4-5세기 고구려 고분벽화와 동아시아 문화

Abstract

East Asian culture of 4th~5th century, with China as its center, was in a current of rich and new culture. Buddhism and Daoism, was religious conception itself, which was in the center of this change. Especially, Buddhism led the social and cultural change in northern China which was under the rein of Northern Foreigners. The influence even reaches Koguryo by the end of the 4th century. Koguryo merged Nangnang(樂浪) and Daebang(帶方) to itself by the beginning of 4th century, and by the end of the 4th century, Koguryo added Liaodong(遼東) to its territory. After this, Koguryo began to accept the cultures of regions where the Chinese culture was familiar, or blooming. It is because of this that the makings of Koguryo tomb murals begin in earnest by mid-4th century. Funeral art, which was advanced in Nangnang and Liaoyang(遼陽) regions, influenced the makings of tomb murals in Pyeongyang(平壤) and Jian(集安) areas of Koguryo. The actual influence can be seen in the Chinese type tombs of Pyeongyang regions. Koguryo tomb mural of Pyeongyang and Jian regions were influenced both directly and indirectly. Pyeongyang region and Jian region shows difference in lotus patterns as main subject, and acceptance of West Asian cultures. This is because the two cultures had a regular difference between each others' cultural traditions.
