일인 관학자들의 단군신화의 불가조작설과 그 비판

Abstract

This study reviewed and critically examined the manipulation theory by Buddhist monks of Dangun(檀君) myths, which were raised by Japanese official scholars around the 20th century. Earlier, they argued that Dangun was an ancient Japanese god　Susanoo(素戔鳴尊), with the aim of promoting the same ancestors. There was criticism by Japanese scholars, but it distorted the existence of Dangun. Theier argument pointed out Buddhist monks Ilyeon(一然) as the subject of manipulation and manipulation, owing to the fact that even Joseon Confucian historians said that they could not believe the Dangun myth. Next, Japanese scholars denied the fact that Dangun myths are not seen in Chinese history books and that Confucian scholars of Joseon also can not ridiculous and believe various myths of ancient Korea. In particular, Naka Michiyo(那珂通世) said that Dangun's Wang-Geom was the old name of Pyongyang, Wang-Heom, which was operated by Wang-Geom. However, Unlike their claims, Chinese history books had Wang-Geom(王儉) of the person and Wang-Heom(王險) of the place are written by applying the tabular notation. The letter 'wang' is written as a dictation of the king which means the king. The word 'geom' was written as a negative reading. The Wang- Geom meant king as a person from the standpoint of Gojoseon. In other words, it was 'Wang-Geom' for people, and the royal castle where the king resides was marked as 'Wang-Heom'. Before the appearance of Wiman, the existence of the Wang-Geom was already being conveyed, and Confucian historians in Korea were also aware of Buddhist historians. Until now, the title of ‘Im-Geum(임금)’ is used in Korea. In recent studies, Dangun myth was recognized at the time of Gojoseon, which is in the same context as the monks of the Goryeo period could not fabricate its myths.
