月精寺에 대한 인식의 역사적 변천과 그 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this book is to examine the historical transition process of the perception of Woljeong Temple, a temple representing Odae Mountain, and to examine its meaning. To this end, we looked at the changes in the perception of Woljeong Temple from its founding to the late Joseon Dynasty. The website of Woljeong Temple says that it was founded by Jajangyulsa in 12 years (643) with Queen Seondeok of Silla, but after reviewing various records related to the foundation, Jajang visited the site for the first time, but it was through figures such as Sinhyo, Sinsin and Yuyeon that formed a temple. It is closely related to the late Goryeo Dynasty when Monk Iil made a large-scale reconstruction of Woljeong Temple. Subsequently, the recognition of Woljeong Temple in the Joseon Dynasty was focused on the relationship between Sangwon Temple, which is currently the horse temple of Woljeong Temple. Sangwon Temple had a higher status than Woljeong Temple, not only during the Silla Dynasty, but also during the mid-Joseon Dynasty, when it was said that Sangwon Temple was founded. Sangwon Temple was the place where the state-led waterworks were held, and various support at the national level was also led to Sangwon Temple, not Woljeong Temple. Although the scale of Garam was so large that Woljeong Temple overwhelmed Sangwon Temple, the majority of writers who visited Odae Mountain tended to recognize the center of Buddhism as Sangwon Temple or the Great Red Palace. In the process, the memory of Woljeong Temple was distorted. As the temple entered the 20th century, Woljeong Temple was designated as Gangwon-do’s 首寺刹, and it became the representative temple of Gangwon-do.
