<심청전> 이본에 나타난 ‘화주승 시주 제안’의 유형과 변모 양상

Abstract

This study examined the transformation aspect and the type of ‘A Buddhist monk's offering suggestion’ appeared in different version of <Shimcheongjeon>. His offering suggestion is compromised of two parts; recommending donation and making a wish. These parts don't appear in the same way as other different versions of <Shimcheongjeon>. On that basis, his offering suggestion can be divided in four types. The first type, farther-daughter meeting, gives the contents of praying that blind farther can see his daughter in face. The second is expiation induction type, which shows the praying of departing from a sin of previous life. The third, achievement of wishes type, is involved that a monk hopes for a blessing. The last one called miraculous efficacy type presents that monk encourages donation, emphasizing Buddha's clairvoyant. These classes of offering suggestion are changed in various way by passing down. Firstly, an aspect of offering, a feature of invoking a blessing in detail, is being accentuated gradually. Secondly, content of making a wish is secularized in later generations. Lastly, the offering process is getting substandard, as a offering suggestion is changed secularly.
