高句麗 기와의 發生과 形成 背景

Abstract

The formation background of the Goguryeo Dynasty Maksae(瓦當), which refers to tiles decorated on the edges of the eaves. As for the origination of the Goguryeo Dynasty roof tiles, it is suspected to be earlier than the roof tiles of the Silla Dynasty, noting that the roof tiles were mentioned in the myth of the founder of the Goguryeo Dynasty. In other words, independent production of roof tiles was possible in the times of King Taejo(太祖王) based on the advanced social foundation with long-accumulated earthenware production technology. As for Maksae, the production time of snail-patterned Maksae was suspected at least to be before the 4th year of Taenyung(太寧四年, A.D. 326). It was noted that snail-patterned Maksae at that time had unique patterns and the production methods differed from those of China. The people of the Goguryeo Dynasty made unique snail-patterned Maksae and special-purpose roof tiles based on a stable atmosphere in the society and the strong power of King Bongsang(烽上王) when there were few conflicts with Northern foreign nations. In order to determine from what social background the Goguryeo's Maksae were made, both the pattern structure of the Maksae and thesocial background were investigated. The philosophy system of the Goguryeo Dynasty was Taoism combined with traditional religions. Thus, the patterns of Maksae were set, snail-shaped, expressing the flow of Yin(陰) and Yang(陽), and the lines symbolizing every direction of the world. It appears that a lotus-pattern emerged during the times of King Gogukyang(故國壤王) when Buddhism was actively encouraged.
