무속 타파의 유·불 유착 사례로서 지리산성모상 훼철과 그 후 복원의 아이러니

Abstract

Mt.Jiri Sungmo which is placed in Cheonwangsa of Gyeongnam Sancheong suffered a lot from the Koryo Dynasty to this day. It was the object of Folk religion and especially Shamanism, and it was damaged from a foreign enemy, of course including the pressure of foreign religion, because it was believed as a guardian god of the country. Especially Mt.Jiri Sungmo was believed as a Queen Wisook who was a mother of Koryo Taejo and a lady maya who was a mother of Buddha, and also it is called God Tae-eul in Taoism and Muzo who gave a birth to 8-do shamans in Shamanism. In spite of various characters of Mt.Jiri Sungmo, according to records of Chosun Dynasty, one clear truth is that it was believed by shamans and locals. Confucian scholars heavily criticised about the folk religion, including shamanism. And Monk Cheonyeon who was close to Confucian scholars destroyed Mt.Jiri Sungmo placed in Cheonwangbong of Mt.Jiri . It showed the case of iconoclasm of Korea in the 16th century. In the 20th century, Mt.Jiri Sungmo had a hard time continuously. But now it is under the protection of Buddhism. The real Mt.Jiri Sungmo is placed in the temple Cheonwang, and locals and shamans made an imitation in the next village and served it. It is another situation that a folk religion is damaged by a foreign religion.
