최치원의 풍류사상 이해와 그 기반 - 진흥왕순수비 및 『주역』 觀卦․巽卦와 관련하여

Abstract

Chi Won Choi, a great scholar of the latter part of the Shilla Dynasty, testified to the historical actuality of 'Poongryu' which is an indigenous idea of Korea people. There have been a number of interpretations of its actuality in the academic circles. Some of them include notable point of views. However, these lack clear grounds based on references. In this study, it was discussed that Chi Won Choi used definite basis including the details on the Monument of King Jinheung to testify the actuality of Poongryu. It was also stated that the term, Poongryu, is not a word generated spontaneously but has a historical background. And it was inferred that the meaning of Poongryu basically contains the 'philosophy of the wind' and the' principles of changes' described in the Guangua and Xungua of 『Zhouyi』. The Poongryu that Choi argued is somewhat different from its conventional meaning being used today. Any approaches on an affective and artistic level have limits. Unnecessarily profound interpretations will bring other problems. The Monument of King Jinheung and the Monument of Nanrang (a memorial stone with inscriptions regarding Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, established by Chi Won Choi in the Silla Dynasty) both regard the meaning of Poongryu as a political level.
