당산제에 반영된 생태환경의 변화와 강(江) 문화 흔적 －나주시 공산면 상구마을 당산제를 대상으로－

Abstract

Humans live by forming a close relationship with nature. In addition, the social environment such as human-created institutions, organizations, and customs also affects human life. Changes in the natural and social environment also affect the form and content of rituals for village beliefs. This article aims to examine the changes in village community rituals according to changes in the social environment through the case of Dangsanje in Sanggu Village, Gongsan-myeon, Naju-si, and to see what 'traces' the natural environment remains in the Dangsanje. The form of rituals for the Dangsanje in Sanggu Village has been gradually changed through changes in the social environment such as Saemaul Undong, population decline, and cultural resource conversion of the Dangsanje. Despite the influence of these social environments, what has been passed down without change is to raise skate and mullet as sacrifices. The influence of the natural environment is reflected in the Dangsanje and remains as a trace. Through this, it can be assumed that the life of people who lived through the Sampo River is still being handed down. Community rituals are bound to change naturally over time. It can be seen that changes in the ecological environment inevitably change the way of life through adaptation and transformation. And, in the transformation, the appearance of adaptation remains as a 'mark'. It remains to be seen how village community rituals will adapt and change to changes in the natural environment (especially living environment) and social environment in the future.
