17세기 碧巖 覺性의 海印寺․華嚴寺 再建에 대한 연구

Abstract

Japan invaded Joseon at the end of the 16th century and overthrew Joseon territory and peasants for seven years (1592-1597), as well as smashed the architecture of the whole country, took away property and committed murder. As a result, the cultural affairs of the Joseon Dynasty for nearly 200 years have almost disappeared. The Buddhist system of Korea was an important military target of the Japanese army because it organized the army to save nations and peasants and defeated the Japanese army. After winning the victory to defeat the Japanese army in 7 years, the Buddhist system was put in a state where it had to pay a lot of effort to rebuild the country and reconstruct the temples. At that time, the Buddhist monks who performed the two roles excellently were the two main groups formed around Monk Cheongheo(淸虛, 1520-1604) and Monk Buhyu(浮休, 1543-1615). And the reconstruction of the Buddhist temples and the construction of the fortresses of the mountains are centered on Monk Byogam(碧巖, 1575-1660), the first disciple of Buhyu. Among them, the reconstruction of Daeungjeon Hall and Gakhwangjeon Hall of Hwaeomsa Temple, and the repair of Janggyeongpanjeon Depositories of Haeinsa Temple are the most remarkable examples of reconstruction in the 17th century architectural history of Choseon Dynasty. Because the preservation of Printing Woodblocks of the Tripitaka Koreana in Haeinsa Temple and Stone Avatamsaka Sutra(The Flower Garland Sutra) of Hwaeomsa Temple is a center point, Monk Byogam, his disciples and successors took the lead in the repair and reconstruction of the related buildings. This attempt was a major goal of the Buddhist system as important as the repair of Daeungjeon Hall and Ordination Platform of Tongdosa Temple for the protection of Jinsinsari(眞身舍利) of Tongdosa temple.
