  • The respective history of the Chinese Ancient Dynasties from the era of the ancient Emperors to the revolutionary era of Yin-Zhou殷周 was described in the Rongchengshi容成氏, one of the texts in Shanghai Bowuguan zang Zhanguo Chuzhushu(II)上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書(二) discovered in 1994 at an antique market in Hong Kong. Drawn from the historical explanations expressed in it, the anonymous author's own views on history could be observed as largely being composed of 'resignation'禪讓, 'usurpation'簒奪, and 'banishment/smite'放伐. Following the advent of the recently excavated bamboo slips of Rongchengshi, a careful reconsideration is urgently needed to the established interpretation on the origin of the ritual of resignation in the relevant academic circles. Because it shows us that the ritual of resignation as a way of the succession, judging from my analysis, was already realized by Nine Emperors('Rongchengshi', Zunlushi尊盧氏, Hexushi赫胥氏, Gaoxinshi高辛氏, Cangjieshi倉頡氏, Xuanyuanshi軒轅氏, Shennongshi神農氏, 渾沌氏, and Baoxishi包羲氏 and maybe the more) before the era of 'Yao-Shun'堯舜. Accordingly, the aforementioned fact, which has never been elaborated in the previous texts including the first Chinese historiography Shiji史記, is the only peculiar feature to the Rongchengshi itself. Thus, a simple but empirically important question could be raised here: Was this way of description an exceptional case, even as unaccepted in Warring States Period at that time? If then, the Rongchengshi could not but help being evaluated merely as a buried historical texts, without any influence on the ancient Chinese, along with its author. The Chu bamboo slips Tangyu zhi dao唐虞之道 from Guodian Chujian郭店 excavated in 1993, however, has a very similar content to the Rongchengshi in relevance to the historical existence of the ritual of resignation. From the sentence, expressed in Tangyu zhi dao, that "the sudden rise of 'Six Emperors'六帝 was due to the practice of resignation like the period of Yao-Shun", it could be easily presumed that the 'Six Emperors' was closely connected to the 'Nine Emperors' and maybe the more at that time. Comparing with the related extant literary texts and the excavated materials in a vigorous way, in this paper, I explore four significant questions from a more critical stand to the conventional studies. First of all, I explicate the distinctiveness of the Rongchengshi as an academically very precious materials. Secondly, and closely related to the above, I evaluate its status or significance in the history of the Chinese ancient thoughts. And thirdly, I make an endeavor to trace back to the date of its transcription. Finally, and the most crucially, I attempt to show what Schools it was originated from and what connections it had with the Schools in the acient China. In sum, some concluding remarks, having somewhat insightful and significant implications for the further studies in these issues, could be drawn from my exploration. Viewing from the historical perspective of thoughts, at first, the legend of Ancient Dynasty's Succession before Yao-Shun Era in the Rongchengshi had some interactions directly and closely with Zhangzi莊子, Muzi墨子, Guanzi管子, Xunzi荀子 and Tangyu zhi dao. Also in doing search for the unification in a transitional epoch from the late to the end of the Warring States period, the political stand of Shi士 and Ke客 was reflected in it as well as in the Tangyu zhi dao because they actively wanted to suggest the most appropriate model of the Emperor or the idealistic succession process and political realms.

  • 7~8세기에 중국 불교는 가장 융성했고 주요한 종파들이 등장해 각기 다른 길을 갔다. 이러한 사실은 잇따라 저술된 여러 고승전과 그 체재의 성격 변화를 통해서도 드러났다. 6세기 초, 혜교(慧皎)는 중국에 불교가 전래된 이후의 역사를 담은 『고승전(高僧傳)』을 편찬했다. 이때 십과(十科)라는 체재를 마련했는데, 645년에 도선(道宣)은 이 십과를 기본틀로 삼아 『속고승전(續高僧傳)』을 편찬했다. 그러나 십과의 일부를 수정하고 보완함으로써 십과를 역사서에 걸맞은 체재로서 정형화했다. 『속고승전』 이후에는 십과를 변형한 체재를 갖춘 고승전들이 편찬되었다. 법장(法藏)은 『화엄경전기』(690년?)를 저술하면서 십과로 구성했으나, 과목들의 명칭과 의미가 화엄철학을 강조하는 쪽으로 크게 변했다. 이어 혜상(惠詳)은 『홍찬법화전(弘贊法華傳)』(706년?)을 편찬하면서 『고승전』과 『속고승전』의 십과를 바탕으로 새롭게 변형한 팔과(八科)를 갖추었고, 승상(僧詳)은 『화엄경전기』의 십과에 두 과목을 새로 추가한 십이과(十二科) 체재의 『법화전기(法華傳記)』(750년?)를 편찬했다. 두 고승전의 체재는 철학보다 신앙에 방점을 찍었다. 선종에서도 8세기 초부터 고승전이 잇달아 편찬되었다. 『전법보기(傳法寶紀)』(713년?), 『능가사자기(楞伽師資記)』(713년?), 『역대법보기(歷代法寶記)』(774년), 『보림전(寶林傳)』(801년) 등이 그것이다. 그런데 네 고승전의 체재는 이전과 전혀 달랐다. 어떠한 과목도 설정하지 않고, 스승에서 제자로 이어지는 계보를 세워 서술했다. 이는 선종이 경전에 의거하지 않고 수행자가 스스로 깨닫는 것을 요체로 하기 때문이다. 그리고 처음에는 중국의 조사들만 입전하다가 『보림전』에 이르러서는 붓다 및 가섭 이하 27명의 조사들을 계보에 포함해 역사화했다. 이 허구적인 계보는 선종이 번성하면서 종파적 우월성과 정통성을 확보할 필요에 따른 것이었다.
