은산별신제의 배경설화와 무가의 의미 연구

Abstract

The present study purposed to examine the meanings of the background folktale and shaman songs of Eunsanbyeolsinje(은산별신제). There have been few researches on the literary meanings of the background folktale and the shaman songs of Eunsanbyeolsinje. The background folktale has reinforced the Baekje ritual(백제의식) according to its ritual pattern. The place described in the narrative structure of the background folktale a battlefield or a position. The background time is mainly the period of Baekje revival movement, but the ritual form was established later after the socio‐economical aspect matured in the region. The figures are considered Boksin(복신) and Dochim(도침) in that the ritual expresses the local residents’ subconsciousness toward the fallen Baekje soldiers. Shaman songs of Eunsanbyeolsinje are largely divided into the prayer in Sangdang‐gut(상당굿) and that in Hadang‐gut(하당굿). The shaman song of Sangdang‐gut, which is composed of eight stanzas by combining Sangdang‐gut and Sangdanggangrim‐gut, describes people’s wish that major divines of Byeolsinje would sit down at the table and enjoy the sacrifices. The shaman song of Hadang‐gut composed of four stanzas is a round of exciting play while feeding ghosts and sundry spirits. It blesses the officers and village people who labored hard to prepare the Byeolsinje. The present study would be meaningful when the relevant materials are examined closely from the psychological and ritual aspects.
