『三國遺事』 「孝善」篇 分析 硏究

Abstract

This article examined 『Hyoseon』tale in 『Samguk Yusa』 focusing on filial piety which is the most essential ethic for human beings. ‘Jinjeong Tale’ shows both of the filial piety to the parents and the goodness to Buddha simultaneously as can be known bythe expression ‘Hyoseon Ssangmi’, which illustrates a high level of filial piety where performing filial piety means accumulating goodness and accumulating goodness means performing filial piety. The filial piety of ‘Daesung’, like ‘Jinjeong’, is focused on support and alms. The tales of ‘Daesung’ and ‘Jinjeong’ are a filial piety tale in which they not only supported their mothers but also did what their Buddhist mothers wanted them to do. In addition, the epic of 『Hyoseon』 aims at the structure of ‘sanctity of the subject → ordeal and challenge → help from the helper → realization of filial piety’ ‘Sonsun Mae-A Tale’has the conclusion that ‘The God acknowledges the dutiful son and the acts of filial piety touches the God and makes the God help’as other tales in 『Hyoseon』 chapter. Therefore, burying the grandson whom his mother likes is only auxiliary in the whole context. It is possible that a vice can be transferred into a virtue due to the belief that knowing who is a dutiful son, the God would not let him commit such an extreme action, and such story can become an instructive tale to wake up the filial piety. Commenting on the regret only supporting the parents materially without making them feel comfortable, ‘Binnyeo Yangmo Tale’ is opening our eyes to the fact that it is important in filial piety to make our parents feel comfortable as well as to support them materially. In addition, considering the fact that they donated the house to make it a temple later and named it as ‘Yangjon Temple’, ‘Binnyeo Yangmo Tale’ must have been related to Buddhism. The common structure of the filial piety with self-sacrifice consists of such stages as ‘dutiful sons (daughters)do their utmost to support their parents →sacrifices their most important thing (usually part of their body, their life) → something miraculous happens → they come to happy ending and do their filial piety to their parents’. Looking at the organic relationship with the whole structure, the meaning of arranging 「Hyoseon」 chapter is to emphasize the Buddhist ideas through the practical ethics of ‘Filial Piety’ in reality to realize the Buddhist ideal world by the head and tail relationship with 「Giyi」chapter which tries to differentiate itself from other tales with the two elements of ‘super humanity’ and ‘divinity’. Ilyeon arranged 『Hyoseon』in a way that the Buddhist influence to touch people can be embodied in the people’s life beyond the filial piety at necessity level.
