헌릉 수호사찰 奉獻寺 건립과 폐사

Abstract

Nine building sites in District 1 are Bongheonsa(奉獻寺) Site, which used to be Heonneung(獻陵) Neungchimsa(陵寢寺), according to the 2015 Housing Site Development Excavation Report at 540 Suseo-dong at the foot of Daemosan Mountain(大母山). It is estimated that it was established sometime after King Sejong's 8th year. When Heonneung was created, however, Neungchimsa was not placed under King Taejong's orders, which had an impact on King Sejong's Yeongneung(英陵). As a result, Neungchimsa hasn't been built in a long time, but in his later years, King Sejo endeavored to construct Neungchimsa Temple in Heonneung and Yeongneung Royal Tombs at the foot of Daemosan Mountain. Heonneung Neungchimsa was no longer a topic of contention after King Sejo died after pausing work due to a flood, and King Yejong moved Yeongneung to Yeoju and King Seongjong renovated Silleuksa(新勒寺) as Neungchimsa. Meanwhile, Queen Wongyeong(元敬王后) and Hoeamsa(檜巖寺) in Yangju took over the job of Heonneung Neungchimsa, and Queen Wongyeong and Hoeamsa Temple were very close, and it appears to have worked because they were in charge of all the royal gishinjae(忌晨齋) at the time. As a result, Queen Munjeong(文定王后) referred to Hoeamsa Temple as Heonneung Neungchimsa, despite the fact that it was just functioning as a representative for Neungchimsa. Then, around the 20th year of King Myeongjong's reign, Hoeamsa fell into disrepair, and it was repaired around 30 years later, during which time it is thought that Bongheonsa was founded. Since then, Joseon's royal tomb guardian temple has been renamed Joposa(造泡寺), rather than Neungchimsa. This is because, now that the role has been removed, providing tofu to the nunchim by placing the Jopo seung(造泡僧) has become a major function. This is also related to the fact that in the late Joseon Dynasty, all literature sources about Bongheonsa Temple only indicated the role of Joposa. Bongheonsa formerly Heonneung Joposa, began to decline in the 18th century and gave over its function to Yongin Bongseosa by the middle of the century, making it a Heonneung guardian temple that lasted just about 120~130 years.
