  • 불은 물질이 산소와 화합하여 연소하는 물리적 현상이지만 신앙적 믿음과 종교적 의례에서는 다양하게 상징화되어 문화적 암호로 쓰여온지 오래다. 그래서 불은 인간사에서 어느 것보다도 중요한 구실을 해 왔으며 오늘날 현대인들이 누리고 있는 온갖 문명도 불이 있기에 가능한 것이다. 그러나 현대인의 관념에서는 불에 대한 존엄성이 점차적으로 희박해지고 있는 게 사실이다. 그렇지만 종교 신앙적 측면에서는 아직도 불은 그 어느 것보다도 중요하게 다루어지고 있다. 특히 무속신앙과 가신신앙에서는 불에 대한 관념이 명확할 뿐만 아니라 불에 대한 활용도 옛 법에 따라 적절하게 대응하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 글에서는 무속신앙에서 불신(조왕신)이 어떠한 구실을 하고 있는지, 그리고 불이 마을신으로 모셔지는 경위는 어떠한 것인지와 더불어 가신신앙에서의 조왕그릇과 조왕동토부에 대해 알아 보고자 한다.

  • Sinjungsin Mask Play, one of Ttangseolbeop, is related to Seongjusin's life story. Sinjungsin Mask Play is a reconstruction of the story of the folk gods Seongjusin met while returning home. Seongjusin's life story proceeds in the form of Mask Play, and the monk who leads the sermon plays narration and main roles. Many believers play various roles and musicians. Sinjungsin Mask Play introduces many folk beliefs, sounds for intrigue, and talks. Sinjungsin Mask Play uses the same method of enumeration and repetition as the existing Mask Play. The repetition of a sentence or phrase plays a role in foreseeing the meaning of the context or foretelling the development of the plot to the audience. This repetition is intended to emphasize the situation of the scene and to create rhythm. Since Mask Play was exclusively for the common people, Mask Play actors use the repeating method commonly used in folk songs to form lines. This gives the audience a familiarity, effectively communicating the lines and responding to their tastes. Sinjungsin Mask Play borrowed people's way of playing for the public's mission. It inherits the dramatic forms of traditional traditional plays such as repetition of words or sentences or phrases, codification of words or sentences, borrowing of existing songs, and formal expression units. In addition, through repeated performances, believers can easily and easily learn and understand. This is the dramatic form and characteristics of Sinjungsin Mask Play. Sinjungsin Mask Play was handed down from Faith Communities and was used as a means of folk cultivation to spread illegality. Buddhism externalizes the process of accepting folk beliefs through Mask Play, and in the case of Shinto who participated directly or indirectly, they naturally acquire the belief system of Hwaeom Kyung through play. Sinjungsin Mask Play, one of Ttangseolbeop, can be said to have great value as an ICH, as well as popularization and mission.

  • "Hajaeilgi(荷齋日記)" was written by Ji Gyu-sik, a gongin of Saongwon(司饔院)'s branch, almost everyday for 20 years and 7 months from January 1st, 1891 until the leap month of June 29th, 1911. It deals with many different areas including domestic and foreign circumstances, custom, rituals, all the affairs related to the branch, and also everyday life events he did see or hear about. Particularly, Ji Gyu-sik did not belong to the yangban class, and we can hardly find diaries written by such class' people. Here, what this author pays attention to among the things written in "Hajaeilgi" is the contents about folklore. Ji Gyu-sik wrote in his "Hajaeilgi" about things related to folklore, for example, seasonal customs, folk plays, rituals, or folk beliefs that were actually practiced then as a person not belonging to the yangban class. Such diaries are rare, and its value is highly appreciated as a material, and it is meaningful in the aspects of folklore as well. Therefore, as part of the work to look into folklore found in "Hajaeilgi", this author focuses on national rituals and folk beliefs in it. The things that have been discussed earlier can be summed up as follows: About national rituals, it is sorry that it only deals with the emperor's enthronement and emperor and crown prince's birthday in garye(嘉禮); however, it is meaningful to know that the people faithfully carried out national ceremonies and celebrations then. Particularly, it is noteworthy that during the national ceremonies or celebrations, students were asked to sing the national anthem. About hyungrye(凶禮), only it deals with the court funeral rite. Aside from Minbi's funeral rite, the court funeral rite was performed properly at the right time according to the procedure like before, and also, it seems that the people fulfilled it faithfully by order of the government. Also, it can be learned from it that Japanese killed Minbi, burned the body with oil, and left the ashes behind. About folk beliefs, the branch held a memorial service at the shrine of the town regularly. The town, too, performed Gocheongsinsa each year. The money needed for the memorial service was collected from the town people differently according to their financial situations, and they prepared for jesu for the ancestral rite altogether. The memorial service was carried out in Sansindang or Bugeundang, too, and it was common that they summoned a shaman to perform a gut. The diary is valuable as material. After being a Christian, Ji Gyu-sik once tried to abolish sinsa jesa held in hoesa and get rid of saesin(賽神), that is, a gut or pudakgeori, but he had no choice but to follow the precedent. Meanwhile, it is also noteworthy that when the town suffered from floor and infectious disease, Ji Gyu-sik installed an altar in front of his house for the town's wellbeing and health, prepared for jesu including offerings and drinks, and held a memorial service to Hwangcheonhuto(皇天后土; the gods of heaven and earth) accompanied with the town people. Also, when he had any hardships in his family, Ji Gyu-sik summoned a shaman for a gut or offered a devout prayer to the mountainous god. Such shamanism or the things like worshiping Gwanseongjegun(關聖帝君) mostly in the beginning of January and telling fortunes about the year were all folk beliefs. This was very popular among the people, and it seems that it was deeply rooted in his life as well. Also, Ji Gyu-sik supported Fengshui beliefs, and it seems that it is not different from the people's general tendencies, either. As described above, "Hajaeilgi" dealing with national rituals and folk beliefs in it is valuable as material and is meaningful for research on forklore, and moreover, it is also significant in the aspects of forklore as well.

  • 사람이 다르면 인정이 다르고, 인정이 다르면 민속도 달라지기 마련이다. 불을 어떻게 인식하고, 불을 어떤 방식으로 대했는가 하는, 민족 저마다의 민속행위를 주목하는 까닭이 바로 여기에 있다. 그러나 불은 본디부터 인간에게 종속되 것이 아니었고, 오히려 인간이 함부로 다가설 수 없는 변화무쌍한 변물이었다. 그렇기에 불을 '그 어떤 것' 으로 여기고 여기에 신성을 덧붙여 숭봉하는 태도는 모든 문화에 두루 나타나는 보편적인 현상이다. 아마도 불을 얻는 데 소요되었던 노력과 그 노력의 깊이에 따른 지혜의 축적이 그만큼 길었기 때문일까. 한편으로는 숭엄한 사건을 서술하는 신화(myth)로 기억되고, 한편으로는 굳건한 신앙의 대상으로 일상의 삶에 영향을 끼치면서 규범으로 자리잡고 있다. 이를테면 원초적인 신성을 지닌 존재로서 엄중한 신격으로 숭신되기도 하고, 특별한 의례로 해마다 반복되며 규범과 도덕률로 일상을 구속하고 있다. 일상에 가까이 있되 결코 범접할 수 없는 장엄인 것이다. 몽골 유목민의 경우도 예외는 아니다. 다만 그 양상과 의례의 세부 모습이 다를 따름이다.
