이 글에서는 하회탈춤이 다시 복원되는 구체적인 양상과, 이러한 과정 속에서 하회탈춤과 안동문화가 이미지 결합을 이루어내고, 나아가 한국문화의 표상으로 자리잡게 되는 과정을 살펴보았다. 탈춤을 중심으로 볼 때, 20세기는 단절과 복원이 동시에 이루어진 시기라고 할 수 있다. 짧은 시간적 단절이었음에도 복원 자체가 그리 쉽지 않았던 상황은 근대를 맞이하면서 직면하게 된 일제강점기와 급격한 외래문화의 유입, 우리 전통문화에 대한 열등의식 때문이었다. 이러한 딜레마를 지역 차원에서 적극적인 노력으로 돌파구를 마련한 사례 중 하나가 바로 하회탈춤이라고 하겠다. 양반의 도시 이미지와 탈춤 도시의 이미지가 이렇게 적극적으로 공존할 수 있는 현대의 안동문화는 다양화된 문화 재생산의 양상을 잘 보여주는 것이다.

Hahoe talchoom(mask dance drama) is the most representative traditional folk drama in Korea. This drama performed in the ritual of Hahoe village, that is, ByulSin-Gut. ByulSin-Gut is the special ritual of village in local society as like Hahoe. But the present day, this traditional drama is performed in the artificial stage as a selected or inventive folk art. In this article, I researched a invention process of Hahoe talchoom concretely and a harmonious image combination of Andong culture and Hahoe talchoom, moreover these several elements make Hahoe talchoom and Andong culture the symbol of Korean culture. This social meaning is concerned with the revival of new or inventive folk art. The original shape of Hahoe talchoom is not the modified form in the shape of mordern mass cultural society as like nowadays, but the operated performance in the village ritual spontaneously, based on the tradition of folk drama. The tradition has been continuing, changing and creating. Hahoe talchoom also has cultural meaning as the invention of tradition. There is a restoration in the performance form and it appears in the making of value. The most important thing is not a economic value of the national intangible cultural properties or a cultural goods, but purposive value of a culture itself that make higher quality of human life and local culture. Because a economic wealth also could have meanings when it invest in a enjoyment of high quality human life. Therefore the national intangible cultural properties as Hahoe talchoom is connected with a image of local area as Andong. These connection and harmony of image make the brand value of local area more increase. Conclusionally if we try to cognize a current handing down phase of selected or inventive tradition and a changing phase of local area image, we can find the best handing down direction of folk art.
