新羅 上古期 王妃族의 등장과 추이

Abstract

The Queen’s Group in the upper-ancient period of Silla was not a member of the Royal family but one of powerful noble families. The queen’s group was distinguished from other noble families by making queens constantly. Queens in the upper-ancient period of Silla performed a role more than king’s wife. The birth myth of silla about the founder king, Park-heuck-koe-se and his wife, queen Ar-young was reviewed at the shrine ceremony. The shrine Ceremony was performed regularly and it had an ideological function. At that ceremony, a queen was a priest who had worshiped the god of mother earth, Ar-young. It was a very important role of queens. So queens were considered important as much as kings and this is why queen’s group had a place for ages. Kim’s family which had the name ‘ar’ was placed in a powerful position as the queen’s group in the upper-ancient period of Silla. Kim’s family could extend it’s power through the political alliance with ‘Tal-Hae’s group which had the ability of making ironwork. However, the activity of kim’s family wasn’t written in the historical records. This is probably because kim’s family had a specific position as the queen’s group. Meanwhile, It is noteworthy that Kim Hu-ru who had a government position, E-cha and belonged to Han-ki-bu had been a queen’s father for some time. He was found out first as a queen’s father on the records in king Yu-ri’s period and he was also gueen’s father in king Tal-hae’s period and king Pa-sa’s period. Tal-hae settled in Han-ki-bu and became the first king of Suk’s family due to Hu-ru’s support. Judging from this, Hu-ru’s powerful political position continued by making his daughters a queen and Hu-ru was very close to the Suk’s group. Suk’s family hadn’t made a king after Tal-hae for a while. However Suk’s family was one of the powerful noble familes and attempted to make it’s political pisition stronger by alliance with Hu-ru’s group which made a queen continuously in Han-ki-bu. Meanwhile, After king Nul-ji who was first Malipgan, The Royal female which had the name ‘ar’ was vanish completely. After all, The Royal female which had the name ‘ar’ and Queen’s Group lose thier prestige and a powerful position as the queen’s group in the upper-ancient period of Silla.
