  • In this thesis, I examined the mental, philosophical aspects and the aesthetic sense of our ancestors through the study of the patterns pictured in the mural paintings of Koguryo dynasty's old tomb. To view the mode of construction in Koguryo dynasty from present angle, the detailed analysis of the patterns was done. As a result, I could fully understand the formative consciousness of our nation. 1. I defined the process of transition of the mural paintings by putting some 70 mural aintings into the form of a diagram. 2. The cultural aspects of the mural paintings in Koguryo dynasty were characterized by the fusion of our primitive religion and Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism which were introduced from China. From this fact, I could inferred that Koguryo people were giving off the strong desire for the faith by means of the mural paintings. Further more I found that configuration of the patterns such as religious elements. 3. The types of the patterns were classified into four types, this is, geometric type, natural type, cultural type and abstract type, Among these types, geometric type and natural type were nonsymbolic in nature but became cultured and abstracted in course of time. cultural pattern and abstract pattern got the symbolic meaning in the long run. Of all the constitution of the patterns represented in the mural paintings such as repeat constitution, left and right symmetric constitution, top and bottom symmetric constitution and rotary symmetric constitution, the left and right symmetric constitution was mainly used and some monotony of left and right symmetric constitution. The analysis of motif which was got from the mode of the patterns showed that the mixing of symbolic and nonsymbolic patterns made it possible to regard the separate symbol as compound in nonsymbolic patterns and the combination between nonsymbolic patterns ensured the understanding of other patterns in certain cases. Our ancestors made great efforts to transmit certain meaning symbolically. Also to heighten the symbolism, they drew the meangless patterns firstly and then appended meaning to those patterns secondly. Furthermore, they offered the background to the patterns comblined with symbolism, so that meaning transmission was clarified at last. As mentioned above, the patterns shown in the mural paintings of Koguryo dynasty's old tomb were characterized by natural beauty. And natural beauty was found out clearly in the form and constitution of the patterns. Therefore I concluded that our nation's religious, philosophical tradition was acted on the patterns strongly.

  • The purpose of this study was illumination of the stage costume by applying the study of a subject of human expression, which establishes identity of dramatic characters. This study was conducted by referring a variety of theses, an extensive national and international literature. The color symbolism that is depicted in Shakespeare‘s work manifests the transition period of old days, which was influenced by the Renaissance and the Religious Reformation. And color preferences and the meanings I attach to them in his play, definitely reveal the Middle Ages Christian way of thinking which was obsessively dominated their mind. I also determine that the color preferences and use in Elizabeth Era also distinctively separate the social status, which were also influenced by its social conditions. Besides this, colors that were depicted in Shakespeare's work also shown many similarities from Italian Commedia dell‘arte, which were in vogue all over the Europe. Customary color symbolisms which from natural color experiences were also applied in "The Tempest". "The Tempest" was presented on the first day of November in 1611 for the first time. Following this, many plays and films have been produced in foreign countries and Korea. With an analysis of "The Tempest", costume designs for Miranda and Ferdinanad were illustrated at the end. The costumes for Miranda and Ferdinand were mainly considered to express pure love and vigorous youth of two lovers, symbolizing the image of the theme love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

  • 대부분의 증산교단에서는 증산을 미륵불의 영체(靈體)나 화신(化身)으로 믿는다. 그런데 대순진리회에서는 미륵불의 운수가 5만년 동안 지속될 것이며, 미륵불상의 금(金)이 곧 후천 가을을 '상징'한다고 주장한다. 대순진리회의 금강산 토성수련도장에는 관촉사의 미륵불과 비슷한 모습의 미륵불상이 있는데, 금산사의 미륵불상과는 다른 '상징'을 보여준다. 금산사의 미륵불상이 증산과 그의 종통을 이은 정산이라는 두 인물을 상징하는 모심이라면 보다 보편적인 입장에서의 신행(信行)을 상징하는 미륵불상이 토성수련도장을 통해 제시된 것이다. 금산사의 미륵불상이 종통문제를 다룬다면 금강산 토성수련도장의 미륵불상은 민중구원과 도통군자의 출현을 예언하는 문제와 연결된다. 그리고 대순사상에 따르면 미륵불은 더 이상 가까운 장래에 오실 미래불이 아니라 이미 지상에 몸을 나투신 현재불이다. 증산이 이 땅에 내려오심으로 인해 미륵불의 현현이 실제로 이루어졌다는 믿음이다. 향후 증산의 천지공사를 구체적으로 사회에서 실행하고 실천하여 미륵신앙의 참된 신행이 이루어져 미륵불이 지향하는 이상사회를 만들어가야 할 것이다.

  • The Buddhist cave temple carved into the rock provides a large space for the ritual in general in which a structure of Stupa is built in the center of the space purely for religious worship empty of Sarira, and the temple is formed around this Stupa. Relief-Stupa of the cave temple indicates the similar shape that of Relief-religious worship of flat land temple. However, there appears a small difference in representation since the background of formation of the cave temple differs in that of flat land temple. Specially, Caitya Stupa of currently existing cave temples have been damaged to lose of their original shape only possible to be analyzed the stylistic development through Relief-Stupa from which the characteristic of Stupa could be understood. The early cave temple could be characterized with a balanced structure consists of upturn bowl, steeple stone with simple drum & Hamikawasnagae, in which it appears strongly the detail factor characteristics of drum & steeple of having system with Caitya Stupa. In the post cave temple, the subject of worship moved to statue of Buddha due to the influence of Gandhara, Mathura art which reduced the importance of Stupa. This illustrates in Relief-stupa as well the style change as well as changes in detail factor. The sculpture appeared at the limited location either the wall of Caitya shrine or pillar in vihara cave with stronger decorative meaning. Contrast to the Relief Stupa of early flat land temples or the cave temples mentioned above sculptured with symbolism, however, the post cave temple showed the relief structure based on the plan of flat plan.

  • 금산사 대장전은 대장경을 봉안하는 건물이라는 명칭을 가지고 있지만 경전은 없으며, 석가모니삼존을 봉안하는 불전이다. 금산사에서 전하는 기록에 의하면 이 건물은 목탑에 불상과 경전을 봉안하던 습관 때문에 점차 불전으로 변한 건물로 알려져 있다. 탑은 사리신앙을 대표하는 구조물임에도 대장전으로 변하였지만 대장경조차 봉안하지 않고 있는 셈이다. 이러한 변화는 금산사 대장전이 상당히 복합적인 성격의 건물이라는 점을 상징하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이 건물의 변화과정과 신앙적 복합성을 통해 조선후기 교학적 열풍 속에서 사리신앙, 경전신앙의 상관을 접근해 보고자 한다.

  • Historically, commerce was a significant factor in the proliferation and development of Buddhism, which is especially manifest in the cult of the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. Iconographic and textual evidence testifies that maritime trade on the Indian Ocean played a fundamental role in the formation of Avalokiteśvara worship. The sea was also a major conduit through which elements of the Avalokiteśvara faith were transmitted from India through China to Korea and Japan, the easternmost ends of the Silk Road. These elements include Avalokiteśvara's role as a maritime savior, oceanic symbolism, and the concept of the bodhisattva's worldly abode, Potalaka. Cultic sites dedicated to maritime safety were established at important transport hubs in East Asia. Due to China's strategic location on the Silk Road, as well as its cultural influence, the most important cultic sites were founded in China, first on the Shandong Peninsula, then in the southern Jiangnan region, in present-day Zhejiang Province. Especially notable is the role that Korean seafarers played in this process by assisting monks in search of the Dharma, establishing temples, and transmitting religious beliefs across the ocean. The present study focuses on the role that maritime figures played in the cultural exchanges between Korea, China, and Japan examined through Avalokiteśvara faith. By this, it aims to demonstrate how Korean seafarers inherited and continued the traditional relationship between commerce and Buddhism, while extending the Maritime Silk Road to the "East Asian Mediterranean."

  • 종교상징에서 '문장(紋章, emblem)'은 '상징적 표지(標識, symbol mark)'로서 다른 대상이나 종교를 구별하게 한다. 또한 특정 종교를 확정하고 인식할 수 있게 하는 표상적(表象的) 혹은 개념적 특성을 가지게 한다. 한국의 대표적 민족 종단인 대순진리회 역시 상징이 되는 문장이 존재한다. 하지만 이 상징에 대한 공식 명칭은 없으며, 이 문장의 도안이 도기(道旗)로 제작되어 알려져 있다. 이 문장의 도안은 1978년 5월 11일 제작되었고, 이후 같은 해 10월 20일에 공식 게양되어 지금에 이르고 있다. 도기에 있는 대순진리회의 문장은 종단의 상징적 표지로서 종단과 관련한 여러 디자인에 활용되고 있지만, 이에 관한 학술 연구는 현재까지 이루어지지 않았다. 그리하여 본 논문은 기존의 도기 관련 자료들을 비교 정리하고, 나아가 현시점에서 대순진리회의 문장과 이 문장을 담고 있는 도기의 상징과 의미를 어떻게 바라보아야 할 것인지 대하여 언급하고자 한다. 물론 이는 상징이 가지는 다의성(多意性)으로 인한, 문장의 의미에 관한 하나의 관점을 제안하고자 하는 것이다. 본 글에서 대순, 삼원(三圓), 사대(四大), 중앙의 도안을 각각 제시하였는데, 이렇게 상정할 때 기존의 도기 해석보다 더 풍부한 상징성을 가질 수 있고, 그에 따른 대순사상적 의미를 도출해 낼 수 있음을 살펴보았다. 이러한 시도로 인하여 기존과는 구별되는 상징과 의의를 살펴보자면, 첫째로 문장의 중심을 이루는 원을 지원(地圓)이나 인원(人圓)이 아닌 대순의 중심이라고 언급하여, 천지인의 중심과 그 근본을 이루는 무극과 태극의 상징성을 도출해 내었다는 것이다. 둘째는 중앙에서 토(土)의 상징을 인원과 분리해 그 중화와 조화의 상징을 사대절로 드러내었다. 셋째는 원에 있는 돌기의 방향성을 통해 그 의미를 도출한 것이다.
