新羅 骨品制度 成立期의 思想的 基盤

Abstract

The 'Bond-Rank(骨品)' System of Shilla was legally completed with the distribution of the law in the period of King 'Bub-heung(法興王)' While the system gave a privilege to a small number of the ruling class, it considerably restricted the large number of the ruled class. So Ideology was essential to rationalize the system. Therefore, The group of three surnames(3姓), consisted of royal family, pursued superior status as a supreme ruling class with their ideology of the direct descendants of the 'Son of Heaven(天降子)' and their direct performing of sacrificial rite for the 'the shrine of their ancestor(始祖廟).' The chief of the six villages (六村長) - the aristocratic - also occupied a high position as a direct descendant of the son of Heaven in their pedigree. On the other hand, the System distinguished between 'people of capital(王京民)' and 'people of non-capital(非王京民).' So the former had both 'discrimination of descent(族制的 差別)' and 'discrimination of space(空間的 差別)' from the latter. They rationalized 'discrimination of descent' from the latter, while declaring them as 'the son of Heaven.' Also they rationalized 'discrimination of area' by making Capital(王京地) into the religiously sacred space. Afterwards, they sought the establishment of royal power of Kim's family and the unification of religious ideology by constructing a divine palace(神宮) in which the 'founder of the family(誕降始祖)' was placed as a main god. Although the divine palace had a limitation in its origin of ideology, it constantly enhanced the religious dignity of royal household which distinguished them from other lower aristocrats in view of practical politics.
