古代 東北亞 神話를 통해 考察한 東夷族의 “밝음”(明) 文化

Abstract

In modern global society of the 21st century, people are experiencing serious threat in maintenance and realization of humane and safe life due to conflicts between religious beliefs, deepening of phenomenon of social unfairness, adverse effect of inclination to materialistic value, and environment pollution and depletion of resources. As a diagnosis and treatment for overcoming these, insistences of professor and physicist, F. Capra pointing out that "oriental ideology of philosophy of the Yi-King (易經-the Book of Changes) is more useful than opinions of Marx who had overemphasized contradiction and struggle in the evolution of the society for overcoming the current global crisis" and of a theologian, Dr. Lee, Jeong-Yong saying that "a christian message monopolized by an exclusive western logic shall be reinterpreted by oriental thinking of the principle of Yin and Yang (陰陽-the cosmic dual forces)" are worth to listen to carefully. These are all expressions for the expectation of "wisdom of harmony and integration" as ideological essence owned by the oriental civilization. The insistence that occurrence and origination of the oriental civilization is not from Huanghe(黃河-Yellow River) region of China but is based on the Eastern culture by Dongi(東夷) tribe lived in the North East Asia region is now become a common opinion in the academic field. So in this thesis, by analyzing legends with the permeation of ideology and thinking styles of ancient North Eastern Asia society which is the base of the oriental civilization, I have arranged the character and attention of ancient North East Asian society which had started the oriental civilization from the viewpoint of "self-awareness about brightness." In particular, it is very natural and reasonable presumption that the ideology of the Yi-King, which is the essence of the oriental ideology, was originated from the North East Asian region, which is the starting point of the oriental civilization in a sense that a pivotal role of the oriental ideology is in Confucianism and the philosophical horizon of Confucianism is in the ideology of the Yi-King. And the facts that Bokhui who had made the ideology of the Yi-King and Confucius who had completed philosophical system of the ideology of the Yi-King were all Dongi tribe who was the main subject of the Eastern culture prove this. Also, in the Book of Changes, the fact that Confucius had clearly indicated that "the ideology of the Yi-King will be completed in the North East region where the ideology of the Yi-King was originated" clearly predicts that the responsibility and mission to complete the oriental ideology with the principle of harmony & toleraiental iintegration & moderation in the future world of mankind are given to Korean people together with the pride of starting human civilization by Korean people who had deployed the philosophy of the Yi-King, which is the ideology of brightness, in the East cultural region.
