides down is hung, and under it is the place where the Palseonnyeo(Eight Fairies) comes down and bathes, so a large water jar is filled with water and eight bowls are floated. This symbolizes the Palseonnyeo  (Eight Fairies) coming down from the sky, bathing, blessing people, and ascending to heaven.

When the Sonoreum Gut (Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing) begins, a message from the Jade Emperor is first said and a blank sheet of paper is presented to Jeseok. Jeseok reads it and sings a sasaul in a taryeong tone, and the servants receive the last sasaul as a mansu-baegi(the recital of a shaman to another shaman). The story is sung as a song about the story of how he descended to earth under the command of the Jade Emperor, gave birth to humans, and founded Joseon.

Indra dances on the ground and bows, and informs the Jade Emperor that he has safely arrived in Joseon. In this way, the heavenly play ends and the earthly play begins. At this time, a coachman wearing a jacket and a hat enters, leading a mother cow, and a calf follows. Indra shares jokes with the coachman and sings songs. Indra, who is the god of agriculture, the god of birth, and the god of longevity, plays the role of the coachman, leading the cow and plowing the field, while Aemi Bodhisattva sows seeds, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva weeds, and Shennong supervises the farming. It is not only an agricultural ritual gut that teaches the techniques of taming and leading cattle and how to fit a plow to a plow, but also a play where Jesak grinds grain to prepare food for humans and tames the land of a house to bring fortune and blessings to the household. He also consecrates a baby as a mountain god. After teaching farming methods to uncivilized humans and bestowing blessings, he ends by ascending to heaven with the servants brought from heaven. In this way, this play shows the transition from an agricultural ritual gut to a play. Pyeongsan Sonoreumgut (Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing) is performed at the end of Jesakgeori, the middle part of the large gut consisting of fifteen sections.

The order of the ritual is as follows: Shincheongullim - Dangsan (堂山) maji and Seongsu geori - Chogamang (Chobujeong) geori - Chilseong geori - Jeseok geori - Sonoreumgut - Seongjugut - Jangsu geori (riding a pair of oxen and jumping on a swing) - Tasal geori - Daegam geori - Ancestor geori - Teoju geori - Malmyeong geori - Hunting geori - Madanggut (the order of the ritual held on April 19, 1987). This order of Sonoreumgut(Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing) is also the same as the Hwanghae-do Pyeongsan Sonoreumgut(Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing). Looking at the costumes of the characters, Jeseok wears a kasaya (traditional Korean ceremonial garment) and wears a prayer bead, the coachman wears a jacket and pants with a hat, Aemibosal wears a skirt and jacket with a towel and carries a basket on his waist. Jijangbosal wears a skirt and jacket and holds a hoe.

Shinnong wears a hat, a robe, and holds a book. The mother cow and calf hold a cow's head made of paper and turn over their heads to cover themselves with a deokseok. The mobilized Mansin is composed of six people, as well as the Palseonnyeo, six people who clean the land, and seven people who grind the millstones, for a total of 33 people. The music is shaman music, consisting of three instruments: janggu, jing, and je (jeotdae). This ritual usually begins at sunset and continues until dawn. One thing to note is that after the Sonoreum ritual ends, they ride on a pair of jakdu and swing on a swing in Jangsu Street to drive away all evil spirits. The only person who stands on the jakdu blade and swings is Lee Seonbi Mansin, the holder of the Hwanghae-do Pyeongsan Sonoreum(Cow Mask Shaman Ritual Dancing) ritual in the country.
