4∼5세기 『삼국사기』의 승려 및 사찰

Abstract

The object of this research tries to examine the register about 4-5C Buddhist monks and temples recorded in 『Samguksagi』. The records that was flowed in new trend of thought different from the previous comes out in 『Samguksagi』 on 4-5C. It is the content that Buddhism is transmitted to Goguryo and Baekjae from the foreign country and that is authorized from the royal household and temples were constructed. As you known, there is no 「Suknoji釋老志」(which has the theme of the Buddhism related content) in 『Samguksagi』. In addition, the author Kimbusik had very critical position about the statement of Buddhism. He recorded simplely, in case of the item related to the country or king even though it was the Buddhism related news. So, it had remained the archives in which Buddhism is handed down to three countries for the first time. Firstly, I extract and organize registers described about Goguryo, Baekjae, Silla in this book for this work. And I searched for Buddhist monks and temples of three countries of 4-5C through the comparison with the other data including the works of Choi Chi-won and 『Samgukyusa』. 『Haedonggosyengzeon』 and etc. Through the result of this process, the most of buddhist monks which is active in 4-5C could known to be in Goguryo area. It is in Goguryo area that the Buddhist temples built much overpoweringly. There were the letter used as the ink-stick called '釋加文佛弟子' on the ancient tomb mural of the Goguryeo in this time. Also there was lots of the mural showing the Buddhist view of the future life after death. On the other hand, the registers about Baekjae or Silla were so little in comparison with the Goguryo. This fact could know that Buddhism prospered at Goguryo among three Kingdom in ancient Korea in 4-5C. The Confucian scholars of the Choseon Dynasty criticized even this simple registers severely. But on the other side, we could know that Kimbusik thoughts importantly that Buddhism as the new trend of thought or advenced culture was transmitted in Ancient Korea. So Ilyeon, the author of 『Samgukyusa』 had confided in 『Samguksagi』 entirely about registers handed down the first time. I think that this is the historical meaning of these registers about Buddhism.
