Abstract

The Formation of Seodongyo Folklore and Its Background of Thought Seodongyo Folklore arrangged King Mu to the object as opposed to Princess Sunhwa to the subject. According to it, Princess Sunhwa licked King Mu into shape of politic and cultural hero by the rhetoric of conversion. The folklore consists of well-known motives of oral-tradition. But its characters' position is differ from typical roles of the subject and object. So we can take it as the author's aim. By this device the author intended to put his contemporary history into an imagination from his view. The author characterizeed historicall figures to a form of the view of the Shilla nation. For this view, the conversion also describe the connection of both countries (Paekjae and Shilla) as harmony differ from the real history. The connection of subject and object in Seodongyo Folklore reflected the view of Shilla about the religious belief of Maitreya(彌勒信仰). Shilla had accepted it from Paekjae in the 7th century when 'the war of unification' is about to start. Paekjae had deepened the understanding the religious belief of Maitreyaof since King Sung. Though Mireuksa(彌勒寺) was established successfully. in the end Shilla got the lead. due to the social and politic reasons. Shilla was very careful about the Symbolism of Mireuksa(彌勒寺), so they made the other background of the Symbolism. So through the folklore, Shilla is the subject and Paekjae is the object unlike the history.
