Task of circling the pagoda of Waljeongsa(Woljeongsa Tabdori) is the major intangible cultural heritage with representativeness and historical meaning as a Buddhism culture, one of the Buddhism folk plays, which was firstly played after the liberation. Woljeongsa Tabdori holds significant designation importance in terms of Buddhism folklore heritage with Korean unique tradition and identity of Gangwon-do province. Temples are demonstrating Tabdori nationwide but Woljeongsa Tabdori is the unique case that systematically inherits the culture based on the designation of being intangible cultural heritage. That is why it is needed to focus on the cultural and internal value of Woljeongsa Tabdori. Tabdori is the integrated symbol of Buddhism respect and worship to the Buddha and pagoda. It is hard to presume the originality of Woljeongsa Tabdori: given the history of Woljeonsa temple, it lies into Goguryeo traditional play and Bokhui(Pagoda circling folk play) in Silla era. It fits into the courtesy of Circumambulating Stupa considering Moon in Goguryo mural, background of Odaesan Hwaeom thought/tripitaka and essence of Octagonal 9-story stone pagoda. At the first stage of Tabdori, Buddhist musical instruments such as Buddhism temple bell, singing bowl, cloud-shaped gong and wooden-fish. However, later, Samhyeon Yukgak has been added and then, Boyeom and Bakpaljeongjinga were singing: it could be interpreted that it was a pure Buddhist ceremony but it has become to have traditional aspect and been spread to the public. The origin of Woljeongsa Tabdori is related to the explanation of Circumambulating Stupa that experiences the glory of the ending ceremony. When a temple has a rite, the Buddhists make an offering to the Buddha. At that time, Buddhist prayer, sermon and chant are followed. After the rite, the Buddhists are circling the pagoda with the monks while praying for Buddhist charity and making their own wishes. It prays not only going after death to Nirvana of the one but also national prosperity and the welfare of the people for peaceful reign. As the temple holds bigger rites, many Buddhists gather and the Tabdori was a success. The scene of circling the pagoda and making own wishes in line with the Buddhist sermon was solemn. The idea on changes and convergence of Woljeongsa Tabdori requires strategic inheritance to promote the transmission while maintaining the paragon and purpose of designating the cultural heritage and reviving its identity. Korean Tabdori was held in Buddha's birthday in April and the mid-autumn day. Tabdori is a memorial service type Buddhist ceremony that once the monk holds the Buddhist rosary, circles the pagoda and sings the great mind and charity of the Buddha, Buddhists follow the step, lighting the lantern, circling the pagoda and praying for the gentle and easy death. Transmission education of the successor, diversified approach of the expert's advice and discourse on the revival of the origin should be reinforced in phases.

This study focuses on reviewing the concepts, roles, meanings, and values ascribed to females and femininity as observable in Daesoon thought and in Feminist theory. Especially with regards to the process of achieving gender equality through the resolution of grievance for females in Daesoon thought, the study draws positive and desirable roles within this practice by specifically examining good deeds performed by females and practical roles that females play. By doing so, this study finds a way to go from the world of mutual contention to the world of resolving grievances that have arisen due to the oppression of yin and the encouragement of yang. First wave feminism can be summarized as the inclination for equality. In Daesoon thought concerning this and from standpoint of females, the most ideal image of woman is one of a female Perfected Being who is unified with Dao and has thereby achieved perfection of her humanity apart from gender. In the Later World (Hucheon), people can get results based on their hard work regardless of gender. The enlightenment of Dao is such that it is not important to distinguish between males and females. Both of them can be 'unified with dao'. Therefore, despite the similarity, the concepts of equality in first wave feminism and the resolution of grievance for women have differences in terms of their ideal vision of equality. The representative claim in second wave feminism is 'consideration' and, in this context, 'consideration' has pronounced feminine characteristics. In Daesoon thought, this sense of 'consideration' is related to the concept of 'Jamojijeong', a term that refers to motherly affection. However, it is not simply a virtue of females and mothers, but rather the value of 'Yin (pronounced in Sino-Korean as 'Eum')' called 'Eumdeok (hidden virtue)'. Jamojijeong means that people should behave in a modest way and this helps them achieve their aims. It is also closely related with 'femininity' in the sense of Eum. One of processes spreading it socially is to propagate virtue (Podeok) and if harmony is achieved through it, then 'right yin and right yang' emerge as the precondition by which Pyeong Do (Pacification of Tao) can be realized. Furthermore, because the aspect of Pyeong is a cosmic process, it has distinct differences from the social aims of feminism and the worldly aims of other numerous ideologies. In proceeding from the Former World (Seoncheon), an era of mutual contention, to the Later World, an era of mutual beneficence, it is essential to emphasize the connection between 'harmony (Hwa)' and 'propagating virtue' as the starting point from which the perspective of Daesoon thought aiming at the principle of 'Pyeong' and 'Hwa' emerges. Herein one can discover that the realization of Daesoon thought is based on the vitalization of the feminine value of 'Jamojijeong'.

Heungseon Daewonwang Lee Ha-eung was the father of King Gojong, who appointed as Daewongun in December 1863. On February 2, 1898, after the death of Heungseon Daewongun, he was buried in the Asodang in Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, where he normally enjoyed. On August 24, 1907, he was promoted to Daewonwang. After being promoted to Daewonwang, the Asodang tomb was relocated to Daedeok-dong, Paju, and the tomb was promoted to Won. In the Wonchim space promoted to the facilities suitable for the original were created, and through this, it was possible to analyze the characteristics of the Wonchim and the Wonchim space of the tomb on the Heungwon. In addition, by comparing and analyzing the spatial composition between Myo and Won, it was possible to derive the spatial composition characteristics of the Joseon Dynasty Won(園), and Myo(墓). Looking at the research results derived through the analysis of 『Heungwon Cheonbong Registration』, tomb of Heungseon Daewongun, located in Asodang, Mapo-gu, was promoted to Heungseon Daewonwang, and was relocated as Jangneung in Uncheon-ri, Paju, the former tomb of King Injo. The promoted of tomb was also promoted from Myo to Won. In addition, the storehouses and facilities used in Mapo Asodang were moved to Uncheon-ri, Paju, and reused. Newly constructed monuments, Biseog, Chimgak, Jemulgo, Subokcheong, Hongsalmun, and Wells according to the promoted of the Won. It was confirmed that there is a difference in the spatial composition of Won and Myo when looking at the difference in the composition of the ornament objects and the facility.

뇌법은 도교의 중요한 법술로서 당송(唐宋)이래 매우 흥했는데, 북송의 임영소 등이 신소파(神霄派)를 개창한 이후에 도교 법문을 대표하는 영역이 되었다. 그로부터 각종의 뇌법이 천하에 성행하였고, 도교에는 새로운 뇌신들이 거듭 나타나게 되었다. 그 대표적인 것이 뇌법신앙의 구진천존(九宸天尊)인데, 이 아홉 천존들은 도교의 최고신인 삼청성조(三清聖祖)의 통치 하에 있는 것으로 간주되었다. 『옥추보경』은 북송 때 탄생하였는데 이 경전이 세상에 널리 발간되어 구천응원뇌성보화천존에 대한 신앙이 형성된 것은 남송 시기 백옥섬(白玉蟾) 이후이다. 『옥추보경』은 구천응원뇌성보화천존의 법문(法門)을 선양하기 위한 방책으로 천존의 성호를 부를 것을 권장한다. 법문을 염송하는 것은 매우 쉽고도 간단하여 누구나 할 수 있었으므로 사회적으로 크게 확대되었다. 특히 『봉신연의』와 『서유기』와 같은 문예소설에 뇌성보화천존이 등장함으로 해서, 민중들은 뇌성보화천존을 더욱 널리 숭배하게 되었다. 현재도 중국의 민간에서 이 신격에 대한 신앙은 매우 보편적이다. 구천응원뇌성보화천존은 옥청진왕(玉清真王)의 화신(化身)이다. 뇌성보화천존은 시방에 그 형체를 나타내고, 중생들을 고뇌로부터 구제하고 이끈다. 36천을 주재할 권능이 있으며, 자비로운 모습으로 모든 겁에 응한다. 또 뇌성보화천존의 주변에는 뇌공(雷公), 우사(雨師), 풍백(風伯)을 비롯한 십대원사(十大元帥)와 등백온원사(鄧伯溫元帥), 신한신원사(辛漢臣元帥) 등의 신장들이 보인다. 이러한 신장들은 양송(兩宋) 시대에 출현하였으며 대다수가 뇌부의 제신들이다. 뇌성보화천존 신앙을 구현하기 위한 재초 의식에는 천지 제신(諸神)이 강림하기를 청하는 뇌정사과(雷霆謝過)와 죄를 뉘우치고 복을 비는 참의(懺儀) 또는 참회문식(懺悔文式) 등이 있다. 이런 법식들은 매우 전문적인 것이고, 일반인들에게는 법문을 염송하는 간편한 방법인 십자천경법(十字天經法)이 널리 퍼졌다. 즉 늘 경건한 마음으로 천존의 성호를 오랫동안 염송하게 되면 공덕원만(功德圓滿)의 경지에 도달할 수 있다는 것이다. 『옥추보경』은 민중의 세계에 깊은 영향을 끼치고 광범위하게 알려져 그 주해나 주석본만도 이십여 종에 이르렀고 송원 이래의 핵심적인 도교 문헌의 하나로 자리매김하였다. 『옥추보경』은 일본과 한국 등지에도 급속히 전파되었다. 한국에는 고려시대에 신소뇌법(神霄雷法)이 전해졌는데, 특히 고려 예종 13년(1118년) 7월에 중국 도교 의학이 고려에 전승되었을 때의 도교 의학이 『옥추보경』을 위주로 한 치료법이었다. 그리고 그 흔적은 조선의 허준이 주편한 『동의보감』에서도 찾아볼 수 있다. 조선의 민간에서는 많은 사람들이 『옥추보경』을 송독하였고 거기에 수록된 부록(符籙)을 운용하였으며 이로써 병을 몰아내고 잡귀를 물리쳐 생명을 지키기를 바랐다. 현대 한국에서는 구천응원뇌성보화천존강성상제에 대한 신앙이 크게 성행하고 있으니, 그 종단이 바로 대순진리회이다. 대순진리회는 증산 성사께서 인세에 강림하시기 전에 구천대원조화주신이며, 화천 후 구천응원뇌성보화천존상제의 위에 임하였다고 신앙한다. 즉 증산이 천존상제의 화신이라 믿는 것이다. 이것과는 좀 다르지만, 인간이 신의 화신이 되는 신성한 변화를 뇌법에서는 '변신(變神)'이라고 부른다. 변신은 내련(內煉)을 행할 때나 시법(施法)시에 도인들이 필히 진입해야 할 특이한 정신 상태로서, 자아의 존재를 망각하고 신진(神真)으로 변화하여 인신합일(人神合一)을 이루는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 변신은 대순진리회의 수도 목적인 도통과도 한편으로는 유사한 면이 있다고 생각된다. 대순진리회가 목적하는 지상신선실현이 의미하는 것은, 사람이 도를 깨닫는 노력을 통해 신의 경지에 도달하는 것이 아니라 인간의 본질과 천성을 회복하여 이에 상응하는 신과 합일하는 것이라는 점에서 뇌법의 변신과 유사한 점이 있다고 할 것이며 이에 대해서는 추후 연구과제로 남겨둔다.

梁啓超 actively introduced Byron to the Chinese people with an interest in the heroic aspects of his work for the freedom and independence of the small country and his related works. The fourth edition of the political novel 「新中國未來記」, published in January 13, 1903, is to be translated and inserted by Byron's poem 「Greek mourning」. Through this poem, Byron is celebrated for his achievements in free spirit, anti-imperialism spirit and heroic example. The poem is a compilation and introduction of only the parts of democracy, independence, independence and freedom from Byron's original 「The Isles of Greece」. Byron is a romantic poet who has created many works that represent rebellious people against society without restraint. So as a whole, 'Byronic Hero', which appeared in Byron's work, is portrayed as a 'personal hero' who seeks freedom, raising a number of problems due to the release of Kaesong by individuals alienated due to social structural problems in the industrial age of the West and unreasonable social structure. On the other hand, to save China from the brink of ruin, Zheng emphasizes ethnic heroism that emphasizes merit rather than virtue. Beyond the personal hero who pursued the free spirit of Byron, 梁啓超 wished for the birth of a national hero who suited the political, economic, social, cultural and environmental soil of China at that time. These examples of national heroes, whether from east to west, are all heroes who appear in 「意大利建國三傑傳」, 「羅蘭夫人傳」 and 「譚嗣同傳」, who are willing to die, who sacrifice themselves for the nation and are national heroes.

Purpose: Aster tataricus (AT) is one of the Asteraceae perennial herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. The herb contains various bioactive substances, such as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and phenolic compounds in the roots, and exhibits a range of effects including anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. This study compared the immunomodulatory effects of ethanol and water extracts of whole AT, except the roots, and analyzed the molecular mechanisms for the regulatory effects on cytokine secretion from THP-1 cells. Methods: The effects of AT extract on the cell viability and proliferation of THP-1 cells were analyzed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 method. The concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the cell culture supernatant of the AT-treated THP-1 cells were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The protein levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (IκBα), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in the cell lysates were determined by western blotting. Results: The water extract and the ethanol extract of AT did not affect the cell viability, and increased the proliferation of THP-1 cells significantly compared to the vehicle. The water extract increased the secretion of IL-1β from THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, but the ethanol extract had no effect. The expression of COX-2 and iNOS protein and the phosphorylation of MAPK and Akt were induced in AT-treated cells. In addition, IκBα was degraded by AT in a concentration-dependent manner. IL-1β secretion by AT was reduced by extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitors, while TNF-α secretion was decreased by inhibitors of ERK, p38 MAPK, and JNK. Interestingly, the p38 MAPK inhibitor increased the production of IL-1β by AT further. Conclusion: The water extract of the above-ground parts of AT contains immunomodulatory bioactive substances that stimulate immune cells through the MAPK signaling pathway.

Traditionally, the origin of the Han River has been thought as Utongsu(于筒水) and Geumgangyeon(金剛淵). As both of these places are located in Odaesan(五臺山) the $Ma{\tilde{n}}ju{\acute{s}}ri$(文殊) Holy Place, we can well assume the possibility of Buddhist influence on them. In the Buddhist understanding on the origin of the Han River, what we should first notice are 'the recognition on the water of Buddhism' and 'the recognition on the river in Indian culture.' With the reviews, we may come to see by what standpoint these could become existed, if there were Buddhist influences on the recognition of Han River's origin. Based on these Buddhist and Indo-cultural view points, the author tries to make more dearly the definition of Utongsu and Geumgangyeon that are recognized as the origin of the Han River. Through it, we can check the relation of Buddhism and Indian culture in their influence on the concepts of Utongsu and Geumgangyeon. In Indian culture, what is noticed in relation with the origin of the river is Anavatapta, in which the sacredness of the water named the 8 virtuous waters is recorded. It is the materialistic sacredness which can be compared with the sacred feature of Utongsu that "its color and taste are far greater than other waters, and so is its weight. ${\cdots}$ Its color and taste do not change even after it flows into the Han River." Furthermore, both of Anavatapta and Utongsu have the same symbolism of dragon that the highest dragon king and a divine dragon were told to live in respective lakes. This similar structure found in the recognition of two rivers' origin may become an evidence of Buddhist influence on the recognition of the Han River's origin. The recognition of the Han River's origin is based on the traditional culture. Therefore, it may be natural that there is the Buddhist culture in it. At the same time, some viewpoints of Chinese culture can be found in it. So, the traditional recognition on the Han River's origin comprises diversity and complexity of Indian and Chinese cultures together.

Jongmyo Jeryeak [Royal ancestral shrine music] is a precious cultural heritage, which has been played till now since two great kings Sejong and Sejo who made it. But going through Japanese occupation, Jongmyo Jeryeak has been changed into a music totally different from the music the two kings intended. And the changed Jongmyo Jeryeak is being played these days. The original Jongmyo Jeryeak, which was made by the two kings, remains in old music scores. Therefore there is a need to investigate the differences between the original and current Jongmyo Jeryeak by interpreting the old music scores and recovering the original. This paper recovers the origianl Jongmyo Jeryeak from the music score Daeakhubo and compares it with the current Jongmyo Jeryeak. The results are as follows. The origianl Jongmyo Jeryeak is a set of common songs made with Hyangak and Gochiak to sing the verses which extol royal ancestors' virtues. All of the musical elements are matched with the verses so that the meaning of the verses is transmitted naturally. Jangdan musical time musical structure are matched with the structure of verses, and the musical motif of the songs is matched with the meaning of the verses. The music, which is easy and expresses the meaning of the verses well, demonstrates King Sejong's talent as a musician. The current Jongmyo Jeryeak is a set of special songs in which Sigimsae is emphasized rather than the meaning of the verses. The melodies are broken into pieces inconsistently, the meaningless word 'ae' is added thoughtlessly, and Jangdan musical time musical structure are unrelated to the verses. Therefore the meaning of the verses is not transmitted at all. These changes, which were made during the period of Japanese occupation, seem to desecrate the verses of the original songs. The melodies, which are broken into pieces inconsistently, revive into the current mysterious ritual music through Sigimsae. But in order to be a proper ritual music, some corrections have to be made to convey the meaning of the verses.
