중국문화의 수용과 변용 - 大明律과 授時曆을 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis deals with the reception of Daemyungyool (大明律: basic code of law of Ming dynasty) and the transition of the reception in Chosun dynasty. The code was interpreted word-for-word because it could not be easily understood without knowledge of Chinese legal terminology even for the learned. This research offers an explanation about the process of interpretation. It also refers to Gyunggukdaejeon (經國大典: code of law of Chosun dynasty) in terms of supplementary and corrective roles to insufficiency and problems of enforcement of the interpreted version of the imported code. This paper places in depth emphasis on Chosun’s own social structure, value system and practices by dealing with the articles of Daemyungyool that were locally applied or newly created to the society of Chosun. This paper investigates the processes of acceptance and development of the Islamic calendar through the end of Korea and the beginning of the Chosun dynasty. Muslims have developed the variety of traditional calendars. The Islamic calendar which is used as a representative lunar calendar up to date, comes from the religious needs of informing the worship time and the Ramadan. Afterwards, it became the origin of Shoushi(授時曆) of Won Dynasty as well as Chiljeongsan(七政算) of Chosun dynasty. The various Muslim calendars have not been accepted in direct to Korea. Instead, they have come into China, which became the origin of Guo Shou-Jing(郭守敬)‘s Shoushi calendar in Won dynasty, and the Shoushi(授時曆) was introduced to Korean peninsular. This thesis contributes to examine social aspects of early Chosun dynasty to the extent offering inherent phenomena to the society after inventing new norms of rule through reception of Chinese law culture.
