오대산의 신효거사信孝居士 자료에 대한 분석

Abstract

Among the records related to Odaesan, the story on Sinhyo(信孝) is important enough to constitute an independent section, but it is noteworthy because it shows a lot of heterogeneous contents. In particular, despite being a record on a Buddhist monk, it emphasizes the Confucian hyo(filial virtue) and talks about the crane(鶴) related to Taoism, which are very unusual. Due to the confusion of such data, there have been few reviews of Sinhyo. This paper is to examine the characteristics and validity of the data on Sinhyo. Through this, we can see that Sinhyo is the one who is directly related to Woljeongsa(月精寺) Temple as Bocheon(寶川) and Hyomyeong(孝明) are to Sangwonsa(上院寺). Though they are currently united into Odaesan, it shows that, at the beginning, there existed different layers such as “Bocheon·Hyomyeong-Sangwonsa” and “Sinhyo-Woljeongsa”. Of course, they came to be integrated into one in the course of the full-fledged development of Odaesan Buddhism. In other words, since the independent aspects were later combined, there came to be a problem in the unity of the Odaesan data. In this paper, this problem was resolved, and the effects by Bocheon·Hyomyeong and heterogeneity between the date of Sinhyo's comments on Odaesan and records on him were analytically reviewed. Through this review, Sinhyo's personality and characteristics became clearer.
