Abstract

The history of modern korea buddhism which have been focussing on the japanese colonial period, is being researched on the recently different fields. But it is true that there were different views among research's identity, its characteristic, and its essence. In order to close the gap, above everything else it needs to reconsider understanding on history of korean buddhism in the Japanese colonial period. In those day the study on ancient history of korean Buddhism met demands of the times, such as restoration of korean buddhist history, efforts of its systematization, the reconstruction of buddhist organization. Buddhist intellectuals studied buddhism through the collecting and readjusting of historical materials for a long time. Also they treated widely buddhist thought and buddhist celebrity, or buddhist culture, including literature, art, music, and so on. These efforts could be solidified the foundation of research by collecting and readjusting of materials. Futhermore, as the weakened region which was suppressed and was boycotted by Chosun Dynasty, although history of Korean buddhism barely remained in one's existence, finally its history came to business in restoration. Expecially at these context of Korean buddhism, its history emphasized that it had contributed korean culture and korean civilization. Also its history asserted that korean high monks's thought and achievement had better than the China's on the basis of the scholarly originality and excellence. these developmental interpretation in relation to ancient history of korean buddhism was carried forward the movement to advance the korean study, so that general intellectuals came to search and reevaluate the status and the value of ancient buddhist history.
