발해 연화문 와당의 고구려 계승성 검토

Abstract

As the individual elements of design are creative in comparison with neighboring regions, the origin or lineage of the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae is very obscure. In this thesis I reviewed on the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae through analyzing the individual elements of design like the shape of lotus flower,interval design, supplement designs, ovary and composite designs. Then I examined that how the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae succeeded the characteristics of Koguryo roof-end tiles. The roof-end tiles of Koguryo are very creative. When the roof-end tiles of Koguryo transformed from roof-end tiles with clouds design to lotus design, they took lotus bud design as a alternative to lotus petal design which was common in East Asia. As the roof-end tiles with lotus bud design express lotus flower independently, they would influence not only lotus flower but also the other design elements. In the divergence process of the roof-end tiles with lotus design, these characteristics of modes were inherited. As a result, the roof-end tiles with the combination of lotus and other designs which alternatively arranged two design elements of lotus + lotus design showed up. For the roof-end tiles with lotus + lotus design set the same design elements on a side of roof-end tiles, we don’t have to distinguish between central design and composite design. While the lotus design in central design maintains the mode of carved-in-relief lotus bud traditionally, the lotus design in composite design takes the mode of carved-in-line lotus bud or side faced lotus flower to reveal the nature of the roof-end tiles with composite design. And yet the mode of carved-in-line lotus bud and side faced lotus flower which is the characteristics of the roof-end tiles with lotus + lotus design continues to the roof-end tiles of Balhae. In my opinion the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae also expresses lotus buds as a alternative to lotus petals. In addition to the lotus buds, interval designs, ovary which are the characteristics of the roof-end tiles with lotus + lotus design continue to the roof- end tiles of Balhae. Besides, supplement designs like lotus pearl design which has non dividing line and excavated in Pyungyang area also succeeded in the roof-end tiles of Balhae. So the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae succeeded the modes of lotus + lotus design of Koguryo roof-end tiles and created new modes of roof-end tiles on it. From the fact that the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae succeeded the modes lotus + lotus design of Koguryo roof-end tiles, I conclude that the roof-end tiles with lotus design of Balhae succeeded the modes of Pyungyang area.
