新羅 石造浮屠와 中國 唐代 僧墓塔의 比較 硏究

Abstract

As China has gone through the era of Southern and Northern Dynasty along its path and when it reached the era of Su and Dang, building priest stupa as well as building Pagoda became general trend in building stupa. Particularly Dang had built priest stupa from various kinds of materials and those were built in different styles as well. Silla has built stone stupa influenced by such Dang’s style during the earlier of 9th century along with the prosper of Sun–Jong. However, although Silla has adapted and spread the new culture of building stone stupa, which is influenced by Dang’s buddhism, apparently researches and introductions about Dang’s priest stupa in china are in slow progress and not being studied enough. In addition, we can barely find researches on comparing or contrasting stone stupa and Dang’s priest stupa. Therefore, considering such unfortunate conditions, in the next part I have explained shortly about Dang’s priest stupa to inquire into the building backgrounds of Silla’s stone stupa and original style. Also, based on these studies I have compared and made a contrast between Silla’s stone stupa and Dang’s priest stupa.30 In comparison to Korea, China built various styles of priest stupa made of different kinds of materials and there are differences in the size and numbers of the stupa. Dang’s priest stupa’s style was strongly affected by the setting ways in creating wood–made buildings and unique style of priest stupa was developed through the process of imitating such kind of sculptures. That is why some of Dang’s priest stupa strongly resemble Silla’s stone stupa. Dang’s priest stupa in China had mainly plane rectangle shapes but gradually had more diverse shapes with various stories from a single story to higher stories. Particularly Pavilion Style Stupa is strongly alike Silla’s stone stupa Body part in terms of style since it has strong characteristic as a wood–made sculpture. Dang’s priest stupa symbolize of hoping for the good after life, which is why it is placed outside of the grounds and leave the person’s path of life as the name of the stupa. Moreover, body part has characteristics of a wood–made style sculptures well enough whereas top part is rather fancier. Silla’s stone stupa is distinctively distinguishable with Pagoda in terms of the size and style whereas Dang’s priest stupa were not built specifically in different ways. This aspect is definitely a clear difference between Silla and Dang’s stupa.
