『산해경』에서의 조화와 상생의 모색 — 인간과 신적 존재의 관계를 중심으로 —

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand the wisdom of harmony and coexistence inherent in the Classic of Mountains and Seas by examining the meaning, value, and interrelationship of human beings and divine beings in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Warring States Period, when he Classic of Mountains and Seas was created, was the beginning of humanities culture, in which the perception that the world can be reasonably reorganized by human rational thinking was widespread. On the other hand, the vanishing tradition of wū(巫) begins with a sense of the problem of how its ideological value changes. Ideas also go through the process of growth and extinction according to the changes of the times, and it is necessary to examine their internal transformation and transformation by external factors on how the changing thoughts respond and respond to the times. This study confirms the way of self-change advocated by the group of authors of the Classic of Mountains and Seas under this background and its influence, that is, the regulation of spiritual existence and the new establishment of relationships with humans. In other words, it can be confirmed that the relationship between humans and gods is not a one-sided relationship but coexisting based on harmony within the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Externally, it shows an aspect of self-change that does not violate the humanistic spirit of the time that a universal flow in other thoughts, that is, human-centered active behavior, takes precedence.
