화합문화와 동국이념: 한국문화의 복합적 특징

Abstract

There is an integral part of the association among Korean literature, Chinese literature and Confucius culture. Other than geopolitical diplomacy, there is also a mission about cultural output or input for no matter students abroad in China,recommend scholars, folk songs collectors, the given books by emperors, scheduled or unscheduled tributes. However, it appeared that it was an uncoordinated culture exchange in the early Chinese culture and Korean peninsula. For Korean society,it’s much more than a style of receptive, or a status of survival mode which had to absorb actively. This kind of cultural integration showed a harmonious and stable status which called harmony. We can say that during the history of cultural exchange between the two countries which lasted more than 2000 years, harmony is the main trend and the most important feature. However, along with the civilizing and improving of culture, the consciousness of territorial states and nationality got improved, which led to a change in auto-gnosis for some national states. That can be affirmed in the investigation on Eastern philosophy connotation. In different developing stage of culture, the connotation regularly showed a degree of self-confidence on the premise of realizing the existence of China. The national self connotation will be more plentiful and forceful if the people take more confidence on their own culture. On the contrary,it will be showed as a modesty consciousness. It can reflect how the Chinese culture influenced the culture of Korean peninsula. In a manner of speaking, the influence can be considered as a status of integral whole that can’t be taken away. It can be confirmed in aspects of establishment and creative works of Chinese poetry and literary theory.
