호국승·승병대장의 이미지와 서사 형성에서 본 사명 유정

Abstract

This paper examines Samyeong Yujeong in the image formation and narrative of Ho Kukseung. Samyeong Yujeong's deeds are mainly preserved on stone monuments. Recently, fragments of the monument have been restored. During the Imjin War, he was well known as the “head of the righteous monks' army” and was a high priest of the mid-Joseon Dynasty. His full name is Lim Eung-gyu, and his other titles are Songwoon, Sameoungdang, and Jongbong. After his death, the title given to him by the king was ‘Jatonghongjejonja’. The name used by monks is more commonly called ‘sameyoungdang’ than ‘yujeong’. They are also called ‘sameyoungdaesa’ as a respect. The origin of these modern records and narratives is the record compiled by Heo Gyun in 1612 and the record compiled by his disciple Haean. On the basis of these materials, his image and narrative are created. In particular, the image and significance of his protest against Japanese aggression were strengthened during the Japanese colonial period, the June 25 War, and the division of North and South Korea. In the Buddhism of the country, which fought externally to protect the country and the people, he derives the image of a hero who saved the country. Thus, the image of a monk who saved the country is emphasized rather than the image of a monk searching for the truth of Buddhism, and the narrative is confirmed as a related image. It was recalled or called as a hero who was integrated with the state. To that extent, from the point of view of cultural content, he was a fascinating figure called OSMU of the country. On the other hand, there can be contrasts in Hoguk Buddhism. In history, there are cases where people take their own lives and take the lives of others for the sake of their country. In comparison, he shows that he was thorough in his defensive actions for the peace of Korea and the safety of the people in the face of Japan's ruthless aggression. In this paper, we first examined the main sources related to his deeds, and then examined the various surviving portraits and the various evaluations of him in the modern period in order to reveal the formation and narrative of the image of a monk who defended the country.
