신라의 산천제사와 진흥왕 순수비 입석 목적의 연관성 - 북한산비를 중심으로 살펴본 巡狩행적에서의 祀-

Abstract

Main issue related to purpose of establishing Jinheung’s Sunsu Memorial Stones is assertion told ‘monument of territory expansion’. But many problems related to this are being pointed out. Especially, it is pointed out that Memorial Stones made to be read is located in halfway up the mountain where its readability is poor. It is noteworthy that Bukhan mountain stele, Mawoonryeong stele, Hwangchoryeng stele etc. are found out in halfway up the mountain except for Chang-nyoung stele. This is location selection which is rare in Korean history. So, this means that purpose of establishing Jinheung’s Sunsu Memorial Stones should be investigated, giving careful attention on geographical characteristics. From examining content of the Memorial Stones, it could be known through names of followers for a security squad for King (隨駕人名) described on end part of the Stones that people to play a role of memorial services were in attendance on a King. Bukhan mountain with Bukhan mountain stele was a place where Baekje royal family held memorial service with sacred meaning several times before King Jinheung occupied the area. It means that Jinheung’s visiting to such place in person was one of very important deeds in the process of Sunsu(巡狩). Accordingly, characteristic of ‘mountain’s location should be investigated under relationship with ‘the rites for mountain and stream’ which was unique in Silla. In such a place, memorial services would be held by Local powerful Gentry continuously. To control this, royal family in Silla made such memorial services be included to national memorial services. Accordingly, through meaning of such the rites for mountain and stream, it is guessed that the rites for Bukhan mountain newly occupied in King Jinheung reign would be the rites for mountain and stream. Through this, public sentiment was settled in Hangang and Hamgyeongdo areas where influences of Local Gentry were strong through the rites for mountain and stream while the rites would be held as part of centralization policy to include Local Gentry into central organization in Silla. It is interpreted in the process that Jinheung’s Sunsu Memorial Stones is a product of political thoughts of royal family in Silla then times, which played a role to reflect symbolism that Local Gentry is included to Silla.
