중국 중원일대 파경(破鏡) 풍습과 한반도 수용

Abstract

In this article, I wanted to examine the origin and development of the broken mirror customs in Northeast Asia, so I reviewed the data excavated so far and summarized it as a basic work comparing the act of paying for broken yearning. In addition, by examining the process of being accepted and changed on the Korean Peninsula, the systematic structure of the Broken Mirror, which has not yet been tried, was investigated. Broken mirror means that a circular mirror is artificially broken and buried in a tomb. It was generally regarded as a characteristic custom of the nomadic people in the north, but there is a limit to data. Rather, it is believed that the origin began in northwestern China as it was discovered again in Xuan after the Broken Mirror custom was confirmed in the Luoyang Shaogou Han mu(洛陽 燒溝漢墓) in China. Recently, Broken mirrors were also found near Qin Yongcheng(雍城) during the Warring States Period, and only the bronze mirror among other burial goods was excavated with destruction, so the cool context is found from Qin. In the Korean Peninsula, the custom of Broken mirror began in the 3rd century BC, and so far, 35 cases and 52 pieces across the central and southern regions of the Korean Peninsula have been identified in various forms depending on the time and region through the Bronze mirror with multi-buttons, Han mirror, and Imitated mirror. Until now, the Broken mirror has been understood as the same system as other general crushing activities such as bronze tools, stone tools, and jade tools, but through literature compiled in China at the same time, it can be seen that the period symbolizing the reunion of couples or families is reflected in Funeral Norms. It was also introduced to the Korean Peninsula in this ritual context, but unlike China, it lasted until the 3rd century A.D., as shredded goods, which means extinction as an afterlife property, rather than reunion through sectional goods.
